The lack of Surface Pro Tablet sales has nothing to do with performance. It can't be blamed on Windows 8. The problem quite simply is PRICE. Apple can convince consumers to buy Macbook Air's because Apple has convinced consumers that they are worth it, as high end laptops. Microsoft simply hasn't been able to convince enough consumers and more importantly, businesses to cough up $1,000 for any Surface Pro tablet, particularly given the fact that Microsoft doesn't include a type cover with Surface Pro. No one sees the value in over spending for a Surface Pro Tablet and then having to spend another $120 for a keyboard. One would think that by the second generation of these things, they'd have figured it out and priced them competitively. Apparently not.
