It looks like Microsoft is trying to get rid of the original Surface Pro tablets. The company has now reduced the Windows 8 tablet’s price by another $100.
The discount, which only seems to apply to buyers living in the United States or Canada, sees the first-generation model fall to $699 and is due to expire on Dec. 31. The Surface Pro price was previously cut by $100 in August.
Microsoft is almost certainly doing this to sell off remaining inventory and might well stop selling the first-generation device altogether in 2014, as it is no longer listed on the firm's main Surface website.
The company announced the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 in New York last month and the former is now available starting at $899.
