News Summary

• Microsoft has raised prices across the board on its Surface PCs.
• The flagship Surface Pro 13-inch, which originally launched for $999, now starts at an eyewatering $1,499.
• Microsoft blames memory prices for the increases, but this is just one of the factors making the MacBook Neo look ever more appealing by the day.
• There are still Chromebooks priced well below the Neo, but as our sister site 9to5Google says, budget pricing may not be enough to protect them.
