- Surface Pro 11 and Laptop 7 prices surged by $500
- The price hike follows a global RAM shortage
- Cheaper Surface models are also affected by increased costs
Microsoft has announced a significant price increase for its Surface devices due to the ongoing global RAM shortage. The 13-inch Surface Pro 11 and the 13.8-inch Surface Laptop 7 now cost $1,499, a $500 increase from their original prices of $999.
Last year, Microsoft discontinued the $999 versions, opting for higher-priced models with more storage. This strategy aimed to make space for the more affordable Surface Pro and Surface Laptop launched in May, but these recent price hikes show that no models are immune to the escalating costs.
