Microsoft has increased the price of all its Surface Book models in the UK due to drop in the value of Pound, post-Brexit.
The base model of the Surface Book now costs £150 more at £1,449, while the top-end Surface Book now costs £400 more.
The entry-level Surface Pro 4’s price is not being changed from £750, but consumers will have to pay £160 more for higher-end models.
A Microsoft spokesperson said the British pound prices of some of the company’s hardware and consumer software are being adjusted in response to a recent review in order to align to market dynamics.
“For indirect sales where our products and services are sold through partners, final prices will continue to be determined by them,” the spokesperson said.
There will now be a great deal of interest in Microsoft’s pricing strategy for its new version of tablet-first Surface Pro Windows 10 computer, which is expected to be released in the near future.
