If you’re planning to purchase a Microsoft Surface RT tablet, this could be the right time to do it, as the company has just released a new discount for this particular version of the device.

The 64GB Surface RT is now available via Microsoft’s online store for only $299 (€220), which makes it pretty affordable as compared to all the other tablets sold by the Redmond-based tech giant right now.

The Surface RT comes with a 10.6-inch display with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels, 2 GB of RAM and an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, while also running Windows RT, the touch-optimized version of Windows 8.

The operating system can be freely updated to Windows RT 8.1, which is actually an improved version of the core platform that comes with several major improvements, including a Start button (pretty useless for tablet users), new customization options and optimizations for longer battery life and enhanced performance.
