Microsoft Surface Go Pre-Orders Open in India, Price Starts at Rs. 37,999

Surface Go, the most affordable device in Microsoft's lineup of Surface tablets and two-in-one devices, is now officially up for pre-orders in India via Flipkart. Microsoft Surface Go is a 10-inch Windows 10 tablet with an optional keyboard that originally launched in the US in July this year. An LTE variant of the tablet was also launched in international markets last month, but only the Wi-Fi variants of the Surface Go are coming to India.

Microsoft Surface Go price in India

Microsoft Surface Go price in India starts at Rs. 37,999 for the variant with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. Another variant with twice the RAM and storage will be available in India at Rs. 49,999. Both variants are now up for pre-order via Flipkart, with the e-commerce giant promising “tentative delivery by 28 December”, though there's no official word from Microsoft on availability of the tablet.

Separately, Flipkart lists December 27 as the "release date" of the Microsoft Surface Go.

Surface Go Type Cover keyboard will be available in black at Rs. 8,699 while its coloured counterparts have been priced at Rs. 11,799. Note that these are the MRPs, and the keyboards will likely be available via Flipkart at lower prices, when they are eventually listed.

As part of the Microsoft Surface Go launch offers, Flipkart is offering flat Rs. 2,000 off on prepaid transactions, flat Rs. 4,000 off on the Surface Go Type Cover, as well as free annual subscription of Hungama Play worth Rs. 799. There are additional benefits being offered by ACT Fibernet, Kaya Services, and Thomas Cook.
