Another Brexit-fuelled price hike
Over the Christmas and New Year period, we’ve seen some pretty tempting discounts on Microsoft’s Surface Book , but now there’s some bad news regarding the damage a purchase will do to your wallet, with Brexit-fuelled price hikes hitting the convertible.
Thanks to the steep drop in the value of the pound relative to the US dollar following the decision to leave the EU, all Surface Book models have seen their price go up by £150 on Microsoft’s online store.
That means the base Surface Book with a Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage will now set you back a rather eye-watering £1,449 (you could get one for a discounted £1,104 just a month ago). The next model up, with the discrete GPU and double the storage, now costs £1,849.
As for the top-end of the range, the Core i7 offering with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage now tips over the three grand mark, at £3,049 to be precise.
