Microsoft's New Tablet Costs Way More Than Listed Price Because You Have to Buy the Keyboard Separately

Microsoft just released a new tablet called the Surface Pro 11th Edition. It has a powerful processor (a computer chip) made by Snapdragon. Here's the catch: the tablet doesn't come with a keyboard. If you want to type on it, you have to buy a keyboard separately for about $450. That means the real cost of getting a working tablet is much higher than the advertised starting price. This is similar to buying a car that doesn't include wheels and having to pay extra for them. Other tablets, like Apple's iPad Pro, usually come with keyboards or cost less overall. This makes Microsoft's tablet more expensive when you add everything up, which is why some shoppers might choose a different option instead.
