You’re stuck with whatever apps have been developed for this particular OS, and if they have quirks or simply don’t work then tough gummy bears.

You can run Windows RT apps but not anything developed for an earlier version of Windows, and that limits what you can do with the tablet. This tablet runs Windows RT, which is the cut-down version of Windows 8. The screen size, CPU speed, and storage is better than what you can find for large tablets in this price range (unless you’re looking at another refurb).īut the OS, well that’s another matter. The specs alone make it a good deal at $169, though this is a refurb so you might want to also buy a warranty. The Surface RT was originally conceived as a competitor to the iPad, but now that you can get it for $170 it is arguably worth considering as a budget tablet. Screen resolution is a decent 1366 x 768. This 10″ tablet runs Windows RT 8.1 on a quad-core Tegra 3 CPU with 2GB RAM, 32GB storage (only about half is accessible), a microSD card slot, 2 cameras, and BT/Wifi. Update: The seller bumped the price to $199.

A reader (Thanks, Patrick!) tipped me to the fact that it’s selling on Ebay for $169, making it potentially a good deal for a budget tablet. Today you can get the original Surface RT tablet as a refurb. Microsoft even ended up taking a $900 million charge in July 2013 due to unsold inventory, but their loss is your gain. Originally a $500 tablet, it has been marked down again and again, finally ending up with a $300 price tag (its replacement costs $449). Microsoft didn’t have much luck with the MS Surface tablet when it launched in late 2012.
