Never.
Mr.baxi,,that surface is already over expensive,,,why somebody will spend 1 lakh for a TABLET and will keep on spending for seperates,,,,this surface is a complete over charging..
That is a total affair of apx 1.30 lakhs after getting seperates..............1.30 LAKHS FOR A TABLET???
Woah! There's only 1 accessory, that is the type cover. If you buy the pro 3 with the type cover, it will cost around ₹70k. Remember this gets imported and the duty is quite high. I had to pay ₹2500 as duty for importing a Raspberry pi. Also the quality is quite good. This product is not meant for mass market consumption. And thin not JUST a tablet. Its a two in one. I don't see you complaining at the price of the lower speced ipad. Frankly, If you can't afford it, you're not the target customer.
Interestingly, I found that importing the basic surface book (the one that costs ₹99,000 in US) costs about ₹110,000 in India. Apparently there no duty per se for imported laptops in India, but 1% landing charge and 12% CESS. Now that's cheaper than the similar Surface Book...
Isn't there a duty on electronics? Why else did i have to pay ₹2.5k for a Raspberry pi kit costing 8k?
There's something called a "Countervailing fee" on PC and Laptops (which Raspberry PI is classified under). Smartphones have 14% duty, I think.
Now, according to Cybex Duty Calculator, for a raspberry PI of $110 + $25 shipping, the duty to be paid is ₹1597. The problem is that the rule for "Automatic Data Processing Machines" says "Central Processing Unit with at least one input and one output module (i.e., monitor and keyboard)" but the compulsory requirement is technically just the CPU which the PI is. Now, if the customs dude didn't know what it was, he would have grouped it along with something else and taxed you more for it.
I had bought the windows 10 IoT core starter kit. It contained a few wires and sensors too
It's not a Tablet though.
If Microsoft wants surface to succeed then they should make manufacture surface in India. 'Make in India '.
It will be more expensive. None of the components needed are made in India, they need to be imported.

It s simply not for you, forget about it.
A nice promotion.
Speaking from experience, this is exactly how banks get you

@rodneyej banks in India have better support for Windows. At least half of those, including the biggest one their have nice working app in Windows store.
That I do know. That's why I wondered if all of them were available.

Afaik, Stn Chartered and HSBC might be missing.
Stan Chart, HSBC...arent very popular banks here. SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Kotak, etc are
Stupid banks, just switch.
Kotak has one of the best banking apps on Windows. Although not Universal.
ICICI Bank, State Bank of India, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, all these have really good apps.
