Microsoft is reportedly working on a new, lower-cost Surface tablet, according to a report from Bloomberg.
The new tablet would start at $ 400 and have a 10-inch screen, about nine hours of battery life, and USB-C charging.
Microsoft has dabbled in more consumer-friendly tablets in the past, but has shifted focus in recent years to its pricier pro line of tablets and laptops.

Microsoft could be releasing a new competitor to the iPad as soon as this year.

According to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Dina Bass, the new tablet will have a 10-inch screen, rounded edges, and will be priced around $ 400.
