In an unexpected turn of events, a listing for the Surface Pro X on the French Microsoft Store has caught the attention of tech enthusiasts and casual browsers alike, displaying a jaw-dropping price of €77,777.77, which translates to approximately ,000. This staggering figure has raised eyebrows, as it would mark the highest price ever associated with a Surface device, surpassing even the premium 84-inch Surface Hub.
However, this exorbitant price tag is likely the result of a glitch rather than a new pricing strategy from Microsoft. The inflated cost appears exclusively in the Windows 11 Microsoft Store and is absent from the web version of the store. Furthermore, the Surface Pro X is currently out of stock, ensuring that no one can inadvertently make a purchase at this inflated price.
Typically, this time of year sees a slight reduction in Surface Pro prices, as evidenced by the recent discounts on the Surface Pro 11, though those offers have since concluded. The current listing for the Surface Pro X seems more like a humorous anomaly than a serious offer. One can only imagine the Surface team chuckling at the thought of such a price, especially given that they are known for their thoughtful and user-friendly approach, in stark contrast to the more extravagant pricing strategies of some competitors.
While the notion of spending €77,777.77 on a Surface Pro X is certainly amusing, it does prompt a playful question: if Microsoft were genuinely asking for such a sum, wouldn’t it be reasonable to expect a few complimentary accessories, like a stylus or keyboard, to accompany the purchase?
