This tablet has a $1499.00 originally listed price, that is so wrong. These tablets are only bout 699.00 new without accessories and this one has none. They are trying to justify that high for sale price $549.00. Do the right thing woot.
“Originally listed price” means the price it had on release. The $699 you are talking about is the M3 CPU (not even i3), 128GB SSD, with 4GB of RAM and no LTE. The i5 model, with 256GB SSD, 8 GB RAM and LTE capabilities had a price of $1449. Nowadays this model at $549 is a very reasonable price for being 2 generations behind and still in New Condition with a 1 Year Microsoft Warranty.
