Keizer did his own
back-of-the-envelope calculation to estimate that Microsoft has lost
$1.73 billion since the Surface’s debut in 2012. The total loss for
FY2014 was $680 million, and it was $1.049 million for the year before,
according to Keizer.
His calculations
also revealed that in the June 2014 quarter alone, the Surface had lost
$363 million, the largest quarterly loss for the Surface since Microsoft
started releasing quarterly revenue figures.
He said some of the
losses was due to massive write-offs from the Surface Mini, which never
hit the market despite being ready for production, out of fear it would
not sell well.
I think the newest version of the Surface is pretty decent for the most part. However, I would still rather own a Nexus or an iPad.
