Today is the 12th and last day of Microsoft's 12 Days of Deals promotion. The last sale takes $200 off the  Microsoft Surface Pro 4 . Three models are included in the savings. In addition, those taking Microsoft up on the deal will also receive a free Type Cover. The latter not only protects the 12.3-inch screen on the slate, it doubles as a QWERTY keyboard.

What might we owe a such move for the iPad? Apple has not given up on pushing iPads into the education or enterprise sectors. However, the  12.9-inch iPad Pro  is too large, in size and in price for schools. The  9.7-inch iPad Pro  is apparently not big enough for the enterprise. A 10.5-inch tablet could be the “just right” size being sought. With a spec-ed out 10.5-inch iPad in the stable, the rumors further point to a cheaper 9.7-inch tablet, with the goal of competing against the wide array of Android tablets. The initial report is coming ...
