Recent reports suggest that Microsoft will cease producing Windows RT tablets. The Redmond-based tech titan is reported to have invested a whopping $900 million in developing its laptop and despite the fact that its Surface Pro lineup continues to thrive; now it seems that the company will soon discontinue the product sporting the Microsoft Windows RT platform.

According to Christian Today, Microsoft launched the Surface 2 in 2013 and soon several other tech firms, including Asus, Dell, Lenevo and Samsung also rolled out their respective tablets featuring the Microsoft Windows RT platform. However, poor sales, coupled with lack of consumer interest in the RT lineup and the advent of superior as well as cheaper alternatives have made tablets sporting the Microsoft Windows RT platform a monstrous failure.

Currently, Nokia Lumia 2520 is the only tablet belonging to the Windows RT lineup is available in the market. While it appears that Microsoft is determined to discontinue the Surface RT tablets, consumers who are interesting in purchasing the product my avail it at at Microsoft retail stores as well as online shops, provided they do not waste much time.

Conversely, the existing Surface Pro lineup is doing excellently, still able to earn $1.1 billion in the 2015 second quarter. As far as the performance of Microsoft's flagship slate is concerned, the Surface Pro 3 has been able to beat other tablets as the offerings from the Redmond-based tech giant incorporate Intel's "Core I" series of processors.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is said to be coming up with the latest tablet in the Surface Pro lineup - the Surface Pro 4, alongside a number of other tablets, which are likely to feature powerful octa-core processors, in addition to the latest Windows 10 operating system.
