Computerworld reports that Microsoft on Sunday cut the price of its Surface Pro tablet by $100



The cuts came three weeks after much more dramatic discounts to Microsoft's Surface RT, which was reduced by up to 30% to prices starting at $349.

Microsoft said that the price cuts would be valid in the U.S. and Canada until August 30, or while supplies last. Discounts were also offered to customers in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

U.S. electronics retailer Best Buy -- a key Microsoft partner -- also was selling the Surface Pro tablets at the lower prices Sunday, as was Staples.
