The low cost model running Windows RT on an ARM machine, the Surface tablet for Windows RT will not run full desktop applications like the Surface Pro tablet, but will only run Metro optimised apps. This variant of the Surface is expected to compete with other mainstream tablets and will come with Microsoft Office and Student 2013 pre-installed.
