14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft now allows users to preorder a Surface 2 tablet and early reports point to a rather surprising success for the refreshed device, especially because the first-generation failed to sell in high numbers.
The tech giant is recommending those who want to purchase a Surface 2 to do this as soon as possible, as the tablet is only available in limited numbers, so it could go out of stock any minute now.
“We want you to know we have limited availability. You should pre-order now to ensure getting the products you want on Oct. 22,” Brian Hall, general manager of the Surface project, said in a blog post.
Both the Surface 2 and the Surface Pro 2 will ship to first buyers on October 22, only four days after the public launch of new Windows 8.1 operating system, so Microsoft expects most users to send a preorder by this date.
