14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft is getting ready to launch the new Surface Pro 3 tablet in retail stores in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico on June 20, with all consumers to buy the device as soon as supplies last.
The company said in a statement that more than 90 stores would allow interested buyers to try out the Surface Pro 3 and purchase one on the same day.
The Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's latest bet in the tablet segment, coming with a 12-inch display, three CPU configurations and storage options of up to 512 GB. The device can be equipped with one of the three processors, namely i3, i5, or i7, and depending on your option, features either 4 GB or 8 GB of RAM.
Pricing remains an issue for potential buyers, as the top-of-the-range model costs $2,000 (€1,500) and comes with an i7 CPU, 8 GB of RAM, 512 GB of space, and the full version of Windows 8.1 Pro.
“Starting now, and continuing through launch day on June 20 and beyond, Microsoft Stores are offering the best way to experience, pre-order and celebrate the arrival of Surface Pro 3. Everyone is encouraged to come in and check out the excitement for themselves and get expert tips and advice on Surface Pro 3 directly from the company that created it,” Microsoft said in today's announcement.
The device is already available for pre-order via Microsoft's website for those who want to get the tablet before everyone else.
