Microsoft has just announced that its new Surface generation is now available for customers in 21 markets, with the company working with partners across the world to bring it in more countries.

The new devices are available both online and at select retailers, with pricing starting at $449 (€328) for the 32 GB version of the Surface 2 and goes all the way up to $1,799 (€1,315) for the Surface Pro with 512 GB of storage space.

Of course, Microsoft used the occasion to praise the new Surface generation and say that “it’s the most productive tablet on the planet.”

“It’s not just a laptop: laptops aren’t as thin or light and don’t have a battery that lasts an entire day. It’s also not just a tablet: tablets don’t have click-in keyboards and Microsoft Office that allow real work to get done. It’s not like any device you’ve ever seen,” the company explained.
