Microsoft has recently presented the new Surface tablet, so the company can now get back to its usual business and struggle to make the device available to more buyers.

Redmond has just announced that the Surface 2 and the Surface Pro would also go on sale in seven new markets, as it follows: Hong Kong Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.

While pricing details for each of these markets will be announced at a later date, Microsoft continues to work with partners across the world to start selling the device in even more countries as soon as possible.

“Our expanded reseller network, brings a variety of additional value-added services to the Surface family, such as asset tagging, custom imaging, knitting, onsite service and support, device recycling and data protection. We already knew that people who use Surface love it. But, perhaps more importantly, business users who use Surface particularly love the ability to buy through the resellers that they’re already working with for their hardware purchases and ongoing support,” Microsoft noted.

The second-generation Surface is already up for preorder, but shipments will only begin on October 22 for both the RT and the Pro models.
