Microsoft has just announced that the upcoming Surface with Windows 8 Pro tablet would hit the market in January 2013 and would be released in two different versions.
Pricing will start at
$899 (€690) for the 64 GB model, while the 128 GB version will be offered with a price tag of
$999 (€770).
Both versions will come with a
Surface pen with Palm Block technology and although the package won’t include a Touch Cover or a Type Cover, it’ll support both of them.
As compared to the Surface RT, Surface with Windows 8 Pro will feature
Intel’s next-generation Core i5 processor that “will give Surface with Windows 8 Pro a graphics boost for its 10.6” 16:9 ClearType display that runs at a 1920x1080 full HD resolution,” as Panos Panay, general manager of Microsoft Surface, said.
A full-size
USB 3.0 port will also be available, while the Mini DisplayPort supports external displays with resolutions of up to 2560x1440.
The tablet will weigh less than two pounds (
907 grams) and will be only 14 millimeters thick.
