Microsoft has recently unveiled the Surface Pro 3 and the company is now trying to make everyone aware that a new Surface model is available, so it has just signed a deal with UK broadcaster Channel 5 to display the device in the Big Brother house during the entire reality show.

No specific details have been provided on this new deal, but it's not the first time when Redmond signs a product placement deal, as the other Surface models have also been used in several TV series, including Grey's Anatomy in the United States.

The Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's most advanced Surface tablet to date and comes with i3, i5, or i7 processors, 4 or 8 GB of RAM, up to 512 GB of storage space, and plenty of connectivity options, such as Bluetooth, USB 3.0, and microSD card support.

The device is already available for preorder and can be yours right now if you decide to buy one from Microsoft's online store.

Deliveries of the top-of-the-range model, which comes with a price tag of $2,000 (€1,500), are scheduled to begin in August, Microsoft promised, but the device will only be available in limited numbers, so you might have to hurry up a little bit if you'd like to buy one.
