Microsoft ha reso noto che il Surface Windows 8 Pro sarà disponibile in Nord America (U.S. e Canada) presso i Microsoft store e on line; il prezzo suggerito dal produttore per la versione base è pari a $899. MS ha inoltre sottolineato che nel bundle del Surface Windows 8 Pro è inclusa la Surface Pen, con la quale vengono ampliate le possibilità di interazione dell'utente con il PC.
Microsoft, infine, ha annunciato contestualmente anche una ulteriore variante del tablet Surface Windows RT con memoria di massa pari a 64GB. Le principali caratteristiche tecnologiche del tablet Surface Windows RT, tra cui la dotazione del processore (o meglio SoC) quad-core Tegra 3 di NVIDIA e di 2GB di RAM, sono incluse nelle specifiche costruttive del tablet ARM di Microsoft.
