Not a long wait. However, do note that as of now, it does not ship to Singapore.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Today, I want to share a bit more detail about the growing Surface family of products and Surface with Windows 8 Pro, specifically around pricing. In January, Surface with Windows 8 Pro will be available in two versions and pricing will start at $899:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>64GB<\/strong> standalone version at $899<\/li>\n<li><strong>128GB<\/strong> standalone version at $999<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both versions will both include a Surface pen with Palm Block technology and include the ability to use a Touch Cover or Type Cover (sold separately).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, that is a USD200 more for the 64GB as compared to <a href=\"http:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/tag\/surface\/\" target=\"_blank\">Surface<\/a> with Windows RT. The price difference will provide you a full laptop experience, a pen and pen input feature and a heavier and thicker tablet. It will NOT have Office 2013 in it. You will need to purchase it separately.<\/p>\n<p>I am very interested to see how much storage is left with Windows 8 Pro. Previously, it was <a href=\"http:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/2012\/11\/06\/reason-why-you-should-not-buy-a-32gb-microsoft-surface-rt\/\" target=\"_blank\">found out that<\/a> with a 32GB Surface Tablet with Windows RT, the users are left with around 16GB of storage space. Now with Windows 8 Pro and without Office, I wonder how much we can get.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/b\/microsoft_blog\/archive\/2012\/11\/29\/next-up-for-the-surface-family-surface-with-windows-8-pro-pricing.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Read More about Microsoft Surface availability from Microsoft blog<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>or<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/Surface\/en-US\/surface-with-windows-8-pro\/home\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for More Information on Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>[ad#boxlist]<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2012\/11\/29\/microsoft-finally-talks-surface-pro-pricing-64gb-for-899-128gb-for-999\/\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally, a price for the Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro.
