Microsoft Surface Pro coming in Feb, price revealed

 Microsoft on Tuesday announced that its business-oriented Surface Windows 8 Pro tablet computer will debut in the United States and Canada in February with a lofty starting price of $899. 

Microsoft also said that the consumer-focused version of Surface released late last year here will soon be available in 13 new markets around the world. 

The Surface Pro will be available on February 9 at Microsoft stores in the United States and Canada, at the online Microsoft store and at Staples and Best Buy and other retailers. 

"The response to Surface has been exciting to see," said Microsoft Surface general manager Panos Panay. "We're thrilled to continue growing the Surface family." 

Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft described Surface Pro as providing "the power and performance of a laptop in a tablet package." 

Pro tablets, which Microsoft originally said would be released in January, will be available in 64-gigabyte and 128-gigabyte models.
