Microsoft said a variety of Surface accessories are also available for purchase, including Touch Covers in five colors — black, white, magenta, cyan and red — priced at USD119.99. Customers also have the option to purchase a Type Cover in black for USD129.99, which adds moving keys for a more traditional typing feel.
At all Microsoft retail and holiday store locations, staff will be on hand to answer questions and help with Windows RT and Surface setup, so customers walk out the door with a product that is personalized for them.
First unveiled in June, Surface has a full-sized USB port, 16:9 widescreen, high-definition display and 22-degree angle that make it optimal for viewing and sharing content.
