Surface Pro 3 specs and pricing Surface

The Surface Pro 3 just got a lot more real as pricing and specs of the devices have been uncovered. The folks over at WPcentral appear to have gotten their hands on the SKUs that will be announced Tuesday as the pricing information is now being pushed out to retail databases and here is what is known, or at least presumed to be, the Surface Pro 3 information. For starters, there will be five, yes five, variations of the product that span the entire pricing range:

For the Surface Pro 3, which is now confirmed as being a real device, there will be five versions offered with varying pricing and configurations:

• i3-4GB RAM-64GB - $799
• i5-4GB RAM-128GB - $999
• i5-8GB RAM-256GB - $1299
• i7-8GB RAM-256GB - $1549
• i7-8GB RAM-512GB - $1949

As mentioned above, there will also be new Type covers, though it's not known what – if anything – is new about them. Considering the Surface Pro 3 is expected to be a larger device (possibly in the 12 inch range), it would make sense that large Type covers would be required. Those covers will come in the following colors:

• Black
• Purple
• Cyan
• Red (Microsoft Exclusive, possibly limited to Microsoft Stores)

ther details about the Surface Pro 3 hint at a smaller bezel, larger screen size and the Windows button being located on the vertical side, as opposed to horizontal. Unfortunately details about weight, battery life, screen size and dimensions, are not known. Needless to say, Tuesday is shaping up to be a major day for Microsoft as the Surface family is expected to grow with both smaller and larger editions. Many details still need to be filled in, including what they look like and other tidbits. Windows Phone Central will be there live to cover the event, so stay tuned.
