REDMOND, Wash. — Feb. 28, 2013 —
Microsoft Corp. today announced that beginning late March the rollout
of Surface will continue, bringing Surface RT with Windows RT to Japan,
Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore and Taiwan and Surface Pro with
Windows 8 Pro to Australia, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, New
Zealand and the United Kingdom in the coming months.
“We are eager to see people and businesses in more countries get a
chance to experience this new category of devices,” said Panos Panay,
corporate vice president, Microsoft Surface. “Surface is the best of a
tablet and a PC.”
Surface is an extension of the Windows experience, letting
customers work, play and connect with the people who matter to them.
Surface lets customers transition between entertainment and creation. It
offers an ultralight durable casing and an integrated kickstand and
cover that allow customers to be productive anywhere, as well as a
full-sized USB port and microSDXC card slot for adding additional
storage and a 16:9 widescreen high-definition display that makes it
optimal for viewing and sharing content easily.
Surface RT is best described as a tablet with some laptop
capabilities that weaves productivity and mobility into one beautiful
product. It is great for those people looking for all-day battery life*
and an entertainment-first experience with the ability to still get work
done. Surface Pro is comparable to a full-blown Windows laptop that
also boasts tablet capabilities. For the first time, customers can have a
fully functional PC that looks, feels and acts like a tablet. With
Surface Pro, customers can do virtually everything they have ever done
on a PC, ranging from using their favorite desktop applications to
enjoying the protection of world-class safety and security software.
