Microsoft Surface Pro 3 pricing comes with a $129 caveat

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Handhelds, Microsoft, PC / Laptop,

Microsoft announced the Surface Pro 3 this morning, and noted that the device would be priced starting at $799. Of course, with multiple configurations and processors available, you're probably wondering what pricing across the entire Surface Pro 3 line might look like. Well, we've got the answer:

• Intel Core i3, 64GB SSD, 4GB RAM: $799
• Intel Core i5, 128GB SSD, 4GB RAM: $999
• Intel Core i5, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM: $1299
• Intel Core i7, 512GB SSD, 8GB RAM: $1,549
• Intel Core i7, 512GB SSD, 8GB RAM: $1,949

Here's the kicker, though. Microsoft has positioned the Surface Pro 3 as the tablet that can replace your laptop. Well, in order to do that, you need a keyboard. The Surface Pro 3 Type Cover keyboard costs a ridiculous $129.99. So, in other words, that $799 entry-level Surface Pro 3 price jumps to $929 with keyboard. Extra Surface Pens cost $49.99 as well, so, you'll want to not lose the one that comes with the device.

You can pre-order the Surface Pro 3 now. Who's buying one?
