Microsoft will officially introduce the new Surface with Windows 8 Pro on February 9, but the device is already available for testing at select retailers across the United States.
Several Microsoft stores are now showcasing the tablet, allowing visitors to give it a spin before eventually buying one after launch.

The product will be officially available on February 9, so even if you find a display model at a local retailer, you (probably) won’t be able to buy it.
The Surface Pro will kick off with a special midnight launch event by Microsoft at Best Buy in New York. The tablet, then, will also be available at midnight, if you’re really eager to own one and can’t wait until morning. The event is only open to individuals who have received an invitation to attend. Although we know it isn’t a press event, it wasn’t specified who will be there.
For those who don’t know, the Surface Pro features Intel hardware, rather than the Surface RT, which features ARM hardware. Because of this, the Surface Pro can run Windows 8 instead of Windows RT, something that has contributed to the RT’s lackluster sales, as consumers aren’t clear on the differences between Windows RT and Windows 8. The Surface Pro will be available at Best Buy and Staples starting at $899.
