Microsoft will bring the Surface Pro 3 to the US market on May 21st. The Surface Pro 3 will be available in five different versions. The configuration options are shown in a table at the end. In Germany, the Surface will be delivered at the end of August. The current delivery date at Mircrosoft is 28.8.2014/XNUMX/XNUMX.

Pen input is also possible in the upcoming version. Microsoft charges € 50 for the pen. As usual, the keyboard is not really cheap and costs € 130 and the docking station costs € 200. Furthermore, the fourth generation of Intel processors are installed. The new version of the surface's typical folding stand offers eleven different positions. The two cameras at the front and rear are technically the same. In addition, Mircorsoft has improved the fan and speakers.

With the high prices and strong competition from iPad and Co., the Surface will not have an easy time gaining market share.
