Microsoft didn’t just announce one Surface tablet today — it’s announced one for each of the main varieties of Windows. That includes the Surface for Windows 8 Pro, which is slightly larger than its ARM-based counterpart for Windows RT. In addition to the more full-fledged OS, it packs a larger 42 W-h battery, USB 3.0 ports instead of 2.0, and your choice of 64GB or 128GB of storage (double the standard offerings of the RT Surface). The screen is the same 10.6-inch ClearType Full HD display found in the RT model, but it comes wrapped in a slightly larger package: 13.5 mm thin and 903 grams. That’s apparently not big enough to disqualify it from Microsoft’s new keyboard-laden covers, though, and it even gets another accessory of its own: a pen with a “Palm Block.” As for pricing and availability, Microsoft is only going as far to say that it will be “on par with Ultrabook-class PCs” and available about three months after the Windows 8 launch (when the RT model will be available).Microsoft announces Surface for Windows 8 Pro originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 18 Jun 2012 19:43:00 EDT.
