The new Surface 3 tablet can be grabbed via Microsoft Stores, microsoftstore.com and select retailers in the available markets.
Announcing the availability, Brian Hall, General Manager, Microsoft Surface revealed that starting Tuesday Microsoft Surface 3 will be available to buy in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and the United States.

It's worth noting that the limited period trade-in scheme for the Surface 3 tablet is for select markets such as Canada, Puerto Rico, and the United States.

The company after checking the tablet will send an email with a promo code that can be used against the purchase of the new Surface 3 tablet.
For specifications, the Microsoft Surface features a 10.8-inch full-HD display and runs Windows 8.1 out-of-the-box. The company at the launch had promised that Windows 10 upgrade will be available to the tablet. Microsoft had also claimed that the new Surface 3 tablet was the thinnest and lightest Surface ever, weighing 622 grams and sporting a 8.7mm thickness.
As mentioned above, it will be available in two built-in storage models- the 64GB model featuring 2GB of RAM, and the 128GB model featuring 4GB of RAM.
