Pricing and some specs for Microsoft Surface Pro 3 leak; tablet to be unveiled with Surface mini

Isn't it great when things work out just as expected? Earlier this month, we passed along a rumor that along with the Microsoft Surface mini, there would be a new Microsoft Surface 3 Pro getting unveiled at the same time. This Tuesday is the press event that Microsoft is holding, and now some pricing information and some specs have been revealed for the Microsoft Surface Pro 3.

The Surface Pro 3 is said to feature a smaller bezel, a larger screen size (perhaps going from the current 10.6 inches to 12 inches) and the Windows button will be moved to the vertical side. Five versions of the Surface Pro 3 are said to exist, so here we go. The low-end model sports an Intel i3 chip, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of native storage ($799). Next is the slate powered by the i5 with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of native storage ($999). Another model powered by the i5 doubles the RAM to 8GB and the native storage to 256GB ($1299). A variant with the i7, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of native storage is $1549. And the top of the line Surface Pro 3 is equipped with an i7, 8GB of RAM and 512GB of native storage ($1949).

A larger screen means new Type Covers are needed. They will be available in Black, Purple, Cyan and Red. The latter is expected to be an exclusive color for the Microsoft Store.
 
Stay with us all day Tuesday as Microsoft goes big (Microsoft Surface Pro 3) and small (Microsoft Surface mini).
