Microsoft to Launch Surface Pro in Japan on June 7, New 256 GB Model on Offer

Microsoft is all set to unleash its Surface Pro device in Japan on June 7th. It is a late debut, considering it reached markets on the other side of the Pacific in February. However, there is a new enhanced model that Microsoft has developed. The enhancement is restricted to the internal storage of the device, which has been doubled to 256 GB. The extra bit of storage does make a lot of sense, considering the Surface Pro is aimed at the enterprise sector that often requires storing huge amounts of data. The operating system itself will be using a sizeable 48 GB of the above mentioned storage, another reason why the beefed up internal memory is always welcome. Everything else with the Surface Pro remains the same, with the 10.6 inch 1920 x 1080 pixel display, an Intel Core i5 chip, and a 4 GB RAM. All of the above with 128 GB of storage will cost 99,800 yen or about $975. The same with 256 GB will set you back by a cool 119,800 yen or $1,175. There are a few other designer accessories thrown in as well, which includes a touch cover that costs an additional for 9,980 yen or $100. A tactile key type cover will come for 10,980 yen or $110. The package also includes a pressure sensitive pen, and the Surface Pro will come bundled with the Office 2013 suite. However, it remains to be seen if the Surface Pro sales will get a sales boost due to the extra storage offered. It’s no secret that demand for the Surface Pro, as well as its RT counterpart, has been tapering off recently, which can be attributed to the cross-segment position Microsoft attempted with the device. It’s a bit too heavy to be classified a proper tablet, and it has a unique cover ensuring it can be used as a traditional notebook device. It’s an excellent device, no doubt, though it ended up not being a true performer either as a tablet or a notebook.
