Microsoft’s 1 TB Surfacebook Costs $3,200

Pricing for the top-of-the-line Surfacebook “ultimate laptop” has been announced. As revealed on Microsoft’s website (via Windows Central), the premium model will cost $3,200; its configuration includes a 1 TB SSD, 16 GB RAM, and Intel i7 processor with dedicated graphics. That’s more than double the price of the introductory model, which has lower specs and sells for $1,500.

Microsoft announced the Surfacebook during a Microsoft Devices presentation earlier this month. The 13.5-inch device, the first laptop Microsoft has ever built, aims to offer the “full punch of a high performance laptop with unprecedented versatility of a tablet.” Microsoft claims the device is two times more powerful than the latest Macbook Pro.

In addition, Microsoft worked with the Xbox engineering team to help with optimizing the GPU. Head to Microsoft’s website to see a full rundown of configurations and price points for the Surfacebook.

Preorders opened on October 7, while the device is slated to go on sale October 26. However, due to strong demand, shipment dates for this model and others have been pushed back to 7 or 8 weeks.
