If you've been waiting to touch a Surface Pro tablet in the living, breathing, once-molten-magnesium flesh, you can finally mark a hard date on your calendar: The Windows 8 Pro version of Microsoft's tablet will go on sale Feb. 9 at Microsoft stores, microsoftstore.com,�Staples and Best Buy in the U.S.
The 64GB version will retail for $900, while the 128GB model will cost a cool $1,000. Both models will come with Microsoft's new Surface pen writing stylus (which I used during a brief hands-on at CES), but neither model comes pre-loaded with any version of Office, which has been a nice bundled addition for Microsoft's struggling Surface RT model.

This is self-evident during a quick scan of its Ultrabook-caliber hardware specs.

Where Surface RT has an Nvidia Tegra 3 ARM chip and 2GB of RAM, the Surface Pro packs a Core i5 and 4GB of RAM. And where the RT's 10.6-inch display has a 1366-by-768 resolution, the Pro keeps the same screen dimensions but increases the pixel grid to true HD at�1920-by-1080.
