The Surface RT has been available a little over a month now and with reports that it isn’t doing so well in the consumer markets, it makes sense that Microsoft would announce the Surface Pro in an attempt to put the Surface RT to its grave. Today Microsoft announced pricing for two different models of the Surface Pro that will become available in January. These models are:

64GB standalone version at $899

standalone version at $899 128GB standalone version at $999

Both versions will ship with the Surface pen that is shown in the above image. Of note are the specs for the Surface Pro, which include:

Core i5 processor

10.6″ 16:9 ClearType display capable of 1920 x 1080 resolution

Full-sized USB 3.0 port

Mini DisplayPort capable of 2560×1440 external resolution

Capable of running both Metro and desktop applications

Now that the Surface Pro has been announced, what do you think of the pricing and the specs?
