Good luck finding Surface 3 at nearly $499 here. There’s no Microsoft Store here in Philippines. Unless Villman sells it with huge added price at 30k+.

Here’s the price of Surface 3 for Asia-Pacific. – >m.windowscentral.com/heres-how-much-surface-3-will-cost-asia-pacific-region

SURFACE 3 IS A THE SEQUEL TO SURFACE 2 RT BUT WITH FULL-BLOWN WINDOWS 8.1.

Villman, is that you???

This one is true, finally an affordable windows tablet running full windows (not windows RT). This is very nice, looking forward for its release this coming May.
