Many potential Surface Pro customers were frustrated because Microsoft decided against taking pre-orders for the devices, leading them to assume there'd be sufficient supply when they went to physical stores in the U.S. He said he's heard Staples never carries the high-end model of any PCs or tablets.

Update (February 13): One contact of mine has a different theory about why Staples isn't getting any of the 128 GB Surface Pros. The Surface Pro 128 GB page doesn't mention any possibility at all of store availability - beyond the option of paying to have devices shipped to stores - while the 64 GB version does. Here's the 128GB page, which says the devices can be shipped for pick-up to stores, but otherwise are orderable online only:Īnd here's the 64 GB Pro page on the Staples site, which does specify these devices are also available in brick and mortar stores: Looking at the site, there is a difference between the listings for the two Surface Pro listings. A Staples spokesperson said: "We don’t publicly discuss internal plans." A Microsoft spokesperson referred me to the "demand for Surface Pro is so great" statement again. I asked Microsoft and Staples both for comment on this. I've been hearing scuttlebutt that Staples might have intentionally decided against ordering many Surface Pros because of soft demand for Surface RTs. It's interesting Panay didn't say Staples would be getting more 128 GB Surface Pros. Microsoft execs have said previously that they'd have more to say about broader Surface Pro availability None of the Microsoft officials on the chat responded to any of those questions - or to questions about availability of Surface Pro in countries other than the U.S. 128gb at BBY, MS Stores by Saturday."Ī number of participants on the chat asked Panay and team why there were seemingly so few Surface Pros available. "We are shipping more 64gb now to BBY, Staples, MS Store and online. Our focus is to get ordered Surface units delivered to our customers as quickly as possible.”īut during a Twitter chat on February 12, Panos Panay, the head of the Surface team, provided a few more details about availability.
Until February 12, the answer I received, via company spokespeople, was "“We are pleased that the demand for the Surface Pro is so great. I've asked a few times in the past couple of days about what caused the supply problemsĪnd when there would be more devices in stock in the U.S. In some cases, 64 GB models sold out, as well.
Within minutes - or even less in some cases - the 128 GB Surface Pros were sold out at Microsoft brick-and-mortar stores, Microsoft's online store, Best Buy and Staples. Microsoft made the Intel-based Surface Pros commercially available starting February 9 It's been like pulling teeth to get the Microsoft Surface team to talk about what's going on with Surface Pro supply, beyond the most basic statements. 41 impressive questions to ask in a job interview
