Best Buy kicks off Microsoft Surface Pro 3 preorders
You can now order the upcoming tablet from Best Buy as well as from Microsoft.
Anyone who wants to snag Microsoft's upcoming Surface Pro 3 tablet can now purchase one through Best Buy.
The retailer's website shows the latest Surface as available for preorder. Microsoft began selling the Surface Pro 3 on Wednesday and mentioned that preorders would pop up at some third-party retailers as well.
