Surface Pro 3 in UK?

[Paul Foulkes]

Are there any retail outlets for the Pro3 in Uk? I would love to be able to have a look at one in the flesh, try the keyboard and pen etc. Not going to spend a grand on something I've never actually seen or handled!
Will PC World be stocking it? Will anyone be stocking it?
Has anyone outside of the US ever seen one?
If I can get to see one might buy one at the end of the year.

PC world will inevitably get the contract again, but I highly doubt they'll get it at release on the 31st August.
I imagine it'll be online only until maybe a month or so after when PC world will get it (I imagine).

Our IT buyer at work phoned Microsoft because he needed 30 Surface Pro 2s and was told they are currently on short supply because the Surface Pro 3 will be out in the UK on August 20th.

But this is online! Will there be any actual retailers? I want to see, feel, taste one !!!!!!

In theory the current resellers should get it when it's available but I can't be 100% sure (you can see/feel/taste the second generations there)

Doesn't John Lewis normally stock Surfaces? That's where I went to see the SP2. As you say, I want someone to get a demo one in stock so I can go play before finally deciding.
