256 GB Model - Does Anyone Have One?

[garak0410]

I handed down my 128GB model and picked up a 256 Surface Pro a few weeks ago and I am LOVING the extra storage. Does anyone out there have this rare version of the original Surface Pro? I know the specs are not different despite the storage but my eyes are thinking the display is better... :amaze:

You must be talking about the Surface Pro 2, seeing as they never made a 256GB model of the original Surface Pro (it only went up to 128GB). But that begs a different question, how did you get your hands on one, when they aren't even on sale yet?!

I'm well aware they're on display in the Microsoft Store, but you make it sound like you have one you're using personally. How?!

Nope, I've got the first gen Surface Pro 256 GB from here:

They do not list it...you have to specifically search for it. I passed the 128GB down to someone else here and I picked up the 256GB.

Wow, learn something new everyday. This is honestly the first I've heard of a 256GB Surface Pro ever. Quite an interesting find. But why don't they list it, I wonder?

Well, I heard it was overseas only but went and looked for it and bam, there it was. I love having the extra breathing room...though when it comes time to pass this one down, I am sure I'll go for a Pro 2 256...

Yeah, the 256GB model was announced months ago. Yes, it was overseas first then a few months later it arrived here.
