I want the dark blue cover, any idea if it solely exclusive to best buy or they just have an exclusivity period after which it is available globally?
Still got a long to go in terms of funds, saving up ?10 a week lol.. going for the top end model. Need something to last me several years :cool:

Only supposed to be exclusive through the end of September... then available from MS.

I see, thanks. Looks like the timing may work for me :D.

The UK Microsoft Online Store has blue, so not exclusive in the UK.

MS site is the only seller of Red in the UK though.


Err, when did I say exclusive to UK? Lol
I said Bestbuy, which was a chain in the UK but no more. They are based in the US, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and China I think.

I got red... and seriously wish I'd have gone with Black instead.

Red would've looked really good if the SP3 kept the black color of the Surface Pro 2 instead of adopting the silver/gray of the Surface 2... but the red+silver/gray thing doesn't look all that appealing to me. I got it in my mind that I'd go back to the Microsoft Store to return it and get a black one... only come to find that they'd only charged me for the SP3 and not the type cover. Figured I'd be something of a ******* to go gripe about a type cover they didn't make me pay for :\

I didn't bother paying the extra money for a keyboard, they tout it as a laptop replacement then only give you half a laptop???? its like selling bags of water on a hot day labelled "ice"

If you are a professional, there is simply no substitute for classic black. Your work PC is NOT the place for making a style statement. Less is more. And believe me, your boss DOES notice the light blue or red type cover on your Surface Pro 3. Just go black.

If you are a student or non-professional, go nuts and pick whatever color you like. :)

Your grey office must be a barrel of laughs. :D

Our exec team (I work for an oil company), are in the process of receiving SP3's with cyan covers.

Well then I guess they all want to look like college kids. Good for them. Maybe they can put smiley faces on the back of the tablet?
Yeah, I guess they can congratulate themselves on their $500m profit with some smiley faces? makes sense I guess.

With your business acumen & analysis I'm sure you'll do well when you grow up.

If I work at a company or with a boss that judges me by the color of my SP3 cover and not the incredible work I do, I don't want to work there or for him/her.

I'm an executive at a $2 billion a year company and rock the red cover without apology. It is noticed and asked about... in a good way... from both co-workers and customers.

Jeez. I am freaking glad I don't work either FOR you or WITH you. Grow up yourself. Judging people by the color of a keyboard or what they put on their laptop covers is a joke.
