1TB Microsoft Surface Book Costs a Whopping $3,199

Following the release of the 512GB SSD iteration of its new Surface Book tablet/laptop hybrid, Microsoft boasted that it was a 1TB version would soon be en route. Indeed, the higher-storage model is now available for pre-order from the Microsoft Store, but it’ll cost you an outrageous $3,199.

While the 1TB Surface Book also includes 16GB RAM and a Core i7 processor, the $500 difference between that and the 512GB model seems steep.

According to the Microsoft Store, this is what you’ll get for your money:
