Surface officially landed on Best Buy

Last week we saw some news about Microsoft's desire to open up new sales channels for Surface, so users don't have to go to the Microsoft official store to buy Surface. Now, Microsoft officials have confirmed this news, although some details are somewhat different from previous reports.

First of all, Microsoft's policy will target countries and regions that do not have an official Microsoft store, so US consumers will need to wait for Surface Pro to be released before they can purchase from other sources. First, Australia will be the first country to support sales in other channels. Microsoft said that more countries will gradually begin to relax the Surface sales channel, but Microsoft has not given a specific timetable.

Staples has announced that it will be the official sales channel for Surface, and consumers don't have to wait. They will be able to see Surface RT on their shelves tomorrow, and the price of Staples will be the same as the price of Microsoft Store. So, for consumers, buying a Surface will no longer be a headache.
