You may have heard that the pre-order stock of the Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition, Type Cover 2 in Purple and Black, and Touch Cover 2 has sold out at Microsoft Stores in the U.S. It also looks like pre-order stock of the Surface 2 (64GB) and Surface Pro 2 (256 GB and 512GB) are close to selling out – also at Microsoft Stores. We’re pretty happy about this of course given we just unveiled Surface 2, Surface Pro 2 and the new accessories to the world only a week or so ago.

If you’re reading this blog you’re likely a Surface fan, so we want you to know we have limited availability. You should pre-order now to ensure getting the products you want on Oct. 22.

To do this, please go to the Microsoft Store online. From there, you have four options:

1. Pre-order:  Note that for some items available for pre-order, delivery will occur after October 22nd.  A delivery date will be provided in your cart at checkout.

2. For products that are out of stock or not yet available: Please submit your email address when prompted and we will notify you when the item is available.

3. Go to a retail store to buy on October 22, when Surface hits shelves.

4. Buy an alternate Surface device – you have other great options!

Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 have been updated in a way that make them the most productive tablets on the planet. It’s exciting to see a lot of people feel the same!

Also, if you haven’t seen our new ad – we think it’s pretty great. You can check it out here.
