Back in April, Microsoft’s Surface Computer began appearing in select AT&T stores across the country but they still weren’t available to the general population. That apparently has changed. A “Microsoft Surface Order Form” is now available as well as “Marketing Guidelines” and nowhere in those documents does it say that the general population can’t buy one.
Below is a screenshot of the order form showing various prices for the unit and for service.
Notice that it will cost you a whopping $12,500 for the unit which you have a choice of metal, black, or white. Then if you want installation service, you can expect to pony-up an additional $1500. Shipping the unit is another $240 dollars! Not cheap!
To bring the “community” of Surface users together, Microsoft has put together a “Microsoft Surface Community Site” which is a “Comprehensive resource for the Microsoft Surface community.” We went to check it out but it requires an invitation. It’ll probably take quite a while before there is any type of community for people to interact with.
Who’s planning on putting their order in for Microsoft Surface?

Hmm, let me take a look in my petty cash drawer, ah pitty only got $10K in there. Seriously though, not like most of us have $10K or more like $20K after service agreements, shipping and extended warranty.
Both the Microsoft Surface Order Form and Marketing Guidelines no longer work.
That thing is five times more expensive than what I consider to be reasonable price for the Surface (2500 dollar).
Bummer… I wasn’t able to get my order placed before they pulled the form.
I would say that $5000 is reasonable since it’s basically a computer AND TV. I’m not sure if it can really double as a TV, but I don’t know who’d want to watch TV on a table.
thats right tonny they all ready have it!!!!!
