Surface Book, Microsoft"s first laptop-like device, has been available in the US and Canada for quite a while, with the Performance Base model launched as of October last year. A couple of months later, the firm revealed that the latter version will be coming to eight new markets in the first quarter of 2017.
Since the firm just revealed the full list of markets it would open preorders of the Surface Book with Performance Base in, here is the pricing for each country.
