The Surface Pro tablet from Microsoft will go on sale in Hong Kong tomorrow and in the UK next week, and now Microsoft has confirmed that Australians will get their chance to buy the Windows 8 Pro device on May 30th.
The official Microsoft Australia blog reports that on that day, the Surface Pro will be made available to order online via the local Microsoft Store website, along with the JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman retail stores.
