Ask HN: Shortage of Microsoft Surface Pros?
I've just checked Canada,US and Australian Microsoft online stores (and local stores in Australia), and it appears you can't get a Surface 2 Pro with anything but the 128gb configuration.
Is it only a short period of time before those sell-out? Did Microsoft build small quantities to prevent another massive write-off? Or are they actually flying off the shelves?

Or is there a Surface 3 coming within the next few months (doubtful)?
- tlack 13y agoI mentioned this in another thread, but I'll repeat it here as a valuable data point. In early January my Surface Pro keyboard died so I went in to buy the new Type Cover. They were sold out in all Microsoft and Best Buy stores in South Florida except for one in deep south Dade. So the accessory demand seems to be there, which suggest the Surface may actually finally getting the attention it deserves. What I'm confused about is why Microsoft doesn't release the data.. are they confident enough that they don't need the PR spin?
