On Monday, October 26, head to your local Microsoft store to experience the launch of the Surface Book and Surface Pro 4.
Earlier this month, Microsoft ushered in a new era of Windows 10 devices and we’re seeing incredible enthusiasm for the Surface Book, Microsoft Surface Pro 4, Microsoft Band 2 and new Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL smartphones.
Take Surface and Microsoft Band for a test drive
Free this weekend? You don’t have to wait until Monday to check out the new Windows 10 devices. Select Microsoft stores have both the new Surface devices and the new Microsoft Band so you can experience them sooner rather than later. You can also preview them online at microsoftstore.com.
And for those of you who pre-ordered the Surface devices at select stores and will be among the first to pick them up on Monday, you’ll receive a gift bag that includes a t-shirt, a Surface sticker, an 8GB USB and an accessory carrying pouch for your new Microsoft tablet or laptop. It’s just our way of saying thank you!
