The tablet that will replace your laptop is now available for purchase on Microsoft’s online store hosted by Lazada, the online shopping and selling destination. The site on Lazada will function as a one-stop shop in a first ever partnership between the two companies to expand its reach in the Asia Pacific region.

As Bruce Howe, GM, Consumer Channels Group of Microsoft Malaysia, says: “It allows us to bring the latest devices and services to the Malaysian market via a platform that is already familiar to many Malaysians. We’re also excited that customers now have the opportunity to pre-order newly announced Microsoft products online, starting with the Surface Pro 4.”

Hans-Peter Ressel, CEO of Lazada Malaysia adds: “As the number one online shopping and selling destination, Lazada has become the clear one-stop choice for international brands like Microsoft to expand their business in the region.”

You can get various Microsoft software and hardware such as Windows and Office, Microsoft phones, accessories, laptops and 2-in-1 products. And of course, the Surface Pro 4!

We don’t think we could have gushed enough about the new Microsoft tablet. It is the thinnest, lightest and most powerful tablet coined as the tablet that will replace your laptop. It also features a stunning 12.3″ PixelSense Display on its 8.4mm-thin body and equipped with 6th Gen Intel Core processors, which you can choose between Core M, Core i5 or Core i7 processors.

It also run quieter and cooler than its predecessor, the Surface Pro 3, with increased efficiency of up to nine hours of battery life. More importantly, it comes ready with the new Windows 10 so that you can experience features like Windows Hello and the intuitive Cortana.

The tablets will come boxed with Microsoft Type Cover to turn your tablet into a laptop and the Surface Pen. The keyboard has an ergonomic design with optimal key spacing to facilitate fast and fluid typing. On the other hand, the stylus comes with a year-long battery, 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, precision ink on one end and an eraser on the other. Plus, you can get different type of tips for the Surface Pen to satisfy any drawing or writing need you might have.

The online store will open on 27 October 2015 and the tablet will be available for pre-order on that day as well. If you get pre-order from here, you also receive a premium leather sleeve and screen cleaning pad with your purchase. If you can’t wait long enough for 27 October to come, then you can also contact selected Microsoft retailers starting 26 October to pre-order the hybrid tablet and the promotional offer will still apply.
