So if you want to be among the first to have their hands on the new Microsoft device, it’s time to crack out the wallet!

The basic model is yours for £399, but don’t expect to get that clever Touch Cover that Microsoft has been boasting about, that’ll be another £80 and only in black. If you want a white or cyan cover, that’ll be a cool £99.99 on top.

For your money you get a mid-range tablet. It’s powered by the widely used Nividia Tegra 3 quad-core processor, 2GB of memory, offers 32GB of storage and has a 10.6-inch display with 1366×768 resolution.

More specifics include dual front/rear 720p HD cameras, a USB port so you can recharge your mate’s iPhone, an SD card slot for plenty of expansion and a micro HDMI output for HD TV.

The 64GB model that comes with the Touch Cover will set you back £559. All models ships with Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 RT Preview.
