Surface RT now available in UK Microsoft has announced that the Surface RT tablet has made its way to John Lewis, its first UK retailer.
Priced at £479 and £559 for the 32GB and 64GB variants, online pre-orders have already sold out.

Tomorrow, the tablet will be available in all 41 of the company's stores.

Earlier in the week, the Redmond giant announced it would be increasing production of the Surface, while expanding sales to additional retailers in the U.S. including Best Buy and Staples.

The moves are notable, since the tablet had only been available online and through Microsoft's retail presence of under 50 stores.
