Upon purchasing a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 tablet from the Microsoft Store, buyers can avail a $100 promotional credit and a free Snugg sleeve. The well-known Snugg sleeve is a polyurethane synthetic leather cover, which comes at a price of $29.99. Adding a cherry on top, there are a slew of sleeve colours to choose from and they are purple, magenta and red.

Potential buyers should note that the "free sleeve" is a limited period offer and the deal ends on Jan. 4, 2015. On the other hand, the $100 promotional credit can be availed until Dec. 20. In addition, interested buyers can utilise the promotional credit to reduce the price of the Type Cover from $129 to an impressive $29. Nonetheless, the credit can also be used to purchase any other accessories and content as well, notes Phone Arena.

The tech giant has not let go of any opportunity to market its much-appreciated 2-in-1 business-centric tablet, featuring a humongous 12-inch display. Upon purchasing the optional Type Cover and the built-in kickstand, the tablet can be converted into a laptop for professional work. And according to Microsoft, the Surface Pro 3 has been selling faster than other models of the Surface Pro line-up.

As far as the key specifications go, the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 features an impressive 2,160 x 1,440 pixels resolution on a 12-inch Full-HD+ display. Under the hood, the device is powered by Intel Core processor. Specifically, the tech giant provides three different processor choices to choose from and they are the 4th generation Intel Core i3, i5 and i7. In addition, buyers can also choose the RAM configuration from 4 GB and 8 GB choices. Notably, the Pro 3 houses TPM Chip for enterprise security.

Speaking of memory, the tablet comes with 64 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB of built-in storage options, along with microSD card support for expansion. Also, there is a 5 MP camera unit at the rear, as well as on the front of the device. As per Microsoft, the Pro 3 can provide up to 9 hours of battery life. Lastly, the Surface Pro 3 tablet comes with the much-required "Surface Pen," similar to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4's S Pen stylus.
