Microsoft has temporarily [slashed](http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en%5FUS/cat/categoryID.69403400?icid=L2%5FNav%5FPromo%5FStore%5FSurface%5F011415 "undefined") $100 off of the retail price of its Surface Pro 3 tablets as sales of the 2-in-1 device, which can connect with a keyboard and double as a computer, have surged to a record high.
Prices at the Microsoft Store now range from $799 for the 64GB version to $1,849 for the 512GB model, and the deal includes a free protective sleeve with every purchase. The discount will last until April 5, 2015.
The move comes as Microsoft’s sales of the device surged past the $1 billion mark last quarter, marking a new milestone after earlier models failed to gain traction.
