Save $100 on a Surface Pro 3 for a limited time

If you've been on the fence about purchasing a Surface Pro 3 tablet, perhaps a price cut might help make up your mind, or so Microsoft hopes. From today until February 7 (Saturday), U.S. customers can grab a Surface Pro 3 tablet from the Microsoft Store (online or retail) for $100 off MSRP. In addition, Microsoft is throwing in a protective sleeve valued at $40 at no extra cost -- you can choose from a dozen different styles.
The $100 savings and free sleeve offer applies to four of the five available SKUs -- as you might have guessed, it doesn't apply to the $799 Intel Core i3 4020Y CPU / 64GB SSD model, which is the least expensive of the bunch.
With regards to the four remaining models, they can now be purchased for $899 (Core i5 4300U / 128GB), $1,199 (Core i5 4300U / 256GB), $1,499 (Core i7 4650U / 256GB), and $1,849 (Core i7 4650U / 512GB).
All of the Surface Pro 3 slates sport a 12-inch multi-touch display with a 2160x1440 resolution, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, Full HD 1080p front-facing camera, 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, front and rear microphones, stereo speakers with Dolby Audio, full-size USB 3.0, mini DisplayPort, microSD card reader, various sensors, and Windows 8.1 Pro.
Bear in mind that if you're student, parent of a student, or a faculty member, you can save 10 percent on select models at the Education Store. The $100 sale doesn't apply, but it still ends up being cheaper this way, and the entry-level model is included. Here's a look:

• Core i3 4020Y / 64GB: $719.10 (down from $799)
• Core i5 4300U / 256GB: $1,169.10 (down from $1,299)
• Core i7 4650U / 256GB: $1,394.10 (down from $1,594)
• Core i7 4670U / 512GB: $1,754.10 (down from $1,949)
