In the United States Microsoft’s Surface 3 tablet is available for $499 and up. But you’ll have to pay $599 or more if you want a model with 4GB of RAM.

That’s because the cheapest model has 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, while higher-priced models have 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

Now it looks like there’s another option: Microsoft is offering a model with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

You won’t find the mid-range model on Microsoft’s website. But you can pick one up from CDW (http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Surface-3-64GB-tablet/3674365.aspx), MacMall (http://www.macmall.com/p/Microsoft-Tablet-PC%27s/product~dpno~13473642~pdp.jaigaih), Provantage (http://www.provantage.com/microsoft-lc5-00001~7MSSX0HH.htm), PC Connection (http://www.pcconnection.com/product/microsoft-surface-3-4gb-64gb-10.8-tablet-acabgn-bt-2xwc-fhd-mt-w8.1p/lc5-00001/19459444) or other stores for about $549 in the US.

As Betanews notes, it sells for about €659 in Germany, which puts it about halfway between the European prices for the entry-level and high-end models.

Like other versions of the Surface 3, this model sports a 10.8 inch, 1920 x 1080 pixel display, an Intel Atom x7-Z8700 Cherry Tail processor, 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, a USB 3.0 port and Windows 8.1 software.

It has a built-in kickstand and the tablet is compatible with an optional Surface Pen and Surface Type Cover, but those accessories are sold separately.
