Microsoft Surface devices land in SA
Microsoft South Africa and Tarsus Distribution have started distributing Surface devices to retailers and Distribution Managed Partners.
As outlined in the announcement around 3 weeks ago, Microsoft and Tarsus will initially supply the Surface Laptop 3 and Surface Pro 7 models to South African channels. These include selected Microsoft Distribution Managed Partners (DMP) and limited retailers.
The Microsoft Surface Commercial products for businesses will be gradually introduced, with supply limited to pre-approved Microsoft DMPs only.
This marks the first time that Microsoft Surface products are available in South Africa through traditional South African channels. Designed with a premium look-and-feel and tight integration with Microsoft 365, the Surface Windows 10 devices are aimed at discerning professional users and consumers looking for a device that balances security, aesthetics, speed, and versatility.
Says Gary Pickford, chief commercial officer of Tarsus Distribution: “We’re excited to introduce the Surface Laptop and Pro products to the South African market, offering a new, Windows-powered alternative in the premium mobile segment. The first two models we are providing to our channel offer a blend of speed, style and versatility for notebook and tablet users looking for a Windows device with a high-quality finish and plenty of power under the hood.”
