Microsoft drops $150 off the Surface Pro 3

Anyone jonesing for Microsoft's 12-inch 2-in-1 portable Surface Pro 3 can now get the device for $150 off in US and Canada.  The Microsoft Store in Canada will even throw in a free sleeve for your new tablet (but you still need to pay $129 for the super-ncessary Type Cover 2).

Surface Pro 3 now starts at $799.00 for the Intel Core i3 processor with 64GB of storage up to $1799.00 for the top of the line Intel Core i7 processor with 512GB of storage. Is the price drop enough to get you to jump into the Surface Pro 3 camp?
