Hello everyone,
I'm new here, and for some days I am looking to buy a Surface Pro 2 256GB. I am from Romania and my country does not have a Microsoft Store and the Surface Pro 2 cannot be found or is very expensive at retail stores, like $300+ more expensive than if bought from US with all taxes and customs paid.
The only place where the 256GB Surface Pro 2 seems to be in stock is at Best Buy (there is also a $100+ sales tax). They accept international credit cards and ship to the US so this is fine by me. But my question is, what is the chance to receive the newer Core i5-4300U processor from BestBuy stock ? I tend to use my computers for 2-3 years or even more, so that's why I always buy high-end models and in this case the speed bump of the new processor and virtualization features (I am a programmer) would help me a lot.
Also, does Microsoft Store (US) charge sales tax (supposing I will wait for the 256GB to come back in stock at the MS Store) ?
Thanks !
