In case you are a die-hard fan of Windows 8, and you're eagerly waiting for the Surface Pro 3 release date, then your prayers have been answered. 

According to a report by BGR, Microsoft confirmed through its Surface blog, that its latest tablet, the Surface Pro 3 will be arriving to 25 more markets in the next couple of weeks. 

Initially, the device has only been made available in the US, Japan and Canada, but today the blog says pre-orders for the tablet in the 25 markets are now open, with a few exceptions. 

Those who will pre-order will get the device on August 28. 

In spite the rave reviews about the product itself, only a few may actually be interested in getting the device. However, Microsoft is unfazed in stating that the Surface Pro 3 is getting the right amount of warm reception it needs.

"It's been a great couple months for us in Surface - great reception in the US,businesses and schools realizing how productive they can be with Surface, a great launch in Japan, spending time with NFL players on the sidelines, and lots of good feedback and updates to respond to it," the company wrote in the blog. 

In the report, BGR mentioned the 25 markets where the Surface Pro 3 would be released before the end of the month. That list includes Australia, Austria, Belgium, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Luxembourg, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand and the United Kingdom. 

While the first two Surface Pro tablets have not quite made the impact Microsoft expected them to make, the Surface Pro 3 may be a step in the right direction with all of the changes the Redmond giant has made, most notably on the software side.
