Chance to win $250 in Petri 2023 Audience Survey
Microsoft has announced two new programs today that the company hopes will make it easier for organizations to buy Surface hardware. Called Surface Plus and Surface Plus for Business, these are flexible financing options for Microsoft hardware that include other benefits besides low payments.
These services are targeted at the individual and businesses. The goal is to not only make it easier to buy Surface hardware but to also make it easier to upgrade to the next model when it is released; effectively locking you into the Surface brand in a similar way to the smartphone sales model carriers offer.
Surface Plus benefits include:
Surface Plus for Business benefits:
For business users, Microsoft is now providing the ability to finance a Surface Hub as well. The company is only offering the 55in model at this time but knowing that these devices have been popular with corporations, it’s good to see the company expanding the ways smaller organizations can finance these devices.
The biggest downside to this new service is that it is only offered in the United States. If you live outside the US, you are out of luck which again reiterates the company’s focus on the US market while ignoring the rest of the world.
