Salespeople at Microsoft stores around the U.S. claim that Microsoft's Surface Pro will launch in late January, possibly on Jan. 26.

A report by CNET says salespeople at Microsoft stores across the U.S. have confirmed the upcoming tablet will launch late this month.

The Surface Pro will start at $899 -- $400 more than the Surface RT.
