Authors: JordanMicrosofts spin on the Surface Pro with cellular connectivity is now available to buy in the US, Canada and Australia.The Surface Pro LTE was previously only available to business customers, but now anyone can get hold of the variant of the 2-in-1 with mobile broadband tricks up its sleeve.Those in the US can order the Surface Pro LTE with a Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and 256GB storage from Microsofts online store for the price of $1,449 which equates to around 1,065, AU$1,930 (or a discounted $1,304 around 960, AU$1,740 if youre a student or teacher).In the US, the non-LTE version with the same spec retails at a recommended price of $1,299 (around 955, AU$1,730), so youre paying an extra $150 for cellular connectivity (except for the fact that the non-LTE spin is currently on sale for $1,099 around 810, AU$1,460 making for a much bigger difference right now).
Youll have to be pretty keen on having LTE to pay $350 extra for it, of course.What about the UKSadly the Surface Pro LTE hasnt yet graced the shores of the UK, but given the general release in these other major territories, it surely cant be long before Microsoft brings it to this country.The other point to bear in mind with this LTE model is that there is only one spec available, and theres no higher-end version with a Core i7 CPU inside.
Although that could well arrive at a later stage.One of Microsofts Surface range makes our best laptops listVia Windows Central
