Although Microsoft started selling the Surface Pro models equipped with LTE at the beginning of December, it was only available for business customers. However, now the company is making available the tablet with cellular connectivity to anyone at the Microsoft Store.
If you’re in the market for a new true-mobile device, you can now preorder the LTE model of Surface Pro featuring an Intel Core i5 seventh-generation processor, 8GB of memory, 256GB of internal storage, and with up to 12.5 hours of battery life for $1449.
As always, you’ll need to purchase the Signature Type Cover and Surface Pen separately for $159.99 and $99.99 respectively.
These new Surface Pro models with LTE connectivity are expected to start shipping on May 1, 2018, and they’ll also be available in Best Buy stores.
While many consumer customers have been waiting for a Surface Pro with LTE connectivity for a long time, the options are limited, and it’s not yet clear if there will be other options available in the future.
