Microsoft has been trying to establish itself in the hardware segment and has a lineup of devices under its Surface branding. It had recently launched the Surface Pro 8 and the Surface Go 3, both of which are getting new variants.
The Redmond-based technology giant has launched LTE-enabled models of the Surface Pro 8 and the Surface Go 3 devices in the United States, which are now available for purchase.
Prior to the launch of these LTE-enabled models, the devices were available in Wi-Fi-only variants. The launch of the new models comes along with the availability of a Matte Black color option for the Surface Pro 8.
The newly launched models can be purchased directly thorugh the Microsoft Store. The Surface Pro 8 can be ordered in both Intel Core i5 as well as Core i7 models but it seems to be available in only the Platinum color option.
Currently, only the Business edition model seems to be available with LTE support and it’s not yet clear if the consumer-focused version will get support for this additional connectivity feature or not.
As for the pricing, the LTE-enabled Microsoft Surface 8 Pro starts at $1,350 with the base configuration of an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and 128GB internal storage. On the other hand, the Surface Go 3 with LTE support, having Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB RAM, and 128GB SSD storage costs $730.
