Microsoft’s Surface Pro 8 is the latest and greatest in terms of Surface Pro models, and earlier today, the company made it even better for those who want only new-generation features.

The software giant today announced a Surface Pro 8 with LTE, and while this is good news for people who seek on-the-go Internet access, the bad news is the device is only aimed at business customers.

The LTE upgrade is available on several configurations, and if you want to purchase the most affordable version, it costs $1,349 and comes with an Intel Core i5 chip paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage.

Interestingly, the cheapest Surface Pro 8 with LTE (which surprisingly came with 1TB SSD storage and an Intel Core i7 chip at just $1,299) is already listed as out of stock on the Microsoft Store in the United States, so you therefore have to pick a more expensive version.

The most expensive version with LTE still available right now comes with an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. It can be ours for $1,849 today.

“Unlock more possibilities than ever with the Pro designed for a Pro like you. The first Surface Pro built on the Intel Evo platform on select configurations and designed to light up the best of Windows 11, Surface Pro 8 combines the power of a laptop with the flexibility of a tablet, and every angle in between, with the iconic Kickstand and detachable Keyboard with built-in Slim Pen storage and charging. Do great things with a larger 13” touchscreen, faster connections with Thunderbolt 4 ports, and extra speed when you need it,” Microsoft says about the Surface Pro 8.

At this point, the LTE version appears to be available only in the U.S., but it should soon expand to other large markets as well.
