While Microsoft has become no stranger to “always-connected” tablets in recent years, the company sometimes likes to release new Surface-branded products in Wi-Fi-only variants months before eventually putting LTE-enabled models up for sale as well.
Bargain hunters looking to keep their post-holiday spending to a minimum, meanwhile, will still need to settle for a Platinum-coated flavor priced at a very reasonable $399.99 with 64 gigs of slow eMMC storage and a 4GB RAM count on deck in addition to a modest Intel Pentium 6500Y chip.
That no longer seems to be the case, but if you’re willing to wait before open sales inevitably return, you should know that the Surface Pro 8 for Business starts at $1,350 with 4G LTE connectivity, 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD. Doubling the local digital hoarding room will add $100 to that, with a state-of-the-art 16GB RAM/256GB SSD model fetching $1,650.
