We said it a few days ago. The Surface Pro LTE would arrive before the end of the year and we were not going to take long to see it among ourselves. And events have unfolded so quickly that we already have it here An announcement made by the folks in Redmond to announce that we have a new Surface on the market.
A device that is reinforced with mobile capabilities and that in turn continues to have everything we found good about the Surface brand . A model that now boasts LTE connectivity and with which it seeks to attract the user who seeks to be always connected (for leisure or work) and does not want to use their phone as a data gateway.
The new Surface Pro LTE is a model that does not differ from what has been seen so far. With an interior dominated by Intel Core i5 processors, will be available in December in two models whose characteristics we now review in numbers.

The two models come with the same processor and vary depending on whether we choose RAM memory and storage This is how we found a model with an Intel processor Core i5, 128 GB of storage via SSD and 4GB of RAM, and another with Intel Core i5 processor, 256 GB of internal storage and 8 GB of RAM.
The arrival of LTE connectivity brings this Surface closer to a mobile, because thanks to the integration of the Qualcomm X16 Gigabit Class LTE modem, allows up to 450Mbps speed download, becoming the world's fastest convertible in its class.It will also have support for 20 mobile bands so that you can work without connection problems in any environment. Additionally, and as a novelty, the Surface Pro LTE will support e-SIM and companies can provision them through MDM. Likewise, the Surface Pro LTE is also compatible with nano-SIM.
Regarding autonomy, one of the workhorses of this type of product, the company ensures that allows up to 17 hours of video playbackthat can be modified according to the configuration chosen. In addition, with the use of LTE we will have approximately 90% of the battery life of a model with Wi-Fi.
