Microsoft is scratching off one more excuse for not buying its Windows tablet hardware with the introduction of an 4G LTE model that glides into US retail stores this week



From Techradar:

Microsoft and ATT today announced the launch of a new Surface 2 model that comes out of the box with 4G LTE mobile broadband and 64GB of onboard storage - but buyers won't find one at their local ATT store.Instead, the Surface 2 (ATT 4G LTE) will be available tomorrow, March 18 for $679 at Microsoft's own retail and online stores as well as Best Buy's website and brick-and-mortar retail stores.The launch includes Best Buy Mobile outlets, but curiously leaves ATT's own stores out of the mix for now, although the carrier was more than happy to crow about being the first to provide LTE connectivity for what they call the nation's premier Windows tablet.
