The latest version of Microsoft's Windows tablet comes with LTE capability
Size-wise the Surface 2 4G's dimensions are exactly the same as the Wi-Fi-only version, but it's added another 10g or so to the weight -- so nothing to worry about really. It still comes with a full-size USB 3.0 port and that useful dual-position kickstand on the back. The only real difference as far as the hardware goes is with the micro-SIM slot that's been sneaked into the left-hand side, beneath the volume rocker, giving you the option of 4G network access so you can get connected when there's no Wi-Fi available.
Processor and software
All the good stuff's still here though -- a fast quad-core 1.7GHz Nvidia Tegra 4 processor, 10.6-inch screen offering 1,920x1,080-pixel HD resolution (though only five-point multi-touch capability), plus a pretty decent 5-megapixel camera on the back and a 3-megapixel version on the front.
The battery should also serve you well, promising ten hours of use, though we found that closer to eight and a half in testing -- still a very good result.
