Microsoft Surface Pro LTE gets outed ahead of schedule by one UK retailer

Microsoft is widely expected to finally make the LTE-capable Surface Pro official in late October at an event in London. One UK-based retailer, however, simply couldn't wait until then - and decided to list the still unannounced device on its website. What's more, it's even taking pre-orders for the Surface Pro LTE.

It's priced at £1,402.80 with a Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. That's a £153.80 markup compared to what Microsoft is currently charging for the same configuration sans LTE connectivity. So expect the US prices to be around $150 steeper for the LTE-enabled versions of the Surface Pro than their Wi-Fi-only counterparts.

The UK retailer taking pre-orders says it will deliver the pre-ordered Surface Pro LTE devices in December.
