Microsoft promised that there would be a version of its entry-level Surface 3 tablet with LTE data, and it’s finally here… well, almost. AT&T has announced that the cellular-equipped Windows slate will launch on July 24th for $30 per month on a 20-month Next plan ($600 total), or $400 if you buy one alongside a Lumia smartphone. This is the basic version of the Surface 3 with 64GB of storage, but that always-available internet connection will help a lot if you’re just looking to check email or stream music before you get to the coffee shop. Just be prepared to perform a lengthy software upgrade after you get it — although the Surface 3 LTE arrives mere days before the Windows 10 launch, it’s still shipping with Windows 8.1.
