Microsoft Surface 2 Release Date: LTE Version of 2nd Gen Windows RT Tablet Now On AT&T; Pricing For Tablet As Low As $10 A Month

Microsoft Surface 2 release date: The second-ten Windows RT-powered, Microsoft Surface 2, is now available at AT&T 4G LTE network. The new variant was announced mid-march and can be availed from AT&T for as low as $10 a month.

Tom’s Hardware, a tech news site, says that sources have pointed to a April 2014 release date for the Surface 2 LTE, but the website of the company shows that the device has been available since March 18. Other rumors have pointed that Microsoft’s Surface division may release a Surface Mini.

The same tech news site said that customers may likely see a second Windows 8.1 update this fall. The huge release, however, is expected April 2015 when the Redmond tech giant introduces the “Threshold” launches including Windows 9, Windows Phone 9, the big Xbox One and a unified store. All these, however, are rumors and must be taken with a grain of salt.

Aside from the new Microsoft Surface 2 LTE, a new Microsoft Surface Power Cover is also expected to be launched. The new accessory will cost $199 and would measure 9.75 mm thin, weigh 0.55 pounds, and is compatible with the Surface 2, Surface Pro, and Surface Pro 2. The unit will also connect with a magnetic interface and feature an accelerometer. Microsoft Surface Power cover will only be available in one color, which is black. It will shipped on March 19.

A description of the Microsoft Surface Power Cover:

"The Power Cover has all the standard features of a classic QWERTY keyboard—a full row of Function keys (F1-F12), Windows shortcut keys, media controls, and a trackpad make it easy to navigate your Surface without taking your hands off the keyboard," reads the product page. "An ultra-thin trackpad lets you control the cursor with your fingertip."
