Why need LTE? Just use tethering from phone la. Else need to pay extra for tablet and LTE also drain more battery

I was told by Microsoft Singapore that there will be lte on pro 2 but not on surface 2. It will become pointless as a tablet because I have to purchase mifi or deplete my phone batt
you meant surface 2 with LTE right?
Surface 2 - The Faster, Thinner, Lighter Tablet

coz, so far there they only just announced availability on surface 2.
and there haven't been any rumours of LTE for Pro 2, despite interviewers asking MS when they released surface 2 with LTE.

just don't hold your breath waiting for it.
remember that surface 2 and pro 2 was available moons ago.
but only until a couple weeks ago surface 2 just available in sg, if release LTE version too fast they will cannabalise their surface sales.

Same thoughts. After cows come many moons later, may be the Surface 2 LTE would cum to Singapore.

I posted earlier. One SLS shop told me not likely, as was heard during some conference with MS.

Unless parallel imported. If not, I think tough luck for it to appear under MS official auspices.

the freedom case looks like the best so far. can adjust more angles for tilt.
