Microsoft has announced a 4G LTE-enabled Surface 2 tablet for AT&T at $679 (Rs. 41,400 approximately).

The Redmond giant confirmed the news via its official blog post and apparently calls the new variant the Surface 2 (AT&T 4G LTE).

The company revealed that the new Surface 2 (AT&T 4G LTE) tablet will be available at Microsoft's retail and online stores, BestBuy.com, and various retailers in the US beginning Monday.

Notably, the Microsoft Surface 2 (AT&T 4G LTE) tablet variant packs similar specifications to the Surface 2, except that the former now supports Micro-SIM.

The company, in addition, has announced 200GB of free OneDrive (formerly known as SkyDrive) storage for two years with every purchase of the Surface 2 (AT&T 4G LTE) tablet.

The official blog post said, "In launching this new version of Surface 2, we're adding the power and reach of AT&T's 4G LTE network to an already fantastic device. Along with cellular connectivity, all of the refinements that went into Surface 2 are here: the increased speed and battery life, the dual-position kickstand, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013 RT and Outlook 2013 RT, the full HD screen, the upgraded front- and rear-facing cameras and full-size USB 3.0 port, just to name a few."

For those unaware, Microsoft launched the Surface 2 in September 2013, alongside the Surface Pro 2 tablet.

The Microsoft Surface 2 (AT&T 4G LTE), much like the original version, sports a 10.6-inch display with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and boasts an aspect ratio of 16:9. It is based on Windows RT 8.1 and is powered by a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 4 (T40) chipset clocked at 1.7GHz.

The Surface 2 comes with 2GB of RAM and will be available in a 64GB built-in storage variant. The tablet sports dual cameras: a 5-megapixel rear camera and a 3.5-megapixel front-facing camera.

The company claims that the Surface 2 can deliver up to 10 hours of video playback, and up to 7 to 15 days of standby time.
