Best answer: No. At present, there is no configuration of the Pro 6 with LTE. If you absolutely need an LTE Surface Pro, the previous-gen version is still available to purchase. If you want something newer, consider the HP Envy x2 or the Surface Go LTE.
- For pro users: Surface Pro (2017) LTE ($1,193 at Amazon)
- Cheaper alternative: HP Envy x2 ($719 at Amazon)
- Budget option: Surface Go with LTE ($680 at Microsoft)
Why no LTE?
There's no reason why the Pro 6 might not pick up an LTE option down the line, but Microsoft hasn't said anything about future plans. As seen with the Surface Pro 2017 model, an LTE option was announced at the outset, and emerged for sale a few months later.
We can understand why a company would be hesitant to add LTE. The downsides are in the way the LTE modem can impact internals. The space required to fit in the LTE components meant that the Pro 2017 LTE was restricted to a fanless Core i5 processor, and similar design challenges may be present in the Pro 6. We've reached out to Microsoft for more information. And for more details on the 2017 Pro with LTE, read our full review or check out the video below.
The Surface Pro (2017) LTE is still available
The Surface Pro 6 might not have LTE, but if you desperately want an LTE 2-in-1, last year's Core i5 LTE model is still on the market. While it doesn't come with the keyboard cover or stylus, it's still the most gorgeous and powerful LTE 2-in-1 available, boasting Intel HD 620 graphics for light gaming and art work, and the power of full Windows.
Last year's Pro is still good
Surface Pro (2017) LTE
The best Surface Pro with LTE
The Surface Pro is a powerhouse of a 2-in-1 tablet, and it now comes with LTE. Complete with fanless Core i5 internals and Intel HD 620 graphics, the Surface Pro 2017 model will get you through around 13 hours of continuous video playback, alongside the full power of Windows 10.
HP Envy x2 for that always-connected experience
If you still find yourself longing for a 2-in-1 LTE experience, the HP Envy x2 is another great option. Powered by ARM, the HP Envy x2 boasts a ridiculous 22-hour battery life, perfect for long sessions away from Wi-Fi or power outlet connectivity. The Envy x2 also comes with a stylus for inking on the move, and a detachable keyboard cover, both of which Surface Pro products tend to sell separately. It's certainly not as powerful as a full Intel PC, but if portable productivity is your bag, look no further.

Surface alternative
HP Envy x2
Portable power in an affordable package.
If you want a 2-in-1 Windows 10 convertible with all the benefits LTE brings, look no further than the impressive Envy x2 from Microsoft. With a ridiculous 22-hour battery life, the Envy x2 is the perfect PC netbook-style experience for those who want to be free of cables, a desk, and even a Wi-Fi signal.
Surface Go LTE as a budget option
For what it lacks in raw power, the Surface Go makes it up with massive portability. The pint-sized PC is almost small enough to fit in your pocket — coming in at 10 inches and weighing 1.17 lbs. The Surface Go LTE has a slot for a SIM card, letting you take the power of full Windows 10 on the go.
4G and go
Surface Go LTE
4G on the move
The Surface Go isn't the most powerful PC out there, but it's one of the most portable. 4G capabilities extend its mobility even further, freeing you from the limitations of Wi-Fi.
