Windows 8.1 tablet on AT&T Wireless?

[edro]

I don't see any Windows 8.1 tablets on AT&T's website.
Do they make one?
All I see is the Nokia that has Windows RT.

I like the Dell Venue 8 Pro, but it doesn't have cellular.

I don't want iOS or Android.

It just seems surprising they don't have one with full blown Windows.

I'm 99.9% sure there aren't any commercially available tablets with full-blown Windows and LTE. Just the Nokia 2520 and the Surface 2 LTE model... both with Windows 8.1 RT

This is primarily a carrier & chipset thing, btw... The carriers have to "certify" a chipset and test a device before they'll officially allow it on their LTE networks.

Wow, that sucks. I guess I'll wait or get an iPad (at least their resale is high).

It's a bit bulky, but what about something like this?

The Thinkpad 10 has a built-in LTE modem. Not sure whether that spec is available in the US though. IMO the TP10 also happens to be one of the best tablets period when looked at from spec/usability/price aspect. The Fujitsu Q584 also has optional LTE, though that's at the upper end of the price range for Wintabs.... though if light weight and tractability is important I personally prefer it over the e.g. Surface Pro 2.

Dell sells their Venue 11 Pro that can work on AT&T or Sprint or Verizon. You just select the broadband option.

I'm on straight talk on AT&T's network. I use internet sharing on my Nokia 920 to connect my 8.1 tablets (and notebook) to the internet. Very workable solution for me.

I ended up buying a Dell Venue 8 Pro 64gb.
I really like it so far. Badass having a full Win8.1 machine in that size and cost.
I'll have to tether to my phone.
