Two months ago at Mobile World Congress (MWC), Samsung revealed the Samsung Galaxy Book running Windows 10. The Surface-like device was exhibiting Windows 10 as a 2-in-1 with support for S Pen. Yet, we still knew little about the device in full. Today, Samsung’s press release has brought much of the details to light.

As Neowin reports, the Samsung Galaxy Book with Windows 10 will be available in two sizes: 12-inch and 10.6-inch. Here are the specifications:

The smaller of the two will be starting at $629.99. What really sets the 12-inch model apart is the availability as an LTE device. The added capability to connect to wireless networks places it slightly more expensive at $1,299.99 whereas the Wi-Fi model will be sold for $1,129.99.

Galaxy Book LTE will officially be available at Verizon Wireless locations starting April 21. Similarly, the Wi-Fi version will begin pre-orders the same day with a global release on May 21.
