I just purchased one and AT&T is running a special where you get the Microsoft Wedge bluetooth keyboard free with the purchase, plus another $100 off if you by a Windows 8 Smart phone when you by the tablet. No case is included and no stylus, but you can always ask a manager to include some free accessories. They often will or if they say no, nothing lost.

@techguy it looks more like a joke because…the comparable iPad comes with a Stylus Pen and a Bluetooth Keyboard?

No keyboard, no s-pen – it looks more like a joke

unfortunately not – that puts my probability of getting one to ZERO.

I don’t believe it comes with the keyboard. :(

I believe so; the Stylus isn’t an optional add-on that I know of.

Does the ATT version come with the S-pen stylus?

The “comparable” 64gb iPad on LTE is $829. The price of the Ativ Smart PC seems to be in-line with the market leader.

Terrible pricing, just an obvious money grab. I purchased this same EXACT tablet from Staples a week ago for $599 and ATT wants $200 more just for the cellular?!? I was assuming for that price it would bring the keyboard (which mine did not) but sounds like it doesn’t.

BTW It’s an incredibly awesome Tablet. I was going to return it and get the ATT one, but now I might as well save the $200 and the $10/month and just tether it to my phone whenever I need the internet.

It’s a shame, the Windows devices are quite awesome but Microsoft is being hamstrung in every single direction (including by themselves).
