Microsoft Surface 10.8" Surface 3 Silver 2015
85 out of 100 low confidence 5 reviews
The single verified review describes the refurbished tablet as being in near mint condition and even includes an unlisted LTE modem, exceeding expectations. The Q&A confirms it comes with a charger and is unlocked for 4G LTE, though compatibility with specific US carriers like Verizon is not fully addressed. Overall, the limited feedback is very positive, but the sample size is too small to draw broad conclusions.
