The LTE version of Google’s (GOOG) touch-enabled Chromebook Pixel computer has been unavailable since it was announced in February.

Both models feature a 12.85-inch touch-enabled display with a class-leading 2560 x 1700 pixel resolution, a 1.8GHz Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, integrated HD Graphics 4000, a microSD slot and two USB ports. The LTE-equipped Chromebook Pixel also comes with 100MB of free data per month for two years.
