Limited-Time Best Buy Sale Slashes Microsoft Surface Prices by Up to $300

Deal of the day: Upgrade to one of the latest Surface devices with these sales.

Microsoft makes plenty of Windows laptops for those wanting to keep everything in one ecosystem. And right now, Best Buy is giving you the opportunity to save as much as $300 on one of Microsoft’s latest Surface laptops or tablets with discounts across a variety of configurations for a limited time. Both the Surface Laptop 5 and Surface Pro 9 are on sale right now with prices starting at $850.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 5: From $850 (save up to $300)

Nab the latest model in the Surface Laptop lineup at a huge discount. Both 13.5 and 15-inch models are on sale with various configurations to choose from.

Microsoft Surface Pro 9: From $940 (save up to $300)

Microsoft’s newest tablet is seeing its price slashed by as much as $300 for a limited time. You can save on both Wi-Fi-only and 5G-equipped models.

In our Surface Laptop 5 review, CNET’s Lori Grunin found the machine to be a solid, if unremarkable, laptop for most folks. It provides a decent option for those not needing to spend over the odds on a flashy or super-powerful machine, while being able to handle all of the day-to-day computing needs of an average PC user.

The models on sale include both 13.5- and 15-inch variants to suit your size preference, as well as a mix of internal specifications. Cheaper models sport an Intel i5 processor, with better i7 processors available for a little more cash. RAM starts at 8GB and can be configured as high as 32GB on the larger model, with solid-state storage ranging from 256GB to 1TB.

If you’d prefer a tablet device (with optional keyboard), the Surface Pro 9 is the model for you. It’s the latest model in Microsoft’s lineup and comes equipped with a 12th-gen Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, up to 32GB of RAM and as much as 1TB in solid-state storage. Or you can go for a 5G-enabled model that swaps out the Intel processor for Microsoft’s own SQ3 chip for increased battery performance and on-the-go connectivity. All Surface Pro 9 configurations feature a vibrant 13-inch, 2,880×1,920-pixel touchscreen display.
