Memorial Day is just around the corner, and some of the biggest e-tailers are already putting their best tech products on sale. Microsoft's flagship devices are on sale at Black Friday-like discounts.
Best Buy is running a special limited-time promotion and selling select Microsoft Surface devices; the Surface Laptop 3 is currently on sale for up to $400 off (depending on specs). And if that's not enough, Best Buy is also offering up to $360 off Surface Pro models.
Both Surface devices are ideal for work, study, or simply entertainment. The Surface Pro 7, for example, is a great choice for those looking for a high-performance 2-in-1 tablet without resorting to out-of-this-world prices.
The device packs a punch with its 12.3-inch (2,736 x 1,824) PixelSense touchscreen display, 10th-generation Intel Core i3 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of SSD storage. And with Windows 10 pre-installed, your new Surface Pro 7 is ready to go when you receive it.
As noted in our Surface Pro 7 review, we enjoyed its bright, colorful display, USB-C compatible charging, and nimble overall performance. the Surface Pro 7 can be used for general web surfing and simple tasks for roughly 7 hours of charging. For longer periods of use or for battery-intensive tasks such as design work or video editing, it is a good idea to keep a charger on hand.
As for the Surface Laptop 3, there is no shortage of performance in this device; in our review of the Surface Laptop 3, we gave this laptop our Editor's Choice Award, and it's easy to see why. We were impressed by its sleek and attractive design, adequate battery life, and comfortable typing experience. And while it doesn't include a Thunderbolt 3 port, this can easily be overlooked, as the Surface Laptop 3 is faster and more powerful than other flagship work-from-home (WFH) laptops.
All of the above models have slightly different specs, including Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 Surface Edition CPUs, 16GB of RAM, 1TB/512GB/256GB SSD storage, and bright touchscreen displays, all are housed in a beautiful 13.5" or 15" enclosure.
According to our earlier tests, the Surface Laptop 3 can last about 9.5 hours when performing simple administrative tasks and surfing the web, which is enough to get you through a day. It also weighs in at just 3.4 pounds, making it ideal for on-the-go work.
