Expensive tech like computers and tablets are always the fastest-selling items during annual holiday sales, and this year, that includes some fantastic Cyber Week Microsoft Surface deals. If you’re after what are easily the best Windows tablets and 2-in-1 laptops that money can buy in 2020, then read on: We’ve got everything you need to score a last-minute discount on a Surface device, along with a short buying guide to help you find the perfect one, right here.
Don’t limit your Cyber Week bargain hunt only to Microsoft Surface deals, though. There are also plenty of still-ongoing Cyber Week laptop deals and Cyber Week tablet deals on tap from the major online retailers. But act fast — delivery is taking longer than usual this year and Cyber Week will be over soon, so don’t piddle around and miss out on what could be your last chance to save big on a Surface device before 2021.
Some of the hottest bargains we’ve seen today have been this Surface Laptop 3 deal and a Surface Pro 7 deal. Find more discounts below:
With everything from featherweight ultrabook laptops to tablets and 2-in-1s, the Microsoft Surface lineup has something for pretty much everybody. When choosing the Surface device that’s right for you, a good first step is to decide what type of computer you want. Do you need a more traditional laptop, a Windows tablet, or a 2-in-1 convertible that can pull double duty as both?
The star of the Surface stable is the Surface Pro line, which happens to feature our favorite Surface devices. In fact, when paired with a Type Cover Keyboard, the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is actually our top pick for the best 2-in-1 laptop right now (and now is the best time to buy), with the Surface Pro 7 comparing favorably to Apple’s MacBook Pro. The Pro 7 also beats out more traditional 2-in-1 models — if you can call these convertible laptops “traditional” — like the Dell XPS. There’s also the Microsoft Surface Go 2 to consider, and the 12-inch Surface Pro 7 and sleeker (but slightly less powerful) 13-inch Surface Pro X (which you can compare to the Surface Pro 7). These are easy to recommend to most people due to their versatility; you can use them as a standalone tablet or a laptop, although one of our recurring complaints is that the Type Cover Keyboard has to be purchased separately. You’ll also want to pick up a Surface Pro case or cover to keep your laptop safe. However, extended Cyber Week Microsoft Surface deals are a great chance to score both in a bundle and save.
If you want something a bit cheaper, then the 10-inch Surface Go is a solid Windows tablet if iPads aren’t your thing. It’s definitely built more like a tablet than a 2-in-1 (even if it can be used with its own Type Cover Keyboard), so temper your expectations when it comes to hardware performance. On the laptop side of the spectrum sits the Microsoft Surface Laptop, which boasts a more traditional design, and the cutting-edge Microsoft Surface Book 2-in-1. These are legitimate laptops that come with either 13- or 15-inch screens, and the Surface Book is unique among 2-in-1s in that the display, rather than folding backward on a 360-degree hinge, can be completely separated from the keyboard for use as a tablet.

The Microsoft Surface laptops are typically more expensive than the Surface Pro tablets, which is something to bear in mind if you’re on the fence about whether you need a more standard computer keyboard. For most users, something like the Surface Pro 7 paired with a Type Cover might be a better (and more budget-friendly) option, but the new 12-inch Surface Laptop Go is a viable choice if you’re on a budget but want a laptop that threads the needle between the pricier Surface laptops and more affordable Surface tablets. If you’re using an older generation device you might consider upgrading too — so take a look at our comparison of the Surface Pro 6 vs. Surface Pro 5 to learn more. Whatever your needs are, though, these extended Cyber Week Microsoft Surface sales are your surest way to save on one before 2021.
With so many retailers expanding their online shopping inventory and boasting about their great prices, it can be difficult to know when the best time to buy is. If you’ve been thinking about buying a Microsoft Surface but you want to make sure you’re getting the best price, then good news — these Cyber Week Microsoft Surface deals offer the best prices you’ll see on these items all year. So buy now and enjoy your new laptop or tablet just in time for the holidays.
Microsoft’s Surface line is positioned as a premium brand to rival Apple’s MacBook line and Dell’s XPS laptops. As such, Surface devices command a premium price tag — but that doesn’t mean you can’t find some excellent Cyber Week deals and other holiday bargains. A lot of the price differences between the various Surface models come down to whether you want a dedicated laptop or a 2-in-1 device that doubles as a tablet. The Surface Laptop range often (but not always) works out more expensive, due in part to the larger screens they offer. If you want a big screen to work on, you might have to pay upwards of $1,000 to do so. Still, the good news is that if you are looking for a device that works as both a tablet and a laptop, the smaller screens of the Surface Pro and the Surface Go can save you a lot of cash.
It is also worth checking deals on older Surface models. Going back a couple of generations can net you some serious savings, and you could pay in the range of $600 to $800 for a device that is still very capable for most people.
Cyber Week is a tempting time to pick up a shiny new Microsoft Surface, and there are still a lot of excellent deals available at the moment. But before you pull the trigger, there are a few things that you need to be aware of. The first is that not every deal is as good as it may seem. Retailers often use these shopping events as a chance to offload old stock, so a steep discount on a product does not always mean you should buy it — it may be an outdated device that won’t meet your needs. Make sure you read reviews and check specs before you head to the checkout.
The second thing to look out for are high-pressure tactics some retailers use to rush you into a purchase. You might see things like countdown timers and warnings that other shoppers are about to buy the device you are looking at. Don’t be taken in by them — if a product or deal is not right for you, it doesn’t matter how many other people are looking at it. Take your time to find the perfect deal (this page will help!) and the savings will feel even sweeter.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
