Microsft Surface Go and Surface Pro 6 get Labor Day price cuts today

By

Microsoft has been making Windows software for decades, but unlike Apple, it took awhile for this company to cut its teeth on making hardware. Despite achieving nearly total market dominance in the world of computer operating systems, Microsoft didn’t try its hand at making actual PCs until relatively recently (even after achieving considerable success with its Xbox gaming consoles).

The wait definitely paid off: The Windows-powered Surface tablets and 2-in-1s have proven to be excellent machines, giving other long-standing PC makers like HP and Dell a serious run for their money. A couple of these featherweight Windows laptops are on sale right now ahead of Labor Day sales, so if you’ve been thinking about picking up a Microsoft Surface device for work, school, or just everyday use, then now’s a fine time.

Microsoft Surface Pro 6

Surface Pro 6 Review
Dan Baker/Digital Trends

The Microsoft Surface Pro 6 isn’t just the best Surface device, it’s also the best 2-in-1 we’ve ever used when paired with the Surface Type Cover keyboard. The Surface Pro 6 rivals other top hybrid laptops like the Dell XPS 13 and HP Spectre x360 13 thanks to its gorgeous touchscreen display, superb construction quality, and all-day battery life.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 6 offers great performance, too, with its modern PC hardware that includes an Intel Core i5 CPU instead of the under-powered mobile processors you typically see on tablets and tablet-like devices like this. If you’re after the best 2-in-1 on the market, this is the one, and Amazon has it on sale right now for $699 after a $200 discount. Note that you’ll have to buy the Surface Type Cover keyboard separately, but you can grab the Surface Pro 6 and Type Cover bundle for about $90 more.

Microsoft Surface Go

Microsoft Surface Go Review
Rich Shibley/Digital Trends

The Microsoft Surface Go is the more budget-minded member of the Surface family, offering a fine moderately priced alternative to premium models like the Surface Pro 6 for those who want a more basic (and more affordable) machine for general daily use. Although it runs on pared-down hardware, the Surface Go still offers the excellent build quality, vibrant 10-inch 1200p touchscreen display, and great overall design as its more expensive siblings.

The Microsoft Surface Go rings in at just over half the price of the flagship-tier Surface Pro 6, and Amazon has it on sale right now for less than $400. You’ll have to grab the Surface Go Type Cover separately (a $75 add-on that’s well worth it), but a $96 discount brings the Surface Go table itself down to just $386 right now for a short time.

Get up to $300 off these gorgeous air purifiers in the Molekule Labor Day sale
Molekule Air Mini+ air purifier on kitchen counter

This content was produced in partnership with Molekule.
Air purifiers will keep the indoor air quality inside your home or apartment healthy, but also will help remove odors from pets and break down other pollutants like bacteria, viruses, mold, and allergens. But while they are an excellent addition to any household, they're not typically adorned with stylish designs to match modern decor. More specifically, they can be an eyesore. That's not the case with Molekule's quaint yet effective air purifiers. Here's the best part, though. As part of the Molekule Labor Day sale, you can save $300 on the Air Pro and $75 on the Air Mini+, the brand's two most popular devices. These are intelligent air purifiers with app controls that employ PECO-HEPA filtration.

As you may know, true HEPA filters remove 99.97% of particles and pollutants, even at a microscopic level. But Molekule's PECO technology destroys what HEPA leaves behind, providing three layers of protection through light-activated treatments and more. The PECO tech eliminates organic pollutants and works alongside a carbon layer to remove extra odors and gases. In other words, the Air Pro or Air Mini+ will leave your house smelling fresh and your lungs feeling fresh, especially if you suffer from asthma or allergies. Those Labor Day deals will only be available until September 4th, so don't waste time if you're interested.

Surface Pen -- $75, was $100

If you're grabbing a Surface laptop, then the Surface Pen is one of the best Surface Pro accessories to grab. While Microsoft chooses to sell it separately, it's such a core experience of the Surface Pro that it's impossible to go without it. It has over 4,096 pressure points so that you can use both soft and heavy touches in a wide spectrum, and it has a minuscule amount of lag, so what you do shows up nearly immediately. It even has an eraser on the other end to make it feel like a real pencil, a nice added feature.

The 5 best laptop deals in Best Buy’s rival October Prime Day sale
The Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition will be available between late November and early December for $1,000.

Amazon brought back Prime Day deals for another round this year with its Amazon Prime Early Access Sale, also known as the October Prime Day, so retailers like Best Buy have launched their own discounts in response. The Best Buy Prime Day sale includes significant price cuts on a wide range of laptops, and since there are just too many to choose from, we've gathered the five best laptop deals right here to help you narrow down your options.
Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook -- $139, was $189

For shoppers on a tight budget, you should check out Prime Day Chromebook deals like Best Buy's special price for the Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook. Compared to traditional Windows-based laptops, Chromebooks are usually cheaper because they use low-end components, but without sacrificing performance because Google's Chrome OS depends on web-based apps instead of installed software. The Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook features the Intel Celeron N4020 processor, 4GB of RAM, integrated Intel UHD Graphics 600, and an 11.6-inch HD touchscreen. It's also a 2-in-1 laptop, capable of switching forms through its 360-degree hinge.
