The Surface Pro being discounted by up to $300 from Microsoft Store and Amazon

Just after Best Buy attempted to clear store shelves in a 24-hour flash sale to make way for new Mac devices, Microsoft is now shaving $200 off its latest Surface Pro in its Spring Sale. But don’t get too excited just yet: Out of the seven configurations Microsoft serves up on its store, only two get a price cut. Act quick and you can get the model with a Core i5 processor, 128GB of storage, and 4GB of system memory for the same price as the typically cheaper Core m3 model.

Here are the two configurations discounted in Microsoft’s Spring Sale:

 But Amazon is calling Microsoft’s spring bluff and raising it plenty. The online retailer is currently discounting all Surface Pro models except for the Core i5 units with 4G LTE connectivity. Even more, Amazon is undercutting the two models Microsoft currently has on sale by $15 on one unit and $50 on the other. Here’s the list of discounts: 

CPU  Memory  Storage  Original price  Sale price 
Core M 

4GB 

128GB 

$799 

$670

Core i5 

4GB

 Note that the discounted Surface Pros don’t include the Type Cover or Surface Pen. The Type Cover, offered in Burgundy, Cobalt Blue, and Platinum, will set you back another $159 on Microsoft’s store. Meanwhile, the same Type Cover appears to sell for a cheaper $104 for the Burgundy version on Amazon, $112 for the Cobalt Blue edition, and $113 for the Platinum model. 

As for the Surface Pen, that’s another $99 if you go through Microsoft, sold in Platinum, Burgundy, Black, and Cobalt Blue colors. The peripheral doesn’t appear to be marked down on Amazon, although you can find plenty of alternatives for a cheaper price. 

The latest Surface Pro models are technically fifth-generation units although Microsoft decided not to label the detachables as “Surface Pro 5.” Launched in June 2017, they’re based on Intel’s seventh-generation processors. The current sales may be to move product off store shelves to make room for sixth-generation models (sixth-gen Surface Pro) possibly arriving later this year.

The Surface Pro could finally live up to its potential this year
The back of the Surface Pro 9, with the kickstand pulled out.

The Surface Pro hasn't changed much over the years. The design has been tweaked slightly from generation to generation, but the central premise has remained. Its strengths have been bolstered, but its weaknesses have stayed around, too.

This year, however, the Surface Pro 10 is reportedly coming out. And unlike previous versions of the Surface Pro, this one might finally reinvent this device into something that profoundly fulfills the promise of what it always could be.

Microsoft Surface Pro 7

The Surface Laptop Go 3 is Microsoft's new affordable Surface laptop, with upgraded hardware and long battery life making it a compelling option for budget laptop buyers in 2023. But for anyone considering an upgrade to a Surface device at around that $800 price, the Surface Pro 7+ still presents an attractive purchase, and it can flip into a tablet when you need it.

That brings to mind the age-old question, of whether newer is automatically better. In this case, it might not be. Let's take a look at the Surface Laptop Go 3 versus Surface Pro 7+, to find out.
