Best Surface Laptop and Surface Pro deals: From $520

If you’re a Windows user, then you’re probably familiar with something like the Dell XPS lineup of thin and light laptops, and while they’re great, they may not be for you. Well, one great alternative is Microsoft’s lineup of Surface Laptops, which are pretty much the same concept as the Dell XPS and the MacBook Air when it comes to thin-and light laptops. Unfortunately, most of the currently available Surface laptops are a bit older as we’re waiting for the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6, but there are still some good options out there, including refurbished ones.

We’ve collected some of our favorite deals below, but if you’re still looking for something a bit different, check out these laptop deals and 2-in-1 laptop deals, and maybe even these MacBook deals

The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is a powerful device made for working professionals and content creators, thought it’s something that can be put to good use by anyone. It’s been the flagship of the Surface lineup since is launch, and it remains the newest Surface Pro model in the lineup. It has a lot in common with its predecessor, the Microsoft Surface Pro 8, but manages to improve upon many of the things people loved about the previous generation. The Surface Pro 9 packs impressive performance capabilities without sacrificing portability, and the 13-inch PixelSense Flow touchscreen has a refresh rate of 120Hz. This makes it a great device to play games on, but an even better choice for content creators.

If you're looking for a thin and light laptop that isn't a MacBook Air, then you may want to consider Dell's XPS lineup. It's just recently been renewed with a new size and new configurations, and while we did lose the 17-inch version, you can still get them starting at 13 inches and going all the way up to 16 inches. On top of that, these are pretty powerful, as you'd expect from one of the best laptop brands on the market, and some configurations even have powerful GPUs like the RTX 4070.

Of course, given that these are pricey machines, going for a deal is probably the way to go, which is why we've collected some of our favorite deals below.
