Other variants are also seeing up to $300 discounts, but it places the pricing beyond $1,000. For instance, you can grab the Surface Laptop 2 in black, with 8GB of RAM and an Intel Core i7 Processor and 258GB of storage for $1,300 instead of the usual $1,600. If you’re after a more colorful version, you’ll also find the Burgandy Surface Laptop 2 with 8GB RAM an Intel Core i5 processor and 256GB of storage for $1,000.
