The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is a powerful Windows 11-powered tablet that’s equipped with the 12th-generation Intel Core i5 Evo processor and 8GB of RAM for snappy performance.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 features a 13-inch PixelSense touchscreen with a dynamic refresh rate of up to 120Hz for sharp details and smooth animations, a 256GB SSD for ample storage space, a stylish design that lets it stand out among its peers, and a battery that can last for up to 15.5 hours from a full charge.

If you want a traditional laptop for your Surface purchase, then you should go for the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5. It’s sleek and lightweight so it’s still pretty easy to carry around with you, and once you open the laptop, its 13.5-inch PixelSense touchscreen is always ready to amaze. Inside the device are the 12th-generation Intel Core i5 Evo processor, integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics, and 8GB of RAM, which makes it capable of handling day-to-day activities. Storage is pretty expansive with its 512GB SSD, so it will be a while before you run out of space for your files, and its battery can last up to 18 hours on a single charge.

For great laptop deals, Best Buy is a familiar place to head, offering deep discounts on cheap models as well as high-end examples with great features. Right now, you can buy the Acer Swift 16 AI for just $850, working out as a saving of $350 on the regular price of $1,200. It sports everything you could want from a laptop to use at work or take to the coffee shop. Let’s take a deeper dive into just how great it is.

Why you should buy the Acer Swift 16 AI
Back when we reviewed the Acer Swift 16 AI, we loved its “thin and light chassis” along with its “beautiful OLED display” and “good productivity performance.” We cited it as “reasonably affordable,” which makes this discount even more appealing. The main issue? A poor battery life at just over four hours when browsing online. That’s thanks to its 16-inch 3K OLED display impacting battery life, but on the plus side, it looks utterly gorgeous. It offers cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 color gamut support, 340 nits of peak brightness, and a response time of just 0.2ms, so it’s perfect for watching movies on the move. Just bear in mind that battery life.
