Surface Pro 6 Review — Dan Baker/Digital Trends

There were some excellent deals on Surface Pro 6 bundles for both Cyber Monday and Black Friday, but if you missed out, you now have another chance to save. Right now you can get the latest Microsoft 2-in-1 for as little as $800 at the Microsoft Store and also save on the black version of the device at Best Buy.

The fresh one-day sale at the Microsoft Store restores Black Friday bundle prices and cuts down total costs by as much as $330. You can get a Platinum Type Cover bundle with the Intel Core i5 Surface Pro 6 with a 128GB solid-state drive and 8GB RAM for $800 instead of $1,059, adding up to a $260 savings. If you’re after more storage, you also can grab the Platinum Type Cover bundle with the Intel Core i5 Surface Pro 6 with a 256GB SSD and 8GB RAM for $1,000 instead of $1,329. Keep in mind, the Surface Pen is still a separate purchase in both instances.

If you’re not interested in bundling, prices on the standard Surface Pro 6 without the Type Cover included have dropped by up to $200. That includes a $1,000 price on the platinum or black Surface Pro 6 with an Intel Core i5 Processor, 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM. Other higher-end configurations are also included in the sale, such as the model with an Intel Core i7 Processor, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD, now $1,700 instead of $1,899.

As for the sales at Best Buy, you can bundle and save on the black version of the Surface Pro 6 up until December 7 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Similar to the Microsoft Store, the deal includes a Type Cover keyboard and a Surface Pro 6 with Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD for $1,000 instead of $1,329. The pen is still not included in the price.

If you’re after other Surface devices, Microsoft is still discounting the Surface Laptop 2. You can save up to $300 on certain configurations, bringing starting prices down to $800.

We reviewed the Surface Pro 6 a few months ago and found that it was still the best 2-in-1 in the market.

AI agents are acting like rogues and causing a huge headache for US banks

US banks block AI agents over fears they could make unauthorised financial moves

Banking

US banks are facing a new kind of digital headache: artificial intelligence agents attempting to access customer accounts and perform actions that may go beyond what users intended. As AI tools become more capable of navigating websites and carrying out tasks independently, financial institutions are scrambling to prevent them from crossing security boundaries.

According to a report published by Axios on October 22, major US banks have detected third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts without authorisation. Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.

Canva enters the AI image generation race with Craft, and it’s thinking beyond pretty pictures

The new model plans layouts before generating images, with precise editing and support for 30 aspect ratios.

Canva Craft Featured Image

AI can generate all kinds of pretty pictures, but getting it to spell a headline correctly or keep a poster's layout intact can be another story. Canva wants to fix that with Canva Craft, its first in-house image generation model. Rather than focusing primarily on photographs, Craft is designed around the posters, presentations, social media graphics, and other visual content people actually create. The goal is simple: spend less time fixing AI's mistakes and more time making something useful.

Mori might be the cutest AI companion robot yet, and it reacts to you like a pet

The Pokémon-like companion can blink, dance, act shy, and respond to what is happening around it.

OKA Mori The Nature Companion AI Home Robot

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
