Microsft Surface Go and Surface Pro 6 get Labor Day price cuts today

By

Microsoft has been making Windows software for decades, but unlike Apple, it took awhile for this company to cut its teeth on making hardware. Despite achieving nearly total market dominance in the world of computer operating systems, Microsoft didn’t try its hand at making actual PCs until relatively recently (even after achieving considerable success with its Xbox gaming consoles).

The wait definitely paid off: The Windows-powered Surface tablets and 2-in-1s have proven to be excellent machines, giving other long-standing PC makers like HP and Dell a serious run for their money. A couple of these featherweight Windows laptops are on sale right now ahead of Labor Day sales, so if you’ve been thinking about picking up a Microsoft Surface device for work, school, or just everyday use, then now’s a fine time.

Microsoft Surface Pro 6

Surface Pro 6 Review
Dan Baker/Digital Trends

The Microsoft Surface Pro 6 isn’t just the best Surface device, it’s also the best 2-in-1 we’ve ever used when paired with the Surface Type Cover keyboard. The Surface Pro 6 rivals other top hybrid laptops like the Dell XPS 13 and HP Spectre x360 13 thanks to its gorgeous touchscreen display, superb construction quality, and all-day battery life.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 6 offers great performance, too, with its modern PC hardware that includes an Intel Core i5 CPU instead of the under-powered mobile processors you typically see on tablets and tablet-like devices like this. If you’re after the best 2-in-1 on the market, this is the one, and Amazon has it on sale right now for $699 after a $200 discount. Note that you’ll have to buy the Surface Type Cover keyboard separately, but you can grab the Surface Pro 6 and Type Cover bundle for about $90 more.

Microsoft Surface Go

Microsoft Surface Go Review
Rich Shibley/Digital Trends

The Microsoft Surface Go is the more budget-minded member of the Surface family, offering a fine moderately priced alternative to premium models like the Surface Pro 6 for those who want a more basic (and more affordable) machine for general daily use. Although it runs on pared-down hardware, the Surface Go still offers the excellent build quality, vibrant 10-inch 1200p touchscreen display, and great overall design as its more expensive siblings.

The Microsoft Surface Go rings in at just over half the price of the flagship-tier Surface Pro 6, and Amazon has it on sale right now for less than $400. You’ll have to grab the

separately (a $75 add-on that’s well worth it), but a $96 discount brings the Surface Go table itself down to just $386 right now for a short time.

Nearly every GoPro model is on sale at Best Buy today

For adventure lovers on the hunt for GoPro deals, you should check out the discounts that are currently available from Best Buy. The two latest models of the action camera, the GoPro Hero 12 Black and the GoPro Hero 11 Black, are on sale with $100 discounts, and there are also bargains for bundles. We're not sure how much time is remaining before these lowered prices return to normal though, so if you want to enjoy savings when buying either of these action cameras, you're going to have to proceed with your purchase as soon as you can.

What to buy in Best Buy's GoPro sale
The most affordable option in Best Buy's GoPro sale is the GoPro Hero 11 Black, which you can get for instead of $350 for savings of $100. The previous-generation model of the action camera remains a worthwhile purchase because it can take video with up to 5.3K resolution at 60 frames per second and 27.0MP photos, and it features HyperSmooth 5.0 video stabilization and dual screens with touch controls. However, for just a few more dollars, you can buy the newest model, the GoPro Hero 12 Black. The 12 has a much longer battery life, a new 9:16 vertical capture mode, improved dynamic range, and a 1/4-20 mounting thread for wider compatibility with camera tripods. From its sticker price of $400, it's with the same $100 discount.

Today only! AirPods are back to their Prime Day price
The Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe in their case.

Shoppers who are looking for true wireless earbuds deals, especially those who are already deep in the Apple ecosystem, should go for the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe. They're currently back at their Prime Day price from Best Buy after a $70 discount, bringing them down to $180 from $250, but there's not much time left before this offer expires. You better hurry with your purchase if you want to take advantage of the savings, as once the bargain is gone, we're not sure when you'll get another chance.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe
It's no surprise that the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe, a mid-cycle refresh of the Apple AirPods Pro 2, are our recommendation for Apple fans in our roundup of the best true wireless earbuds. With their charging case moving away from Apple's lightning port to the USB-C port, you'll get wider compatibility, and the USB-C to USB-C cable that's included in the package is braided instead of rubberized for added durability. The updated version of the AirPods Pro 2 also adds IP54 protection for dust resistance, while iOS 17 adds Personalized Volume that makes adjustments depending on the noise level of your surroundings, Conversation Awareness that lowers their volume when you start speaking, and Adaptive Noise Control that blocks certain noise while letting in sounds that you want to hear.

Some laptop deals come around often, but we haven't seen the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 on sale for a while now. That’s changed today with Walmart discounting it by $400. Usually costing $1,600, it’s down to $1,200 for what we’re guessing is going to be a very limited time. The laptop looks great while packing some excellent hardware. Here’s everything you need to know before you tap the buy button, but bear in mind that you likely to need to be quick to snag that awesome discount.
