Summer isn’t just the season for beach getaways or backyard cookouts. July is the best time to score massive savings on cool tech like the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 which is currently discounted by 22% on Amazon. For $700, you get the portability and functionality of both a laptop and a tablet in one dynamic device. But if you’re looking for something even less expensive, you can also check out this Samsung Chromebook deal.

The Surface Pro series are great examples of modern, lightweight Windows 10 machines, and are smart alternatives for Apple’s iPad or MacBook Air, as well as Samsung’s Galaxy Tab.

The Surface Pro 6 is currently Microsoft’s crown jewel, as it boasts a sleek and sturdy construction with a 12.3-inch HD touchscreen display. This ultra-slim gadget has three available modes — laptop, tablet, and studio — plus the latest eighth-generation Intel Core i5 processor so you can create your best work anywhere you are.
