My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Microsoft Surface Pro
The Microsoft Surface Pro 11 is a tablet-laptop hybrid that came out last summer and quickly became one of the best laptops for students even in 2025. It’s sleek, has a long battery life, and is comfortable and easy to use. use as a tablet makes it convenient for practical use. You can get it for $879.99 (originally $1,199.99), which is $3 off the lowest price it’s ever been since its 2024 release, according to price trackers .
Last year, Microsoft introduced a new line of Surface computers, part of the Copilot+ PC line with Windows AI , which Microsoft claims are faster than the new MacBook M3 . It is powered by the Snapdragon X Elite and Plus chip and has all the benefits of Copilot+ for PC. Here’s how senior tech editor Jake Peterson described the Surface Pro :
If you’re looking for a machine with a detachable tablet, it’s the Surface Pro. The latest Surface 2-in-1 comes in an optional configuration with a 13-inch OLED display, an ultra-wide camera, two USB-4 ports, Wi-Fi 7, and support for up to three external 4K displays. Notably, you can actually replace many parts of the Surface Pro, including the motherboard, battery, and cameras. (What year is it?) Finally, the new Surface Flex Keyboard actually works offline, so you don’t have to physically connect it to your display to type.
Lifehacker tech writer David Neild got his hands on one of these Surface Pro 11s and called it a “nearly perfect tablet-laptop hybrid” in his review .
I’ve been a loyal Surface Pro tablet purchaser for many years and can attest to their convenience, reliability, and performance. I love being able to use my hands when needed and turn it into a tablet when I use the stylus to take notes, sign documents, or just draw. You will get a 13-inch LCD touchscreen display, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Keep in mind that you will still have to buy the keyboard and stylus separately.
