We've gathered all the best Surface Pro deals available so you can pay the lowest price for one of Microsoft's premium 2-in-1 devices. These laptop and tablet hybrids can cost around $1,000 / £1,000 / AU$1,000 or more for the latest models, but you can pick one up for a lot less in special sales events.

Remember that many devices do not include the handy Surface Pro keyboard cover, even if retailer sites may misleadingly show it in product images. Look out for bundles that offer the best value for money. However, you can always pick up the keyboard and cover hybrid separately.

It's also worth pointing out that the new Surface Pro is now available. We came away seriously impressed by the latest device in our Microsoft Surface Pro 11 review, calling it the best Surface device ever, thanks to the power of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X chip, and intriguing Copilot Plus features. It could be worth paying extra for one of these new devices, or those after a bargain should find some record-low prices for the previous Surface Pro 9 and Surface Pro 8.

Perhaps we'll see some offers during this year's Christmas sales in the US and Boxing Day sales in the UK over the coming weeks.

What if you decide the Surface Pro isn't for you? Well, you can also browse the latest tablet deals and laptop deals available now for several more affordable options, including cheap Chromebooks and similar 2-in-1 devices. We've also got today's best MacBook deals if you want to compare the Surface Pro to the range of premium laptops from Apple.

Where to find more Surface Pro deals

If the Surface Pro deals above aren't quite hitting your pricing sweet spot, you can always check with retailers directly. Below you'll find all the stores we've spotted offering up Surface Pro deals over the last few years.

US:

  • Microsoft: regularly offers Surface Pro bundle deals
  • Best Buy: also offers frequent Surface Pro bundle deals
  • Amazon: better for straight price cuts and renewed items than bundles
  • Walmart: Low prices but bundles don't offer as much value
  • Newegg: good price cuts and also stocks older models
  • B&H Photo: better for high-spec configurations
  • Adorama: regular Surface Pro sales but prices aren't as good as Best Buy

Which is the best Surface Pro to buy?

The Surface Pro 9 is now available and is the go-to choice if you want to shop for the latest device. This top-of-the-line tablet-laptop hybrid is an excellent iteration in the Surface Pro range from Microsoft.

You can also consider the Surface Pro 8 as a very similar alternative as there are sometimes better savings on this slightly older model. We'd usually suggest avoiding the Surface Pro 7 as it's much older and the Surface Pro 6 has been discontinued. Plus, it's usually worth spending the extra cash to get the latest tech and more powerful components that are often lacking in these older models.

Sometimes there's a discount on a previous generation machine with solid specs, such as the Surface Pro 7+ with a Type Cover Keyboard included for free, but these are less frequent these days. Instead, we'd suggest keeping an eye out for similar offers on the Surface Pro 8 or 9 instead as both are excellent devices for the money.

Either way, we’ve tracked down all the best Surface Pro deals on all the devices available to buy today across multiple generations and models so you get the most for your money.

Is the Surface Pro worth the price?

If you're looking for a Windows tablet then the Surface Pro is really your only option outside of 2-in-1 convertible laptops. That means the price of a Surface Pro is typically higher than that of a laptop running the same specs, but you do get the full functionality of a tablet device at the same time.

That means a Surface Pro also has laptop-level specs that are arguably better than devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 or one of the best iPads. However, in recent years these tablets have added more power and functionality to work admirably as more dedicated workstations for around the same cost.

The Surface Pro does run the Windows OS, though, so you may find it's worth paying a little more for the luxury and flexibility of both a tablet design and a laptop level of performance.
