Nab the Surface Pro 8 for a fraction of its price for a desktop-like experience،

It’s sale season and if you can’t decide which tablet to buy, you should take a look at the Microsoft Surface 8 Pro, as it’s currently selling for almost $500 less than its launch price.

Surface Pro 8 gives you a desktop experience in a portable form factor. While this isn’t Microsoft’s latest Surface Pro model, it offers incredible value at its new reduced price.

Its specs aren’t shabby by any means, and you can trust it to satisfy almost any itch a tablet (or laptop) released this year.

You get a huge 13-inch 120Hz screen and a sturdy kickstand to put it upright for hands-free use. The Surface Pro 8 is powered by the 11th Gen Intel Core i5 quad-core processor and can handle any task without breaking a sweat.

That’s not to say it’s the fastest tablet available. This simply means it has enough raw power for typical use cases and workloads, such as browsing the internet with many tabs open, jumping between multiple apps, messaging on Slack , coding and even simple editing of photos and videos.

It has two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 so you can connect it to an external GPU and transfer data from an external driver. The device has an accessible SSD, so you can manually upgrade the storage, which is not an option available on the iPad.

The Surface Pro 8 runs Windows, which is a better operating system than iPadOS and Android in terms of multitasking and productivity. It can run full-fledged apps, so you won’t have to settle for mobile versions of the apps and programs you need to run.

The Pro 8 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage cost $1,099 at launch and Woot is currently selling an all-new open-box model for $388 off instead of $999. That’s a 39% discount and makes the Surface Pro 8 several hundred dollars cheaper than the latest flagship tablets.

If you want more storage space, Amazon is selling the 256GB variant for $426 off, which is 35% off the usual price of $1,199.99.

You shouldn’t miss the deal if you need a compact Windows PC for reading, entertainment, side hustles, and productivity tasks.
