This is by far the best Microsoft Surface Pro 8 deal available before Christmas

There’s basically only one Surface-branded tablet that was yet to make headlines with a cool deal or substantial discount before or shortly after Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2021, and unsurprisingly, that just so happened to be Microsoft’s newest 2-in-1 Windows powerhouse.

Of course, the Windows 11 tablet itself is not three Benjamins cheaper than usual, instead fetching $999 in combination with a handy Surface Pro Type Cover and an extended 1-year warranty provided by CPS.

That’s down from a regular combined price of $1,299.99, easily beating any and all other Surface Pro 8 holiday deals available elsewhere at the time of this writing. That obviously includes Microsoft’s own US e-store, where $999.99 buys you the Intel Core i5-powered tablet and nothing else.

The two USB-C ports, good old fashioned headphone jack, 10MP rear-facing camera, 5MP front shooter, Wi-Fi 6 support, 2W stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos technology, and of course, the built-in kickstand all bring their own little contribution to a value proposition that arguably eclipses what Apple’s latest iPad Pros can offer at a comparable price.
