November 3, 2020This Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is more than 25% off in this early Black Friday deal TechRadarWith Thanksgiving right around the corner, the early Black Friday deals are already rolling out, like this one for the Microsoft Surface Pro 7, which you can find over at Best Buy right now for just $699.00  Microsoft Surface Pro 7: $959.00 $699.00 at Best Buy While the Surface Pro 7 isn't the greatest leap forward in design for the popular line of 2-in-1 hybrid laptops from Microsoft, it's price cut down to $699 – with type cover included – makes it much easier to recommend. If you've been looking to pick up the latest Surface Pro device, now's definitely the time.VIEW DEALOur biggest knock against the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 when we reviewed it was that its specs and performance did not match its initial retail price. Now, however, it's price cut makes it much easier to recommend.This Surface Pro 7 comes with the latest Intel Core i3-1035G4 CPU (quad-core, up to 3.7GHz boost), 4GB DDR4 RAM, and a 128GB SSD, so it won't be the fastest 2-in-1 out there, but for general, everyday use, it's more than enough to get you through without a hitch.November 2, 2020Deal Alert: Save big on Surface Pro Signature Type Cover MSPoweruserMicrosoft stopped bundling a Type cover with its Surface Pro devices a long ago, but as you have heard from pretty much every tech expert, Surface Pro without a Type Cover means you’re missing out on the opportunity to use the Surface Pro as a full-fledged laptop. In case you’re someone who’s using the Surface Pro as a tablet, now you have a good opportunity to make your Surface Pro behave like a laptop by purchasing the Surface Pro Signature Type Cover at a discounted price.Microsoft’s Surface Pro Signature Type Cover is now available at $119, down from $159.99 — that’s a straight $40.99 discount if you do the math.Surface Pro Signature Type Cover features Features a full mechanical keyset, backlit keys, and large trackpad for precise navigation and control Slim and compact, yet performs like a traditional, full-size keyboard Clicks in place instantly — use in combination with Surface Pro 7 kickstand for a best-in-class laptop experience anywhere. Luxurious Alcantara material on select covers is soft and smooth, yet durable and stain resistant Close to protect screen and conserve battery, or fold back completely for a take-anywhere tabletOctober 30, 2020Surface Laptop 3 deal drops Microsoft's best ultraportable to $979 Laptop MagThis week, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 is on sale for a stellar price. So if you don't want to wait any longer to buy a new PC, this early Black Friday deal is just for you.For a limited time, Amazon offers the latest Surface Laptop 3  (256GB) for $979. Normally, this laptop retails for $1,299, so that's a whopping $319 off its normal price. It's the second-lowest price we've ever seen for this configuration and also undercuts Best Buy's Black Friday price by $19. This is one of the best Black Friday laptop deals we've seen so far. Microsoft's Surface Laptop 3 is one of the best laptops around. It's also a more affordable alternative to Apple's MacBook Air. However, Microsoft's laptop blows the MacBook Air out of the water when it comes to specs. The Surface Laptop 3 in this deal features a 13.3-inch (2256 x 1504) display, a 1.2-GHz Core i5-1035G7 quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSDIn our Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 review, we praised its elegant premium design and sharp, vivid display. We gave the Surface Laptop 3 an Editor's Choice award for its good performance, decent battery life, and comfortable keyboard. October 28, 2020Microsoft Surface Pro X review: Better battery life for the coolest Surface CNETMicrosoft promises better performance and better battery life from the new SQ2 version, and is also offering an aluminum finish (the original was matte black). In my hands-on testing, there was a small performance boost, although the limitations of Windows-on-Arm means I couldn't run all the regular benchmarks we normally do on other Windows devices. Battery life was also better, at 10 hours, 5 minutes, versus just under 9 hours on the original Surface Pro X. This is the best-looking Surface product by far. The Surface Pro feels clunky compared to this thin design. The Surface Laptop and Surface Laptop Go are slim and attractive, but nothing special. The Surface Book is a bulky and awkward. The Pro X, on the other hand, offers a big screen and slim body. The keyboard and stylus are great, but there's a catch. Like every Surface tablet, the clip-on keyboard is best-in-class. And I love that the flat stylus both hides inside the keyboard cover, and also recharges in its dock. But, like the Surface Pro and Surface Go, neither is included in the purchase price.October 26, 2020Deal Alert: Surface Book 3 is now selling at a discounted price MSPoweruserBack in May, Microsoft announced the new Surface Book 3, the most powerful device in the Surface lineup. While Book 3 might not be the best in terms of raw power, its uniqueness, and the fact that you can turn into a tablet on-demand are some of the features that make Microsoft’s third-Gen Surface Book an attractive choice. And if you’re considering buying the Book 3, you might want to purchase it right now as Amazon is offering a $271 discount on the productThe Surface Book 3(10th Gen Intel Core i5 – 8GB Memory – 256GB SSD) is now available at $1,384, down from its original price of $1,599.99 — that’s a straight $215 discount if you do the math.The design of the Surface Book 3 remains the same, however, Microsoft has upgraded the internals to offer better performance. Thanks to the 10th gen Intel Core processors, the Book 3 delivers 50% better performance than the Surface Book 2. On the GPU front, you can now select between NVIDIA GeForce GTX or Quadro RTX GPUs. Despite the improved performance, Microsoft claims that Surface Book 3 will offer up to 17.5 hours of battery life. Also, the third-Gen Surface Book now comes with up to 32GB of RAM and the fastest SSD Microsoft has ever shipped.You can buy Surface Book 3 at a discounted price here from Amazon.October 23, 2020Decoding the Microsoft Surface Lineup: Which One Is Right for You? PCMag.comWhether you need a laptop, a tablet, an all-in-one desktop, or even a smartphone, Microsoft has you covered. The company that became a household name via its Windows operating system has been selling actual hardware devices under the Surface brand for many years. The current Surface lineup includes some standout PCMag Editors’ Choice winners, as well as some niche products that most buyers won't want to consider.Whether you’ve owned many Surface devices in the past or you’re contemplating your first one, the current Surface lineup can be a bit confusing, and it employs a bit of its own lingo. The word "Go," for instance, translates to "smaller" and "less expensive" in Surface parlance, and it applies across multiple product categories. And the word "Pro" actually refers to one of the original and most mainstream of Surface devices that Microsoft pioneered more than a decade ago: Windows-powered tablets with optional detachable keyboards. We've gathered every current Surface device in one place to help you decide which, if any, is the right one for you.Surface Studio: Microsoft's Sleek All-in-One DesktopThe sole desktop PC in the Surface lineup is the all-in-one Surface Studio. Now in its second generation, it’s a beautiful, pricey desktop for artists, content creators, and professionals who need a large touch screen.TabletPc2.com Editors note: The Surface Studio is the Surface I dream of owning.The Surface Tablets: The Original 2-in-1 DetachablesMost people think of Windows as an operating system for laptops and desktops, but the OS is actually much more versatile. Microsoft created the Surface tablet as a showcase for how Windows can power touch-screen devices without integrated keyboards. And in many cases, it works splendidly.That’s certainly true of the Surface tablet that will attract most mainstream buyers. Now in its seventh generation, the Surface Pro is a frequent Editors’ Choice winner that represents the best of detachable Windows tablets. Like the Apple iPad Pro, the Surface Pro 7 is a sleek 12-inch touch-screen tablet that can be used either by itself or with an optional detachable keyboard, the Surface Type Cover. The Surface Pro’s signature physical feature is an integrated kickstand with a fully adjustable hinge. It allows you to recline the screen through 165 degrees of range, from standing at attention to nearly flat.The Surface Pro 7 is a capable device that can replace both a traditional laptop and an iPad, but you’ll pay handsomely for it—well more than $1,000 for a mid-level spec configuration and a Type Cover. So Microsoft also offers the Surface Go family, which brings most of the Surface Pro features to a smaller, less-expensive form factor. Now in its second generation, the Surface Go 2 is also an Editors’ Choice winner. However, its smaller screen and less-capable Intel processor mean it’s more suited to people who prioritize portability and cost savings, and it's not a true laptop replacement.Microsoft’s third variety of Surface tablet, the Surface Pro X, is the sleekest and most futuristic of them all. It’s essentially the same size and weight as the Surface Pro 7, but with a slightly larger (13-inch) display and a more elegant design. But we don’t recommend the Surface Pro X for two reasons: It employs a nonstandard CPU that suffers from occasional sluggishness and app compatibility issues, and it’s even more expensive than the Surface Pro 7.The Surface Laptop Family: The Classic ClamshellsWhile the Surface Pro 7 can potentially do everything a laptop can, not everyone needs a laptop replacement. So a few years ago, Microsoft decided to add conventional laptops with clamshell-style hinges to the Surface family. Now in its third generation, the Surface Laptop 3 combines elements of the Windows tablet experience (especially the excellent touch-enabled display) and the laptop experience (expertly designed key switches that make for snappy, comfortable typing, and a wide range of processors from Intel and AMD that offer serious computing power).The Surface Laptop 3 is available in either 13-inch or 15-inch screen sizes, and like many of the Surface tablets, it comes in multiple color options.The Surface Book: A Laptop-Tablet HybridA unique member of the Surface family, the Surface Book combines serious computing power with a detachable design that defies categorization as either a laptop or a tablet. Like the Surface Laptop, it's also in its third generation, and the Surface Book 3 is aimed at professional multimedia content creators and on-the-side gamers, with an optional powerful Nvidia graphics processor not available in any other portable Surface. It looks a lot like a Surface Laptop 3, and it’s designed to be used as a laptop most of the time, but it has a mechanically locking hinge that lets you separate its screen from the keyboard base. Like the Surface Laptop 3, the Surface Book 3 comes in 13-inch and 15-inch screen sizes, kitted out with many different internal component configurations. The Surface Book 3 can get quite expensive, however—the configuration we reviewed is nearly $3,000. This category-defying device isn’t for everyone, but it could be an essential tool for those who can afford it and realize its full potential.Asus ZenBook Flip 13 vs Microsoft Surface Book 3: which laptop is right for you? T3Check out the specs, battery life, features and design on the Asus ZenBook Flip 13 vs Microsoft Surface Book 3After years of disparity between full-fat laptops and tablets, the 2-in-1 laptop has grown into a fully-fledged market of its own. Here and now in 2020, two of the biggest manufacturers in either field have delivered two of the best offerings you can buy – but which is the balance for your needs?We’re here to help you work out which is the better buy, be it in terms of cost, performance, form factor, battery life and much more. Both are among the best laptops available in 2020, but we’ll explain everything you need to know.Not everyone is looking for the same requirements in a new laptop, so we’re here to break down the key differences between either model so you can make a selection with full confidence. It’s also important to consider for what tasks or activities you’ll be using your new 2-in-1 laptop, so you can make the best decision based on the information .October 19, 2020Microsoft Documents Confirm Futuristic Surface Plans ForbesIt’s rare that you see a Microsoft Surface device being promoted without its Surface Pen. It’s a key feature that is talked up regularly by the Surface team, and it’s one area that’s ripe for innovation. The latest details show work continues towards a more intelligent Pen.The details come from a patent titled "Stylus for Zero Force Activation and shows a system to improve the Surface Pen s ability to know when to switch to inking mode. Mayank Parmar reports: Microsoft says the stylus still uses a vibrating tip to determine when the contact with a surface occurs. The patented Surface Pen also comes with a capsule that is designed to minimize the motion of the shaft and the shaft runs parallel to the length of the stylus. He continued: The tip has two antennas and one is connected to the shaft using a track made of metal material. There s also a transmitter located in its tip and it can detect the position of the stylus tip, and then quickly switch to inking mode."Allowing the Surface Pen to better understand when to switch modes, to decrease the delay in switching modes and to create a magical experience mixing stylus- and inking-modes is a natural next step for Microsoft to address.As always, a published patent does show the direction a company is taking with hardware development, but it does not guarantee that this technology will be seen on consumer devices. But some patents seem more likely to show up than others. This one feels like something we ll be seeing in the near future.October 16, 2020Should I buy the Microsoft Surface Book 3?

With these in place, you can enjoy an impressive number of games on the go, and even pair it up with a stylus (which you’ll likely have to buy separately) when you want to sketch and create striking graphics.Overall, there are a lot of features that will attract you to the Surface Book 3. From performance and clock speeds to the sleek design and swift detachability of its display, this hybrid device really does confidently bridge that gap between tablets and laptops.The Surface Book 3 supports a huge number of creative software applications, so if you’re looking to create on a digital platform, this is the 2-in1 laptop for you.
