Why You Can Trust CNET Save up to $500 on Microsoft Surface laptops and tablets
Save big on the Surface Book 2, Surface Laptop 2 and Surface Pro 6.
Microsoft is offering three of its Surface devices at discounts right now that can save you up to $500 on the Surface Book 2 , $300 on the Surface Laptop 2 and $200 on the Surface Pro 6 . What's the catch? Well, Microsoft has already confirmed that it's having an event on Oct. 2. Last year, Microsoft updated a number of its Surface PCs, including some of those products above, and the company introduced the Surface Headphones. Will history repeat itself, giving us new Surface products for 2019? We'll find out soon.
That said: so what? These are nice discounts on pretty great Windows machines. If you're in the market for a Windows laptop, tablet or two-in-one hybrid, there's a lot to like here.
