It's graduation season and chances are you want to surprise that grad you know with a token of congratulations. If you're on a budget or not sure what to buy your grad, the Microsoft Store offers tons of deals on gift ideas for grads . If you're on the hunt for the perfect graduation gift, it's not too early to save on today's top-rated Microsoft devices and Xbox gaming gear. 

For a limited time, you can get the Surface Laptop 5 for $899. That's $100 off its regular price of $999 and one of the best laptop deals you can get right now. The laptop in this deal packs a 13.5-inch, 2256 x 1504 display, a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and Intel Iris Xe graphics. The Surface Laptop 5 is available in four options: Platinum (Alcantara), Platinum (Metal), Sage (Metal), Black (Metal), Sandstone (Metal).

In our Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 review, we liked its sleek, great-sounding speakers, tactile, clicky keyboard, and slender, solid build quality. Although we had gripes with your review unit's performance and battery life, Windows 11 updates appear to have improved these issues. For example, Surface Laptop 5 reviews at Best Buy for example average 4.6 out 5-stars. Satisfied customers praise the laptop's performance, battery life, and beautiful, lightweight design.

If you want to surprise your grad with a premium machine, the Surface Laptop 5 is a great option.

Want to gift your grad with a versatile Surface Pro device? Microsoft is also knocking up to $300 off various configuration Surface Pro 9 tablets. Prices start at $999.

And that's just the tip on the iceberg. From laptops to digital gift cards, see more of our favorite Microsoft grad gift ideas and deals below.
