The Surface Laptop 5 is Microsoft's flagship Windows notebook. If you're a student or remote worker looking for a touchscreen notebook, the Surface Laptop 5 is likely on your radar. 

For a limited time, you can get the 12th Gen Intel Evo-charged Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 with 512GB SSD for $1,099 at Amazon. It usually retails for $1,299, so you're saving $200 with this deal. This is one of the lowest prices we've seen for this configuration Surface Laptop 5. If it sells out, the Microsoft Store has it for the same price. 

This is one of the best Surface deals of 2023 so far.

In our Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 review, we liked its sleek, great-sounding speaker, tactile, clicky keyboard and slim, premium design. Although we expected better performance and battery life out of it, a Windows 11 software update appears to have fixed the issue. Surface Laptop 5 reviews from happy customers on Amazon average 4 out of 5-stars. Satisfied owners at Best Buy praise the laptop's fast performance, battery life and sophisticated design. 

For your connectivity needs, the Surface Laptop 5 has a USB 3.1 Type-A port, USB-C port with USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 support and Surface Connect port. There's also a headphone/mic combo jack onboard for private listening and audio recording.

Now $200 off, the Surface Laptop 5 is worth considering if you're in the market for a sub-$1,100 notebook with touchscreen.
