October Prime Day Microsoft Surface device deals continue with early holiday deals on these premium machines. One Amazon Prime Early Access Sale offers a steep discount on the Surface Pro 8.
Prime members can get the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 Intel Core i5 Tablet for $1,099. Normally $1,399, that's $300 in savings. This marks the lowest price ever for this Surface Pro 8 configuration. In fact, it's one of the best Prime Early Access tablet deals from the sale.
If that's out of your budget, Amazon offers the Intel Core i5-charged Surface Pro 7+ with Type Cover for just $689 ($340 off).
In our Microsoft Surface Pro 8 review, we found its gorgeous display and strong performance impressive. We also love its dual Thunderbolt 4 port array and excellent webcam. We gave the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 a rating of 4 of 5 stars and our coveted Editor's Choice award.
During performance tests, the Surface Pro juggled everything we threw its way. In one test, we bombarded it with 24 Chrome browser tabs. Two streamed YouTube videos at 1080p and two ran Twitch streams. The Surface Pro 8 didn't even flinch. Our review unit had an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU and 16GB of RAM.
With a weight of 1.96 pounds and measuring 11.3 x 8.2 x 0.37 inches, the Surface Pro 8 is slightly heavier but narrower than the Surface Pro 7 (1.74 pounds, 11.5 x 7.9 x 0.33 inches). It's lighter and thinner than the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 (2.9 pounds, 11.6 x 7.8 x 0.6 inches).
Port-wise, the Surface Pro 8 affords you two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a Surface Connect port and Microsoft’s excellent magnetic charging port. It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack on board and Surface Type Cover port.
The Surface Pro 8 is a solid choice if you're looking for the best convertible tablet PC there is.
