Amazon drops $300 off of the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 ahead of Prime Day 2019

Amazon Prime Day is fast approaching on July 15 and 16, bringing with it a deluge of deals on laptops, tablets, smartphones, and lots of other enticing items. Prime Day 2019 may still be a few weeks away, but that hasn’t stopped Amazon from dropping prices on big-name brands in anticipation of the big day(s). Now, Amazon has dropped the price of the

Microsoft Surface Pro 6 with type cover to just $1,000

, for a nearly $300 discount. Begin your Prime Day prep by crossing this deeply discounted Surface Pro 6 off your shopping list early.

These days, 2-in-1 laptops are among the most popular mobile products, and Microsoft makes some of the best in the business, with its Surface Pro 6 being an especially outstanding option.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 6 is our favorite 2-in-1 laptop/tablet hybrid here at Digital Trends due to its compact design, processing power, and high-performance features. One gripe we did have concerned the Surface Pro 6’s ability as a stand-alone tablet, but with the sturdy keyboard of the Surface type cover included in this Amazon deal, you won’t need to worry about that. This tenacious 2-in-1 boasts a sleek design, with a 12.3-inch, 2736 x 1824 PixelSense 10-point toucsscreen, and rear- and front-facing cameras measuring 8.0 and 5.0 megapixels, respectively. Integrated microphones and stereo speakers provide a laptop-like audio experience in a tablet-sized package.

On the inside, the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 is powered by the venerable 8th Gen Intel Quad Core processors, with Windows 10 as its operating system, offering a higher level of flexibility than its Apple or Android counterparts. With 8GB of RAM and a 128GB solid state drive, you get all the storage and performance users have come to expect from Microsoft’s Surface line of laptops and tablets. The four-cell lithium ion battery enables 13.5 hours per charge, so the perfectly portable Surface Pro 6 is unlikely to power down on you when you’re on the go.

2-in-1 laptops and tablets may still not be for everyone, but products like the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 are increasingly making believers out of many people. Now priced at $1,000 on Amazon, you might just find yourself not wanting to wait for Prime Day, and cashing in on this deal now.

GoPro Hero10 price slashed from $550 to $300 in the Prime Day sale
A bundle featuring the GoPro Hero10 Black action camera.

If you've been planning to buy the GoPro Hero10 Black, you did the right thing waiting for Prime Day deals because a bundle that includes the action camera with several accessories is down to just $300 from its original price of $550. The $250 discount from Amazon pushes it under its previous low of $311, but you'll need to proceed with the purchase immediately if you want to take advantage of this offer because we're expecting it to generate a lot of attention from shoppers, so stocks will sell out quickly.

Why you should buy the GoPro Hero10 Black bundle
It's not the latest model of the action camera company -- that distinction goes to the GoPro Hero11 Black and GoPro Hero11 Mini -- but the GoPro Hero10 Black remains a worthwhile investment because of the power of the GP2 processor that promises smooth performance and responsive controls. The action camera can take photos at up to 23MP resolution, and record videos at up to 5.3K resolution and 60 frames per second. The GoPro Hero10 Black also offers HyperSmooth 4.0 for extreme optical image stabilization, better low-light performance, and horizon leveling.
