Amazon slashes $68 off the price of the new 10-inch Microsoft Surface Go

By
Microsoft Surface Go Review
Rich Shibley/Digital Trends

It’s clear that 2-in-1 devices are getting more and more popular nowadays. This tech basically combines the performance of one of the best laptops, the portability of one of the best tablet, and the convenience of a touchscreen all in one unit. If you’re looking to get your hands on some laptop deals for the upcoming school year, Microsoft’s Surface Go is an excellent option.

Amazon currently has a deal on the 8GB RAM version

that lets you have it for only $485 instead of its usual $549 price tag.

The Surface Go is a 10-inch tablet that packs an Intel Pentium chip at its core. It runs a full version of Windows 10, making it a solid alternative to traditional laptops. Those looking for a handy PC for school, travel or work will find love with its lightweight and compact profile.

Sleek and slim, this tablet is the smallest and lightest Surface to date. It flaunts a stunning PixelSense technology that ensures amazing display quality whether you’re surfing the web, binge-watching, or working. Its 1,900 x 1,200-pixel resolution may not compare to that of the iPad, but it’s high enough to keep images color-accurate and text sharp.

Powered by the Pentium 4415Y processor, you can expect the Surface Go to handle conventional applications like Photoshop Express of Microsoft Word just fine. Running a single task is super-smooth, but when it comes to web-based workflows, you’ll likely experience a few stuttering or choppiness. Games like Asphalt or Minecraft perform okay, although anything that requires heavier graphics is out of the question.

What makes this tablet versatile is its ability to be used in different ways: The Tablet mode for portability and intuitive interaction, the Studio mode for a perfect drawing and writing angle, and the Laptop mode for when you need to do extensive typing (Type Cover sold separately). You can also opt to buy the Surface Pen and the Surface Mobile Mouse for creative tasks and full-on productivity.

The Surface Go works impeccably with all Microsoft Office apps, including Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. It’s claimed to have a 9-hour battery life, which will most likely last you through a workday depending on usage.

You can order the 8GB RAM (128GB storage) version on Amazon at a discounted price of $485.

Samsung just slashed the price of this massive 85-inch 4K TV
The Samsung 70-inch Class 7 Series 4K TV in a living room.

Even though Prime Day is over, that doesn't mean there aren't many great Samsung TV deals you can still take advantage of. For example, this massive 85-inch Samsung CU7000 4K TV, which usually goes for $1,300, but can be yours for just $1,200 today. Even though that's not a substantial discount, an 85-inch TV for a little over $1,000 is an impressive price coming from Samsung, which doesn't make many budget-oriented TVs.

Why you should buy the 85-inch Samsung CU7000 4K TV
While you might not find the most advanced panel tech on the CU7000, like OLED, it still uses a great panel that has a lot of the modern features you'd expect, such as HDR10+, which we were somewhat surprised to see at this price point on such a big screen. Of course, the whole thing plays in 4k, which might cause some screen door effect given the lower pixel density, but since it's 85 inches, you're not likely to be sitting very close to the TV anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, big TVs like this are great for playing split screen games, and while the TV's peak refresh rate is 60Hz, that's still perfectly fine for these types of games regardless of the console or gaming PC you're using.

While regular Prime Day deals are certainly appealing at the moment, we're impressed to see what Samsung is offering as part of Prime Day TV deals season. If you want the ultimate home cinema experience, you can preorder the Samsung 98-inch Q80C QLED TV for $7,000, saving a huge $2,000 off the regular price of $9,000. Now, we're not saying that $7,000 is cheap by any means but if you've been keen to invest in something huge in every sense of the word, this is a great saving. If that sounds like you, take a look at what else we have to say about it.

Why you should buy the Samsung 98-inch Q80C QLED TV
As one of the best TV brands, you're in safe hands with Samsung. The Samsung 98-inch Q80C QLED TV is certainly a vast example of what Samsung has to offer with a 98-inch screen needing a pretty huge living space to serve it justice. It's worth it too. Of course, there's the QLED panel which means you get super vibrant colors across the board. That's further helped by features like the Supersize Picture Enhancer that uses AI to optimize content for the larger screen. AI and 20 neural networks also boost sharpness, deepen blacks, and upscale any non-4K content. There's also Direct Full Arrays technology that controls the amount of lighting across all parts of the screen, even in sunlit rooms.

Why you should buy the Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet
The Amazon Fire Max 11, which was just rolled out two months ago, is certainly looking like it will eventually take the place of the Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus in our roundup of the best Android tablets as the top choice for Amazon fans. It begins with the device's 11-inch screen with 2,000 x 1,200 resolution, which offers natural colors and strong blacks to make watching streaming content very enjoyable.
