Get the Surface Pro 6, with keyboard included, for $1,000 at Microsoft

Surface Pro 6 Review
Dan Baker/Digital Trends

If you have been thinking of buying the Surface Pro 6 but have been worried by the fact that you need to purchase the Type Cover separately, now is your time to shop. Microsoft is currently running a deal on its latest Windows 2-in-1, letting you bring one home for $1,000 with the keyboard included in the price.

Usually retailing for $1,330, this latest Microsoft deal is cutting $330 off the price of the Surface Pro 6 and Type Cover bundle. It is not certain how long the discount will last, but it covers the special black version configured with the Intel Core i5 processor, a 256GB solid-state drive, and a total of 8GB of RAM. While this might not be the most powerful version of the Surface Pro 6, it still is an excellent choice for most tasks like web browsing and general day-to-day multitasking.

We reviewed a similar version of the Surface Pro 6 in October and found that is is the 2-in-1 to beat. Its bright display, build quality, improved quad-core processor, and excellent battery life were highs for us in our time with the device. Only the lack of USB-C and a poor Windows 10 tablet mode were low points for us in our review.

In the event that you want to buy a Surface Pro 6 with a little more power under the hood, Microsoft still has you covered. Although the keyboard is not included in the price, the platinum colored Surface Pro 6 with a 512GB solid-state drive, 16GB of RAM, and the Intel Core i7 processor is also on sale. It now retails for $1,700 instead of $1,900 — a $200 difference. This is a better choice if you’re running some 3D applications or editing photos and videos.

Alongside the Surface Pro 6, Microsoft is also discounting both the Surface Laptop 2 and the Surface Book 2. Starting configurations of the platinum Surface Laptop 2 now start at $800 instead of $1,000. And, the 13.5-inch version of the Surface Book 2 with the Intel Core i5 Processor, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB solid-state drive is now on sale for $1,300 instead of $1,500. We reviewed the Surface Book 2 and found it to be the “most technically impressive laptop” that we’ve ever tested.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 hands-on review: gain some, lose some
The Surface Laptop 5 on a table outside.

Microsoft's conventional laptop, the Surface Laptop, is in its fifth generation. The newly announced Surface Laptop 5 provides mostly iterative updates to the Surface Laptop 4, with the biggest change being what it no longer offers. The update to Intel's 12th-gen CPUs is welcome, while the move away from AMD's Ryzen lineup reduces potential performance and the usefulness of the laptop to creators.

Even so, the Surface Laptop 5 is an attractive, well-built laptop that is likely to be excellent for productivity workers. I went hands-on with the laptop at Microsoft's Surface launch event in Los Angeles, and here are some initial impressions.

Microsoft Surface Pro 9 hands-on review: different on the inside
The blue edition of the Surface Pro 9.

Microsoft has just revealed the Surface Pro 9 at its fall hardware event, the latest iteration of the detachable tablet that kicked off the modern 2-in-1 laptop. The Surface Pro 8 introduced a larger display, smaller display bezels, and a new more rounded design. The latest model keeps the same chassis, albeit with more color options, while making several significant internal upgrades.

I got to play with the Surface Pro 9 at Microsoft's Los Angeles launch event and found it to be quite familiar on the outside while holding great promise on the inside. We'll produce a full review as soon as we can, but for now, here are some initial impressions of Microsoft's latest full-size tablet.

The Surface Pro 9 embraces ARM chips and a splash of fresh color

Microsoft's big fall Surface event has come, and the Surface Pro 9 is the headline new product. From the outside, it doesn't look all that different from last year's Surface Pro 8.

The detachable keyboard comes in some new color options, Sapphire and Forest, which Microsoft says contain at least "12% renewable content" from sugarcane waste. There's also a new engraved design made in partnership with fashion brand Liberty London -- but it's otherwise an identical chassis.
