The Microsoft Surface Pro 6, a personal favorite 2-in-1 laptop of ours here at Digital Trends, is a dynamic device that holds its own against even the best 2-in-1 laptop/tablets on the market, often at more attractive prices. Amazon recently slashed prices on the Surface Pro 6 and Surface Laptop, but Best Buy is offering an even bigger bang for your buck. Today only, score your Microsoft Surface Pro 6 for only $700 (down from $900).

Gone are the days when Microsoft’s most popular products were software. A slew of top-notch hardware released in recent years, led by the Surface Pro series, has kept Microsoft in the top ranks of the tech world. The Surface Pro 6, the company’s crown jewel, boasts a sleek, sturdy construction, a 12.3-inch HD touchscreen display, and an array of facets and features that make it a perfect tablet or 2-in-1 tool for both amateur and professional purposes.

A favorite selling point of the Surface Pro 6 is the convenience and compatibility that comes with the iconic Windows 10 operating system, offering more flexibility than its iOS or Android counterparts. Beyond that, the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 is powered by Intel’s 8th-generation Core i5 processor, enabling a smoothness and speed that even the most ardent acolytes of rival Apple will have to appreciate.

One downside of the Surface Pro 6, however, is its standalone ability as a tablet. While powerful, the Surface Pro 6 lags behind other tablets like the iPad in some key areas. Luckily, Best Buy is also currently offering the Microsoft Surface Pro Type Cover at a discounted $95 (down from $130). Transform your tablet into a true 2-in-1 laptop with this lightweight keyboard that doubles as a folding case. A less necessary, but still intriguing, accessory is the Surface Pen (now $68, down from $100), which enables writing and drawing with precision ink on one end, and erasure on the other.

While devotees of Samsung and Apple tablets may be tough to convert, the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 is the strongest case we’ve seen yet for making the switch. Hurry and scoop yours up today, before this desirable deal runs out.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable is a great detachable tablet that took over the top spot on our list of best 2-in-1s. It beat out the Microsoft Surface Pro 7, which had a great run but got a little long in the tooth.

Enter the Surface Pro 8, which was released in early October 2021 and makes some meaningful and long-overdue improvements to the Surface Pro line. Can the ThinkPad X12 Detachable keep its place on top against the new and improved Surface Pro 8?

Microsoft recently announced the Surface Pro 8, so you might be wondering how it compares to the latest and greatest iPad Pro from Apple, especially since we proclaimed that the iPad Pro now has a worthy opponent with the arrival of the Pro 8. Both devices can be used as tablets, or as computing devices with a keyboard. The screens are also similar, with narrow bezels.

Today marked Microsoft's annual Surface event. This year a lot of attention might have been focused on the Surface Pro 8 and the new Surface Laptop Studio. Cool as they are, there's one small thing that was important to me: The new Surface Pro X.

The original Surface Pro X was announced about two years ago and delivered a massive redesign to the Surface Pro as we knew it. Yet it also had a custom Microsoft SQ1 chip based on an ARM-based processor under the hood. It was quite promising, and the hardware was beautiful, but it flopped for many reasons that we've well documented.
