Today’s best Prime Day Microsoft Surface deals

What Prime Day Microsoft Surface deals to expect

Amazon loves to discount popular technology during Prime Day so we’re expecting to see some great Prime Day Microsoft Surface sales going on. That will almost certainly include the likes of the Microsoft Surface Go range as well as the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 (particularly bundle deals that include the Type Cover keyboard which we strongly recommend) and the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3.

Whether we’ll see discounts on the latest Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 is less certain. It’s definitely possible but if it happens, it’ll probably be a fairly modest price cut. Expect the big savings to come from last year’s models like the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 which may be slightly older technology but will still be highly capable.

What Prime Day Microsoft Surface deals we saw last year

Last year was a great time to save if you were able to shop the Prime Day Microsoft Surface sales. We saw discounts of up to 35% off of some of the Microsoft Surface range, with $450 off the Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 and up to $175 off the Microsoft Surface Pro 7. Even the original Microsoft Surface Book enjoyed a hefty discount which was great for those on a budget and happy to buy older technology.

Should you buy a new Microsoft Surface on Prime Day?

Prime Day is generally one of the best sales events for any kind of technology. Often, it manages to be as well priced as the likes of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with the added benefit that you get to enjoy your shiny new piece of tech a few months early, so the 2021 Prime Day Microsoft Surface sales are definitely worth checking out.

It’s a good idea to have a think beforehand about what your budget is, though. With a growing number of different Microsoft Surface devices out there, you can spend a little or a lot on one so it’s vital that you know what you can afford and what you’re looking for before you jump in.

Check out our Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 review as well as our Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 review to understand the two main laptops in the lineup. We also have a Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 vs. Surface Laptop 3 comparison if you want to see the differences. Alternatively, check out our Surface Go vs. Surface Pro 7 piece to learn even more about the tablet options. Knowledge is power when it comes to knowing you’ve bought the right Microsoft Surface for you so that you can get the best deal.

The shiny golden cones of Klipsch's entire loudspeaker lineup are instantly recognizable and add a unique glint of opulence to the masses of matte black AV components out there. And given the 70-plus years that the American audio company has been around, their stuff just so happens to sound pretty fantastic, too. So, for Amazon Prime Day, we present exhibits A and B: the small but powerful Klipsch R-41PM powered bookshelf speakers and the thumping 400-watt Klipsch R-120SW subwoofer, both of which are hugely discounted (40% and 52% off, respectively) and ripe for the taking.

As is often the way with Amazon-owned devices, there are some fantastic Prime Day Ring Doorbell deals going on, but you really don't have long to make a purchase. It's the last day of Prime Day so this is your chance for a sweet Ring doorbell deal. With plenty of great options available, we've picked out our favorite below, as well as highlighted a few alternatives. That way, there should be something for everyone here.
Our Favorite Prime Day Ring Doorbell Deal

If you aren't sure which Ring Video Doorbell you should buy this Prime Day, then we recommend you check out this Ring Video Doorbell 2nd generation, which is not only budget-friendly but has great features. For example, it can be installed wirelessly, so you don't have to figure out extra cables to your power or existing chime, and it makes life a lot easier. That said, it does come with the downside that recharging the internal battery is a bit of a pain since it's not removable, and the charging port of the Ring is on the back, so you have to pop the whole thing off. Even so, it only uses about 1% battery life per day, so it should last you at least two to three months, depending on how heavy your usage is.
