You can definitely blame Amazon for eclipsing its arch-rival with about a thousand cool Prime Day deals on a thousand different products (but no 12-inch Surface Pro for some reason)... or you can take advantage of Best Buy's newest one-day-only offer on one of the greatest tablets out there today.
Microsoft Surface Pro (2025)
$749
99
$899
99
$150 off (17%)
Wi-Fi Only, 256GB Storage, 16GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus Processor, 12-Inch Touchscreen with 2196 x 1464 Pixel Resolution and 90Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Windows 11, Windows Hello Face Authentication Camera, 10MP Rear-Facing Camera, 2W Stereo Speakers with Dolby Atmos Support, All-Day Battery Life, Two USB-C Ports, Platinum Color, Keyboard Included
Yes, the retailer has quickly revived one of its top Techtober promotions, once again slashing 150 bucks off the $899.99 list price of a 2025 Surface Pro with 16GB RAM, 256 gigs of internal storage space, and a bundled keyboard.
While another version of Microsoft's 12-inch iPad Pro alternative was discounted by a heftier $200 for 24 hours a couple of months back, I'd argue that this new deal is even better than that. That's because I'm sure many of you like to use Windows-powered Surface Pros as full-blown laptop replacements rather than conventional tablets, which you can do right now after paying just $749.99.
With an 8-core Snapdragon X Plus processor inside, this 2025-released 2-in-1 computer is actually not as impressive as the Surface Pro (11th Edition) from last year in terms of raw power, shining instead with its portability and sleek design. Yes, the 12-incher is less than 8mm thick, tipping the scales at 686 grams (by itself) while somehow still promising to deliver up to 16 hours of battery life (in "local video playback" time).
The value proposition is further enhanced by those Copilot AI experiences you're all likely to find more and more convenient by the day, as well as not one but two handy USB-C ports, a powerful 2W stereo speaker system with Dolby Atmos technology, and last but certainly not least, a sharp PixelSense touchscreen with a resolution of 2196 x 1464 pixels.
Can you find a better tablet at 750 bucks right now? Maybe, but definitely not with a keyboard included as well. That goes for everything from the likes of Samsung's Galaxy Tab S11 (which I'm not sure is better than a 12-inch Surface Pro anyway) to the Apple M4-powered iPad Pro 11 and iPad Pro 13 (which are both costlier even without bundled keyboards).
