It's been raining sweet deals of late at Microsoft and third-party retailers like Best Buy on both 2018's Surface Pro 6 and fifth-gen models released the previous year, but if you don't want to make any processing power compromises, today's the day to pull the trigger and score a discount of up to $259.
Five different Surface Pro 6 variants are currently eligible for a pair of cool freebies on their manufacturer's official US e-store. If you're wondering what this fast five has in common, the answer is actually quite simple: a state-of-the-art 8th Generation Intel Core i7 chipset. That makes this tablet a very worthy replacement for essentially any conventional laptop out there, so it's definitely fitting (and nice) that Microsoft lets you bundle these powerhouses with a keyboard and Surface Pen at no extra cost.
You can get the complimentary stylus in your favorite color from a quartet of options including black, platinum, cobalt blue, and burgundy, while the gratis keyboard can be an older Surface Pro Type Cover model, normally worth $129.99, or a newer, fancier Signature Type Cover in platinum, blue, or burgundy, which separately fetches $159.99. All in all, after also taking the $99.99 retail value of that productivity-enhancing Surface Pen into consideration, you're looking at maximum savings of around 260 bucks.
Of course, you'll have to cough up a pretty penny to get a Surface Pro 6 with Intel Core i7 inside in the first place and qualify for the two extremely valuable and popular gifts. We're talking at least $1,499 if you can "settle" for a 256GB SSD/8GB RAM configuration and up to a whopping $2,299 for a Windows 10 tablet/laptop hybrid pulling out all the stops, with 16 gigs of memory and a full 1TB of storage space.
