Some laptop deals come around often, but we haven’t seen the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 on sale for a while now. That’s changed today with Walmart discounting it by $400. Usually costing $1,600, it’s down to $1,200 for what we’re guessing is going to be a very limited time. The laptop looks great while packing some excellent hardware. Here’s everything you need to know before you tap the buy button, but bear in mind that you likely to need to be quick to snag that awesome discount.

Why you should buy the Microsoft Surface Pro 9

Microsoft may not make many laptops, but the ones it does develop confidently earn it a spot in our look at the best laptop brands. You’ll see that the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is one of the best 2-in-1 laptops around, topping our list thanks to its great functionality.

With this Microsoft Surface Pro 9, you get a 12th-generation Intel Core i7-1255U processor, 16GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage. That sounds pretty standard, but that’s before you consider the exceptional 13-inch touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The latter means that you get silky smooth performance with no motion blur, even when you’re dealing with fast-moving action on screen.

Crucially, because this is a 2-in-1 laptop, you can detach the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 from its keyboard and then use it like a tablet. Such flexibility is great for when you want to use your laptop a little differently or for those times when you can’t decide between owning a laptop or a tablet.

Battery life isn’t exceptional, but it’s not bad at all, coming in at just under nine hours, which should suffice for most people’s needs. Its design makes it an appealing option for anyone seeking one of the best laptops but also looking for something a little different from the usual way of working or relaxing on the move.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is rarely on sale, but right now you can save $400 by buying it from Walmart. Instead of paying $1,600, the price is down to $1,200 for a limited time. Check it out now before the deal ends very soon. We can’t say when it’ll be this cheap again.

Best Surface Laptop and Surface Pro deals: From $520

If you're a Windows user, then you're probably familiar with something like the Dell XPS lineup of thin and light laptops, and while they're great, they may not be for you. Well, one great alternative is Microsoft's lineup of Surface Laptops, which are pretty much the same concept as the Dell XPS and the MacBook Air when it comes to thin-and light laptops. Unfortunately, most of the currently available Surface laptops are a bit older as we're waiting for the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6, but there are still some good options out there, including refurbished ones.

We've collected some of our favorite deals below, but if you're still looking for something a bit different, check out these laptop deals and 2-in-1 laptop deals, and maybe even these MacBook deals

If you want to grab one of the best laptops on the market, you can't go wrong with one of the MacBooks, especially if you're already working within the Apple ecosystem. There are a couple of options you can go for, including both the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, but also in terms of what sort of chip you want to run, starting with the slightly older M1 chip which is harder to find, to the higher-end M3 chip. Of course, they tend to be quite expensive, especially if you go for a MacBook Pro, so you'll want to snag one of these Apple deals on MacBooks from various retailers to help save yourself a little bit extra.
