Get the Surface Pro 6, with keyboard included, for $1,000 at Microsoft

Surface Pro 6 Review
Dan Baker/Digital Trends

If you have been thinking of buying the Surface Pro 6 but have been worried by the fact that you need to purchase the Type Cover separately, now is your time to shop. Microsoft is currently running a deal on its latest Windows 2-in-1, letting you bring one home for $1,000 with the keyboard included in the price.

Usually retailing for $1,330, this latest Microsoft deal is cutting $330 off the price of the Surface Pro 6 and Type Cover bundle. It is not certain how long the discount will last, but it covers the special black version configured with the Intel Core i5 processor, a 256GB solid-state drive, and a total of 8GB of RAM. While this might not be the most powerful version of the Surface Pro 6, it still is an excellent choice for most tasks like web browsing and general day-to-day multitasking.

We reviewed a similar version of the Surface Pro 6 in October and found that is is the 2-in-1 to beat. Its bright display, build quality, improved quad-core processor, and excellent battery life were highs for us in our time with the device. Only the lack of USB-C and a poor Windows 10 tablet mode were low points for us in our review.

In the event that you want to buy a Surface Pro 6 with a little more power under the hood, Microsoft still has you covered. Although the keyboard is not included in the price, the platinum colored Surface Pro 6 with a 512GB solid-state drive, 16GB of RAM, and the Intel Core i7 processor is also on sale. It now retails for $1,700 instead of $1,900 — a $200 difference. This is a better choice if you’re running some 3D applications or editing photos and videos.

Alongside the Surface Pro 6, Microsoft is also discounting both the Surface Laptop 2 and the Surface Book 2. Starting configurations of the platinum Surface Laptop 2 now start at $800 instead of $1,000. And, the 13.5-inch version of the Surface Book 2 with the Intel Core i5 Processor, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB solid-state drive is now on sale for $1,300 instead of $1,500. We reviewed the Surface Book 2 and found it to be the “most technically impressive laptop” that we’ve ever tested.

The Surface Pro 10 sounds amazing, and it may be coming soon

Microsoft could be getting ready to reveal the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 sooner than expected. Reporting from Windows Central's Zac Bowden indicates the devices might be announced on March 21, and could feature both Intel Core Ultra and Snapdragon X Elite chips under the hood, along with some design tweaks.

These new Surface devices are expected to go all-in on AI features in Windows 11. More important is that we could see the next Surface Laptop in a new ARM-based variant in addition to one with a traditional Intel Core Ultra CPU. This change in chips should not only bring more choice like the Surface Pro 9 did, but also performance gains that can help the devices rival what Apple has accomplished with the iPad Pro, as well as the new MacBook Pro with the M3 chip.

The Surface Pro could finally live up to its potential this year
The back of the Surface Pro 9, with the kickstand pulled out.

The Surface Pro hasn't changed much over the years. The design has been tweaked slightly from generation to generation, but the central premise has remained. Its strengths have been bolstered, but its weaknesses have stayed around, too.

This year, however, the Surface Pro 10 is reportedly coming out. And unlike previous versions of the Surface Pro, this one might finally reinvent this device into something that profoundly fulfills the promise of what it always could be.
The problem of the 2-in-1

Apple’s Vision Pro is just a couple of days from landing on people’s heads, with many speculating how much of a success -- or not -- the tech giant can make of its most important product launch in years.

A key factor is expected to be the level of interest developers show in creating custom-made apps for the mixed-reality headset, with some major platforms such as Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube deciding to hold back from offering bespoke apps.
