If you want to get the processing power of a Windows laptop and the flexibility of a tablet, the Microsoft Surface Book 2 is always a great option. It is our pick for the best detachable 2-in-1 for 2019. You can now get this

powerful hybrid notebook

on Amazon at $300 below its usual price. This makes it more affordable than our pick for the best laptop. Amazon also has a huge discount on Samsung Notebook 9 15-inch laptop, dropping the price by $480.

The Microsoft Surface Book 2 13.5-inch detachable notebook with Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD is normally $1,499. Amazon’s 20% discount brings it down to $1,200. You can even get another $50 off when you apply for an Amazon Rewards Visa Card. Hurry and order now while stock is on hand.

Just like its predecessor, the Microsoft Surface Book 2 features a display that can be popped off the keyboard base to become a thin, light, and powerful tablet with active pen support. This allows it to be used in four different modes. In laptop mode, you get a full keyboard and large trackpad that you can use alongside the interactive touchscreen. Detaching the PixelSense display transforms it into a tablet you can take anywhere. You can also fold it into studio mode for a more comfortable and natural drawing position. And when you need to share content or presentations, you can detach the display and turn it around before reattaching to get a screen you can control with voice commands.

The tablet is the Microsoft Surface Book 2’s main computer component. Inside it is the latest quad-core Intel processor which has enough power to run professional-grade software. Docking it in its keyboard base lets you tap into the built-in NVIDIA GeForce GPUs for improved graphics performance. Most of the battery is also in the base. The combined batteries of the tablet and the keyboard can last you for up to 17 hours — almost double the normal working day.

Students using Microsoft Office software on their laptops outside.

There is certainly a wider discussion of Microsoft vs. Google when it comes to productivity software, but Microsft offers a pretty excellent product that doesn't get as much attention as the Google Suite of tools. unfortunately, the truth is that it can get quite pricey, and while there is a free trial of Microsoft Word, it's not really the same thing. Luckily, there are a few Microsoft Office deals with grabbing, which is why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite for you below.
Best Microsoft Office deals
Microsoft Office is a pay once, receive once service. You don't have to pay recurring monthly fees to use it, but the software also never updates. For what it's worth, the Microsoft Office packages are labelled "2021", so they're all fairly recent but also ripe for a good deal. With the exception of AI integrations, not much has really changed in the past couple of years when it comes to your basic document creation and these programs should continue to be effective for years to come. Depending on what package you get, you'll get access to different apps, based on the needs of the target audience. For example, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2021 keeps it lean and cool and with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint being the only apps included.

Here are our favorite deals for the classic Microsoft Office experience:

While Dell and Apple duke it out with the XPS and the MacBook Air, there is a third option in the form of the Microsoft Surface laptops, of which there is actually a surprising number of options. In fact, you can get everything from a budget-oriented option, to the high-end Microsoft Studio, which is almost like a portable desktop and great for creative pros. Of course, the bigger problem is that a lot of these can get a little bit pricey, and for some of the older models, there really are only renewed or refurbished models.
