The Surface Pro 7 may be one generation old, but it’s still a solid 2-in-1 device. You can grab one now for a great price through the Microsoft Store.
The Surface Pro 7 is a 2-in-1 device that can be used as a tablet or a PC. You can generally get through an entire day with the Surface Pro 7’s battery, which can last up to 10.5 hours. It also features a USB-C port that makes it easy to attach accessories and dongles.
The current deal from Microsoft isn’t quite the best price we’ve seen for the Surface Pro 7, but it’s close. Last week Best Buy had a deal that brought the Surface Pro 7 to $500, though that deal has since ended. Note that the deal in the Microsoft Store doesn’t come with a Type Cover, so you’ll have to pick one up along with any otherSurface accessoriesyou’d like.
The Surface Pro 7 ships with Windows 10, but it will receive a free upgrade toWindows 11, which starts rolling out on October 5, 2021.
