While the “outdated” 2-in-1 Windows tablet is obviously no longer available directly from its manufacturer (or many major US retailers like Best Buy), bargain hunters probably know exactly where to look for (limited) inventory at great prices.
If you can’t settle for the admittedly modest Intel Core i3 processor and 4GB RAM count of this entry-level Surface Pro 7 configuration, you’ll unfortunately need to cough up an extra two Benjamins to bump that up to a Core i5 variant with 8 gigs of the good stuff.
The i5 chip and 8GB memory will set you back just $20 on top of the $630 price of the aforementioned model with an SSD upgrade from 128 to 256 gigs as well, while the Core i7 versions on sale at Woot right now are… pretty hard to swallow, at $770 and up.
To be clear, all of the above prices include a complimentary Surface Pen, but if you don’t think you’re going to need that, you can go for a solo entry-level variant with Intel Core i3, 4GB RAM, and a 128GB SSD inside at $399.99.
