Microsoft Surface Pro 9 Hits Record Low Price
In a move that has delighted bargain hunters and tech enthusiasts alike, Microsoft’s Surface Pro 9 is now available for a mere 9.99 at Best Buy. This exceptional offer marks the lowest price point for the acclaimed 2-in-1 device, positioning the Surface Pro 9 as an incredibly appealing option within the premium tablet market.
Despite the recent announcement of the Surface Pro 10 for business, and anticipation building for the consumer version of the Surface Pro 10, this substantial discount presents the Surface Pro 9 as a compelling choice for consumers seeking high-end Microsoft hardware at a more accessible price.
Acclaim for the Surface Pro 9
Our review of the Surface Pro 9 lauded the device, which garnered a perfect score for its innovative design, robust performance, and sleek new color options. Although the Type Cover remains a separate purchase, and its battery life leaves room for improvement, the Surface Pro 9 shines as a premium piece of technology. In fact, Senior Editor Zac Bowden proclaimed it “the best bit of hardware Microsoft has ever released,” surpassing the Surface Laptop and Surface Studio.
Powered by a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, the Surface Pro 9 brings a significant performance leap over its predecessors, making it an ideal tool for productivity. Bowden’s admiration for the device is clear: “I never used to be a fan of the Surface Pro line, but that all changed with the Surface Pro 9. This PC is amazing. I love the display. I love the design. I love the premium chassis. I love the Type Cover. The only thing I dislike is the battery life, which could be better. Almost everything about the Surface Pro 9 is perfect.”
Comparing Surface Pro 9 and Surface Pro 10
The upcoming Surface Pro 10 for business primarily offers a chip upgrade and some enhancements tailored for professional use, such as an integrated NFC reader. However, for many users, the current deal on the Surface Pro 9 represents a better value. And while the Surface Pro 10 is set to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite-based processor, a new haptic touchpad, and potentially OLED display options, the Surface Pro 9 at this discounted price is a smart purchase for those who do not require the absolute latest specs.
As we await the full reveal of the consumer-focused Surface Pro 10, the Surface Pro 9 stands as a testament to Microsoft’s decade-long refinement of the Surface Pro line, offering premium features, compelling design, and now, an irresistible price point.
