If you’re keen on getting a laptop that looks fantastic, feels great to use, and doesn’t cost too much, well, pickings are slim right due to RAMageddon. However, there’s a good deal happening at Best Buy through Thursday, July 30th, on Microsoft’s Arm-based, 13.8-inch Surface Laptop that has the 10-core Snapdragon X2 Plus chipset. Originally $1,599.99 (and selling for $1,300 on competing sites), you can get the 16GB RAM/512GB SSD configuration in black or dune color shades for $999.99.
We recently reviewed the entry-level Surface Laptop that has 8GB RAM as an experiment to see if the Windows 11 experience holds up as well as Apple’s MacBook Neo does with macOS. In short? Pass on it, even for its current $750 price; We highly recommend getting the 16GB model while it’s discounted to within a couple hundred bucks of the base config. The experience is that much better, and double the storage is nice, too.
