Black Friday and Cyber Monday have wrapped up, but the discounts are still coming thanks to the upcoming Christmas holidays.
For example, the Microsoft Surface Pro 11, which we regarded as the best 2-in-1 laptop in 2024 for its exceptional performance, battery life, and sleek design, is now on an early Christmas discount for $1007.99 at Amazon.

Why buy the Surface Pro 11 Laptop?
While the Surface Pro 12 laptop may be all the rage these days, its predecessor, the Surface Pro 11, still stands as one of the best Windows-on-ARM laptops and one of the best 2-in-1 laptops we've ever covered on Windows Central.
Our editor-in-chief, Daniel Rubino, even gave this device a perfect 5/5 review in 2024, stating that"The Surface Pro 11th edition is by far the best version yet — and easily one of the best Windows laptops you can buy — thanks to the new Qualcomm processor, excellent 120Hz OLED display, and the new Flex Keyboard. With solid battery life and excellent performance, Microsoft achieves a nearly perfect score from us (95/100)."
Daniel Rubino doesn't make this statement lightly, as it's equipped with a mountain of powerful features to make life browsing the internet and working on digital paperwork or photo editing much easier.
These features include a Snapdragon X Elite processor (with 12 cores) to greatly enhance its CPU performance rates up to 4.2GHz, it has a superb battery life that will last you 16 hours before needing to recharge, and it has full Copilot+ AI integration with 45 TOPS on its Qualcomm Hexagon to efficiently run AI-empowered tasks.
Other notable features include an OLED touchscreen display that renders visuals with stunning resolution, colors, nd contrast, as well as a 512GB SSD for storing valuable data. Then there's the built-in high-quality speakers, a microphone, and a camera.
So if you're thinking about getting yourself or your friends a high-performance laptop for Christmas, you can grab it right now for $1007.99 at Amazon, instead of its usual MSRP of $1499.99.
