Amazon's annual Prime Big Deal Days sale has concluded for October, but that doesn't mean there's still plenty of tech products on sale. Case in point being the outstanding Surface Pro 12-inch laptop by Microsoft, which is on a 13% discount, taking its massive MSRP of $799.99 down to $699.99.

While it's not as big as its Amazon Prime Day discount of $649.99, this is still one of the lowest price drops we've ever seen for this laptop. So to see the Surface Pro 12-inch still go on sale for $100 is amazing for people looking for a new Windows 2-in-1.

The new Surface Pro 12-inch has a new 90Hz touchscreen display, Windows Hello face unlock, an all aluminum chassis with built-in kickstand, and a built-in wireless charger for the Surface Slim Pen. It's probably the best Windows 2-in-1 you can buy right now.

The Surface Pro 12-inch is Microsoft's latest Surface Pro, featuring a new screen-size and design that we've previously not seen on a Surface before. It has uniform display bezels, a 90Hz touchscreen, and built-in wireless charging for the Surface Slim Pen too.

As it's a Surface Pro, it also has a built-in kickstand which feels great and is super handy and versatile. It means you can prop the tablet up on any surface whenever you want, without resorting to an ugly or bulky case.

It also makes the Surface Pro a great 2-in-1 tablet, should you wish to use it as a laptop. Microsoft sells an excellent optional Surface Pro 12-inch keyboard, which attaches to the device with magnets and transforms it into a capable compact laptop for on the go work.

On the inside, the Surface Pro 12-inch is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus, which delivers a balance of great performance and battery life, along with 16GB RAM and 256GB UFS storage.

It has an NPU that outputs 45 TOPS of power, meaning it's a fully fledged Copilot+ PC capable of all the new AI features available in Windows 11, and futureproofed for many more to come.

Like its flagship sibling, it also has fast Windows Hello face unlock, which makes signing into the Surface Pro 12-inch a total breeze. Ultimately, with its all-aluminum enclosure and high-quality design, you can't go wrong with the Surface Pro 12-inch at $699 on Amazon.

What should Windows 10 users know about upgrading to the Surface Pro 12-inch

Windows 10 reaches end of support on October 14, 2025. After that date, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or technical support. Upgrading to a Windows 11 device like the Surface Pro 12-inch ensures ongoing updates, security patches, and access to the latest features.

Is the 90Hz display worth it for everyday use?

A high refresh rate display makes using Windows feel more fluid and fast. Animations will become smoother, because the display is able to update and show more frames than your usual 60Hz panel. The higher the frame rate, the smoother the OS will look.
