What you need to know
- Microsoft slashed prices on its Surface Book 2 lineup this week.
- Both the 15-inch and 13-inch models are on sale, dropping their prices by hundreds.
- The biggest cut is to the 15-inch base model, which is available for $500 off.
It feels like this year is the right time for Microsoft to release a Surface Book 3, but if you're looking for a solid deal, then the Surface Book 2 is currently available for a heck of a discount. Both the 13-inch and 15-inch models are now on sale at Microsoft, with the biggest price cuts hitting the larger of the two. As spotted by Neowin, you can save up to $500 on the base 15-inch configuration, dropping its starting price down to $1,499.
The discounts on the 13-inch configurations are all of the more modest variety, but they're still pretty alluring. The entry-level 13-inch configuration now starts at $999, which is $150 cheaper than it usually runs. If you max all the way out with the top-end 15-inch model, you'll pay $2,969, which is down from $3,299.
Though the Surface Book 2 is kitted out with Intel's aging 7th and 8th Gen Core i5 and i7 processors, it still packs a punch. That's particularly true on the Core i7 models, which include discrete NVIDIA graphics. If you'd rather snag a solid deal than wait for the Surface Book 3, then these are worth checking out.

Review: Hitman 3 is good, even if the execution is less than perfect
Hitman 3 is the thrilling conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy and builds upon the previous Hitman releases to perfection. The game features some excellent missions, but unfortunately, is an uneven package, and feels incomplete without the previous entries in the series.
