Microsoft first launched its Surface brand all the way back in late 2012. Nearly a full decade ago, the company focused primarily on the hybrid tablet/laptop form factor that still exists today, targeting both iPad and MacBook users with a single device. It wasn’t until 2017 that the first Surface Laptop came to market. Since then, Microsoft has continued to iterate upon its design, utilizing premium materials—including aluminum and suede-like Alcantara cloth—while upgrading its performance and capabilities with each version.
That brings us to the Surface Laptop 4, the chosen Windows laptop of our Editor-in-Chief, Chris Hoffman. The model featured in today’s deal is rocking a 13.5″ display with touchscreen support. Under the hood sits an 11th generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB of memory, and a 512 GB SSD.
While these aren’t the most elite specs you’ll find in a Windows laptop, they’re a good starting point for anyone who just needs to surf the web, write papers or reports, and thumb through a spreadsheet or two — especially at less than $1,000. If you need more performance, you can configure this Surface Laptop 4 up to a decked out version with a 15″ display, Core i7 processor, 32 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage, though it will cost you quite a bit more, even with the discount included.
The base version of the Surface Laptop 4 is available in several colors, including a very snazzy Matte Black, clean Platinum, alluring Ice Blue, and warm Sandstone. This special discount is valid through Sunday, September 18, so grab your favorite configuration before they’re gone.
