For folks who have long wanted a Microsoft Surface Book or Surface Pro 4, now may be the best time to get one. Microsoft is offering big discounts for refurbished units where each carries up to 15% discounts.
The obvious catch here is that these are refurbished units. Hence, they are technically not brand new but “good as new”. Some may be cautious on that note but if you want decent savings, this is the best one to consider for now.
The Microsoft Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 debuted just last year and the company does place the devices under a rigorous process before offering them to customers for purchase. That includes strict quality inspection rendered both inside and outside the said devices which will even include a one-year warranty once bought.
Big savings expected
Everyone is aware that one aspect of the Microsoft Surface Book or Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is the pricing standpoint. These things don’t come cheap.
The ones offered right now allow potential buyers to save a lot depending on the configuration of their choice. This discount covers a Surface Book coming with a Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. For reference, the base model featuring a Core i5, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage now only costs $1,274 from the original SRP of $1,499.
For the Surface Pro 4, buyers stand to get one for just $764 (from $899) for configurations that include a Core M3 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The configurations are endless and most can be viewed here for the Surface Book and here for the Surface Pro 4.
Best Buy until Surface Book 2 in 2017
As mentioned in a previous post, Microsoft is rumored to be launching the Surface Book 2 next year. That render will likely come with more powerful specs that include a Kaby Laker processor, a GTX 10 Series GPU, and USB-C port in tow. Microsoft has yet to touch on that so while the wait continues, folks dying to get the Surface Book may want to take them up on the refurbished deals offer for the meantime.
