Amazon is currently offering the latest Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 Ryzen 7 SE/8GB/512GB for $1,199.99 shipped. Normally going for $1,440, this 17% discount, or $240 in savings, comes within $10 of the all-time low while only being the third drop to this price. This deal is also matched at Best Buy. Microsoft has worked with AMD to produce an exclusive Ryzen Surface Edition processor for its latest device with 8GB of system memory to back it up for doing practically anything you want. The laptop can be opened effortlessly with one finger with the large trackpad and keyboard remaining comfortable even after all-day use. The Surface Connect charging port, which can recharge the device to about 80% in an hour, is accompanied by the USB-A, USB-C, and headphone jack ports to round out the I/O. Head below for more.
You may want to spend some of your savings to pick up a USB-C hub to expand the I/O as you may find that the single USB-A and -C ports are limiting. One option is Anker USB-C 7-in-1 Hub which can be had for $35. This simple little hub connects to your USB-C port and will expand it out into two USB-A 3.0 ports, a single USB-C data port, micro/SD card reader, an HDMI output, and a USB-C power delivery input that can provide up to 85W of charging to your device if it supports PD. Weighing less than 5oz, this hub can slip easily into any laptop bag so it can be set up anywhere at any time.
While the 512GB SSD built into the Surface Laptop above may be enough for most people, you may need more if you work on large projects. We’re currently tracking a deal on the WD 1TB My Passport Ultra Silver Portable External USB-C Hard Drive down within $2 of the 2022 Amazon low at $60. If you’re just looking for a simple backup machine or somewhere to store photos and documents, the metal cover and USB-C connectivity on this HDD at $60 might be worth a closer look.
