Earlier this year I reviewed Microsoft Surface Pro 12and it was and remains the absolute best Windows 2-in-1 device I've had the pleasure of using. For Black Friday it's also now cheaper than ever on Amazon. You can pick it up for $899.99, which is $500 off the original price of $1,399.99.

That's a reduction of about 36%, which should free up some money for the keyboard attachment, which is sold separately and is quite important if you want to use this thing as a laptop. In both cases, you'll have a Windows 11 device that you can go anywhere and do anything with (and the keyboard doubles as a protective case).

What makes the Microsoft Surface Pro 12 so good? It has a great screen, durable design, and easily switches between tablet and laptop modes. You can be creating digital images one minute and editing spreadsheets the next. Few devices give you this kind of flexibility, Windows-based or not.

The model I've highlighted here includes a Snapdragon X Elite processor, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, which is more than enough to handle most computing tasks. If you don't want to play the latest top-tier games or do any serious video encoding, the Surface Pro 12 will really serve you well.

Does Amazon have Black Friday deals?

Yes, Amazon has Black Friday sales, but the prices aren't always what they seem. Use the price tracker to make sure you're getting the best deal, or contact guides such as our live blog that use price trackers for you. And if you have an Amazon Prime membership, make the most of it.

Are Black Friday Deals Worth Spending?

In short, yes, Black Friday still offers discounts that may be rare the rest of the year. If you want to buy something or are buying gifts, now is the time to look for discounts on what you need, especially technology sales, home improvement productsAnd fitness equipment. Of course, if you need to save money, the best way to save money is to not buy anything.

Are Cyber ​​Monday deals better than Black Friday?

In the past, Black Friday was larger for big retailers and higher-end technology and appliances, while Cyber ​​Monday was for lower-cost technology and gave small businesses the opportunity to compete online. However, at present the distinction is practically meaningless. Every major retailer will be offering sales on both days, and the smart move is to know what you want, use price trackers, or contact guides such as our live blog who use price trackers for you and don't worry about finding the perfect time.
