Microsoft makes the Surface Pro 11, but it isn't the best place to buy one.

Microsoft's Surface Pro 11 starts shipping in just a few weeks. Preorders for the Copilot+ PC are already live, giving you a few options when picking up the 2-in-1. You may assume that Microsoft is the best place to purchase a Surface Pro 11. After all, the tech giant makes the PC. But that's not the case. Instead, it's Best Buy that has the best bundle right now.

Microsoft's new flagship 2-in-1 is here, ushering in a wave of Copilot+ PCs. The new Surface Pro has an OLED panel and Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X processors. Best Buy Plus members can get a free 50-inch TV when preordering a Surface Pro 11, plus the usual perks with a membership.

Best place to buy a Surface Pro 11

The price of the Surface Pro 11 doesn't change from retailer to retailer, at least at the moment. That means you must look at what comes bundled with the PC. Another factor that comes into play is the return policy protection options. With those in mind, Best Buy is the best place to buy the Surface Pro 11. You can get a free 50-inch television when you buy a Surface Pro 11, as long as you're a Best Buy Plus member. Specifically, you'll get an Insignia 50" Class F30 Series 4K UHD TV. That television usually retails for between $200 and $300 on its own.

Given that a Best Buy Plus membership costs significantly less than the TV, you could even sign up for a membership to take advantage of the offer.

My Best Buy Plus members get access to exclusive deals through the retailer. They also get free two-day shipping and an extended 60-day return window. A Best Buy Plus membership costs $49.99 per year.

If you shop at Best Buy often or need additional perks, you can opt to get a My Best Buy Total membership for $179.99 per year. That membership gets you all of the perks of a Best Buy Plus membership plus protection plans, 24/7 tech support, VIP member support, and 20% off repairs.

Other options

While Best Buy is the best option regarding what you get as part of a bundle, it's not the only retailer with live Surface Pro 11 preorders. Costco seems to have an exclusive Surface Pro 11 model with specs unavailable elsewhere. You can also purchase the Copilot+ PC through Antonline. Of course, Microsoft has preorders available for the Surface Pro 11.

Assuming Costco's product listing for the Surface Pro 11 is correct, there appears to be a version exclusive to the retailer. The model at Costco has a Snapdragon X Plus processor, 1TB of storage, and an LCD screen. That combination of specs doesn't seem to be available anywhere else.

    I just bought a Surface Pro 9 win11 pro and its the biggest piece of junk I've ever owned. Screen crashes constantly the on screen keyboard is a bad joke. Its slow as molasses up hil in the winter. This Tablet 11 pile of crap will be no different.

    Microsoft needs to stop trying to build hardware they're horrible at it.

    I've had a Surface 3, Surface Pro 5, Surface Pro 7 and Surface Go and they've all been excellent. You just got a dud item. It doesn't mean the line itself is dud. Send it back to them and get it replaced. Every model of PC and even every product will have a few duds so this is nothing specific to Microsoft or Surface. It amazes me that people can't think beyond their own immediate environment. Do you really think that that's how all Surfaces work and everyone else just hasn't noticed? When people get defective products they have them replaced. That's how the world works. Less self-pity.

    You must be trolling? I've owned an i7 Surface Book 2 13in since 2018 and it's been absolutely fantastic with nearly zero issues. And after I upgraded to W11 in 2021, it became even better, more battery efficient, and MUCH more fluid in software and touch responsiveness. I don't think you bought a legitimate Surface product, dude. Microsoft's hardware quality is 2nd to none, even besting Apple in some regards.

    You most likely got a defective unit and should've gotten it replaced. All my Surface devices, including my current SP6 still run like brand new. Actually, with Windows 11 it runs a lot more smoother. Somehow I'm even able to use Photoshop normally on it lol.

    Microsoft may have issues, but it definitely isn't on the hardware side. They've always been great at hardware, it's the software they've been struggling and repeating the same mistakes with in recent years.

    In Canada, Costco has a bundle deal SP11 (1TB/16GB RAM) + Keyboard w/ Pen + 2 year warranty for $2,149.99 CAD, cheaper than MS's own website. But unfortunately, it's only available in black, it's not the Flex Keyboard, and it's not the OLED version. But I guess it's decent for those who don't care for those 2 items.
