Update July 12 @ 11:30 AM ET: Prime Day is over, meaning many of the best discounts of the week have ended. Below, I've linked the best Surface Pro 11 deals that are still live. If you love the Surface Pro family but want a more affordable alternative, the Surface Pro 12-inch with similar specs is now under $700. It doesn't have an OLED display option, and less storage than the model in this deal, but if you're looking to save the most, it's the one to go for.
Microsoft's Surface Pro lineup inspired over a decade of imitators and copycats. While it was not the first 2-in-1, it was the device that refined the form factor and earned mainstream appeal. Heck, even Apple copied the Surface Pro.
The Surface Pro 11 marked a large leap forward for the lineup. It features a refined design, works with a new Flex Keyboard, and is powered by a Snapdragon X processor (unless you're a business user and really need an Intel chip).
Right now, you can pick up the Surface Pro 11 for $891.99. That deal isn't quite as good as what we saw during Amazon Prime Day, but it is still a nice bit of savings. You can also save on the Surface Pro 11 by bundling it with a keyboard.
Our Editor-in-Chief called the Surface Pro 11 a "stunning achievement by Microsoft and Qualcomm" and said the device made the original Surface Pro vision a reality. The Surface Pro is sleek, performs well when plugged in or when running on battery, and has very good battery life.
When covering a different deal, our Senior Editor Zac Bowden said, "The Surface Pro 11 really is the best of Microsoft and Surface. It's 11 years of form-factor perfection, with a gorgeous aluminum chassis that's premium to hold. It also has the iconic built-in kickstand that still feels incredible to open and close."
It's always tempting to get the most powerful PC, but in many cases, you can save money and still get exactly what you need.
The Snapdragon X Plus inside this version of the Surface Pro 11 is great for everyday computing and productivity. There are people who need the extra power of the Snapdragon X Elite, but that processor is definitely not a requirement to have a great computing experience.
Considering the sizeable price jump to get the Snapdragon X Elite, I'd strongly recommend checking if a Snapdragon X Plus-powered PC can handle your workflow.
For context, the Surface Pro 11 with a Snapdragon X Elite starts at $1,699.99 (though it's currently on sale). Admittedly, that model also has more storage than the entry-level Surface Pro 11 with a Snapdragon X Plus, but that's still a big price jump.
This is the lowest price I've ever seen for this version of the Surface Pro 11. It's even lower than the record-breaking price seen earlier this week. Note that pricing may vary depending on the color you choose.
Surface Pro 11 vs. Surface Pro 12-inch
Microsoft didn't do itself any favors when naming the Surface Pro 12-inch. Considering that the tech giant announced the Surface Pro 11 in May 2024 and the Surface Pro 12-inch in May 2025, many assumed the latter is a successor to the former. But that is not the case.
The Surface Pro 11 and Surface Pro 12-inch are sold side-by-side and offer different strengths and weaknesses.
The Surface Pro 11 has a nice selection of ports, a better front camera than its sibling, and an option for 5G connectivity. The particular model highlighted here has an LCD screen, but there is also an OLED model available (and it's also on sale).
The Surface Pro 12-inch is more compact, has a ventless design, and uses a different method for storing a stylus that's friendlier to tablet users.
Above all, though, the Surface Pro 12-inch is currently on offer for just $684.99. This alone gives it a huge advantage, and almost $200 back in your pocket compared to the Surface Pro 11 deal featured here.
