As a brief aside, the Apple Store's usual Black Friday gift card offer will be live starting Nov. 29; M2 and M3 MacBooks will come with free vouchers worth up to $200. That doesn't beat any of the dollars-off discounts available elsewhere, but it could be a practical option for those enmeshed in the Apple ecosystem.

This 2024 Microsoft Surface Pro laptop is currently on sale for Black Friday on Amazon, priced at $879 after a significant 27% discount from its original list price of $1,199. On top of that, another model—the Microsoft Surface Pro laptop with 256GB of storage—is available $845, which is a 15% savings from its list price of $999.

One huge highlight is the latest Microsoft Surface Laptop at Amazon for $1,099.99 (was $1,299.99). That's a $200 saving off the regular price, but crucially, this is an all-time low for the laptop. Since its launch earlier this year, the laptop has rarely dipped in price until the last few weeks.
