Best Buy has lopped $150 off the prices of Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 and the Surface Book 2, and its online store wraps up its Memorial Day sale.
The price of the 128 GB 12.3-inch Surface Pro 4 has been reduced from $1,000 to $850 and the 256 GB version of the laplet, also being a 12.3-inch display, has been brought down from $1,300 to $1,150. Meanwhile, the 256 GB Surface Book had its $1,900 price tag trimmed to $1,750.
The 13.5-inch face of the Surface Book puts out a pixel count of 3,000 x 2,000, which is, in some configurations, driven by a discrete Nvidia GeForce graphics processing unit that has 1 GB of DDR5 high speed RAM. The basic Surface Book's graphics are handled by an Intel 520 GPU.
The Surface Book comes in configurations that include an Intel Core i5 matched with 128 GB of solid-state storage space and 8 GB of RAM or 256 GB of storage space and 8 GB of RAM. Other configurations of the Surface Book match an Intel Core i7 with 512 GB of storage space and 16 GB of RAM or 1 TB of storage space and 16 GB of RAM.
The Surface Pro 4 comes with up to a full terabyte of solid-state storage space in one of its Intel Core i7 configurations. Buyers can select from 4 GB of RAM to 16 GB in both i5 and i7 setups.
The tablet has a 12.3-inch display that outputs a resolution of 2,736 x 1,824. It has a chat cam that has a resolution of 5 megapixels and a rear camera that captures images at 8 megapixels.
Before finalizing those purchases, it may be prudent to take note of a problem that has been bugging the Surface Book. It's not exactly a nightmare, but what some users are calling "sleep of death" is a bug that has been crashing some of the Surface Books over night.
The issue seems to occur when the affected Surface Books have been in sleep mode for hours. When their users try to wake them, the laplets crash.
If this does not hold you back, however, head over to Best Buy to grab either the Surface Pro 4 or Surface Book now before Memorial Day ends.
