The Surface Laptop 5 costs $699.99 (discounted by $300) on Amazon and Best Buy, while the Surface Pro 9 costs $749.99 (discounted by $350). The two versions with a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU, 8GB RAM, and 256GB storage are at their lowest prices ever, according to The Verge.
The Right Deals If You're Looking For Functionality
Despite its age, users can still enjoy its powerful and portable with a stylish design and a large 3:2 display with Dolby Vision IQ for HDR video. Despite the limited port options, Thunderbolt 4 support, which allows faster transfer of large files and connects it to a 4K monitor, distinguishes it from its predecessor. This Microsoft Surface Notebook 5 is a good Windows notebook for daily usage.
Microsoft updated the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 incrementally, per Wired. Unfortunately, there's no fingerprint scanner, the bezels are too thick, and Microsoft no longer provides AMD chips as an option. However, the laptop's keyboard and exterior are elegant.
Meanwhile, the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 may appeal to those seeking a laptop-tablet hybrid. With its Intel-powered setup, bright 120Hz screen, and different color options, the Surface Pro 9 has a kickstand, pen, and detachable keyboard. Microsoft may unveil updated versions of these gadgets at its AI event in late May, but the present models operate well for those who can't wait.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is light enough to carry around easily, powerful enough to do daily computer duties, and has a respectable screen for watching films. Although it cannot be classified as revolutionary, this laptop/tablet works well, according to Tom's Guide.

MacBook Air and Video Game Discounts
If you are searching for a MacBook Air, here's a great deal: Amazon is selling the newest 15-inch MacBook Air with an M3 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage for $1,574 ($125 off), a new low. The 15-inch variant is an excellent laptop for general usage, much like its 13-inch brother. It has a crisper, larger screen, and better speakers than the 13-inch model.
The still-excellent MacBook Air M2s and the Macbook Air M3s are almost exact replicas. They feature the same chassis, display, battery, speakers, camera, connectors, and setup choices.
For some, the most interesting new feature of the MacBook Air M3 is that, unlike the M2 and M1, it can now power two external displays while the lid is closed.
The Macbook Air M3 model is worth $100 more since its CPU is faster, the microphone and Wi-Fi are better, and Apple quadrupled the storage speed on the 256GB version, solving a significant issue with the base M2 Air.
Meanwhile, if you are a gaming fan, here's a great deal: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X / S, and PlayStation 5 physical copy now comes at a discounted price of $29.99 ($20 off its original price) on Best Buy and Amazon.
