Originally $999, the Surface Laptop 2 in silver with a Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD costs just $799 after a $200 discount. If you need more storage, the 256GB model now goes for $999, down from $1,299. We recommend this configuration not only because you get our minimum recommended laptop specs, but also because it’s the cheapest model in the new stealthy black color variant.

The Surface Laptop 2 was one of the best laptops released in 2018 and still puts up a good fight against the best laptops available now. Along with its elegant design highlighted by an Alcantara fabric deck, the Surface Laptop 2 offers fast performance, a bright, vivid display and solid battery life, all in a sleek, ultraportable chassis. While we wish it had a USB-C port and faster SSD, the Surface Laptop 2 remains an excellent choice for students or business users who travel frequently.  If you can wait another semester, the Surface Laptop 3 is expected to be unveiled by the end of the year. However, you won’t find a deal that’s as good as this one anytime soon.
