You can save $230 on Microsoft's 12.3-inch Surface Pro 7+ tablet before Black Friday. This large tablet can replace your laptop entirely since it has a built-in kickstand with a detachable keyboard. You can expect 8GB of memory, a battery life of up to 15 hours, an

Intel 11th Generation Core i3 processor, and, of course, Windows 11.

On the other hand, you can get the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 with an included Surface Pen and a black surface type cover for $130 more than the pre-mentioned model. Many of the features are still the same, except this model runs on an Intel Core i5 processor and has Windows 10 instead of the latest Windows 11. But we think the included pen and keyboard make the price worth it.
