If you can't decide between getting a new laptop or a tablet, why not split the difference and get both? Microsoft combines the power of a full-featured PC with the convenience of a tablet with the Surface Pro 9. Released in October 2022, the 13-inch Surface Pro 9 is currently on sale for $1,399.99 ($200 off) and makes for a great device for businesses, telecommuters, and freelancers.

Microsoft's Surface Pro 9 isn't your average tablet. When paired with the Surface Pro Signature Keyboard and Surface Slim Pen 2 (both sold separately), it becomes a workstation capable of virtually anything a desktop can do. The powerful tablet comes with 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB of RAM and either a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 or i7 processor. However, this $200 deal is only available on the 16GB and 32GB varieties, both of which come with the i7 standard. You'll have plenty of space to store your necessary applications and documents, with a 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB SSD. To take home the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 for $1,399.99, you'll need to buy the 16GB RAM, 256GB configuration.
