Microsoft periodically spins out deals for its Surface devices, and since it’s is the holiday season, deals on hardware is a given. For holiday season this year, the Redmond giant is offering some solid deals on the Surface Book 2, with discounts on the UK Microsoft Store reaching £686 for the 13-inch model running an 8th-Gen Core i7 with a dedicated GPU. The 15-inch Surface Book 2’s lowest SKU is being sold for $1,699, its lowest price ever.
While the Surface Book 2 is more than two years old and well overdue for a refresh, the higher-end SKUs are still a worthy buy for the kind of specs that the devices come with, depending on one’s workflow. For Surface fans that have been holding out for a Book 2, especially in the U.S. and UK, there couldn’t be a better time, since Microsoft is offering up to $500/£686 in discounts on the top-of-the-line models with dedicated graphics, quad-core Intel Core i7 processors for both, the 13 and 15-inch models.
