Microsoft is offering huge discounts on refurbished Surface Books, now available from $883

Microsoft"s Surface Book is a rather impressive device, but it"s not exactly budget-friendly. Even the cheapest model is priced at $1,499, and doesn"t include the discrete GPU option offered on higher-end models in the range.

But you can get a Surface Book for a lot less, if you"re willing to buy a refurbished model. As you would expect, Microsoft sets the prices for its Certified Refurbished Surface Books considerably lower than those for its new models - but it"s currently offering the refurbished devices at even lower prices than usual:

Model Full price
(new)
Usual price
(refurbished)
Current price
(refurbished)
Intel Core i5
8GB RAM / 128GB SSD
$1,499 $1,149 $883
Intel Core i5
8GB RAM / 256GB SSD / dGPU
$1,899 $1,489 $1,144
Intel Core i7
8GB RAM / 256GB SSD / dGPU
$2.099 $1,789 $1,374
Intel Core i7
16GB RAM / 512GB SSD / dGPU
$2,699 $2,299 $1,766


The Certified Refurbished Surface Books come with a one-year limited warranty, but they"re otherwise identical to their brand-new counterparts. Microsoft is only offering refurbished versions of its "original" Surface Book range; the newer Surface Book with Performance Base models are not yet available in refurbished form.
