Cyber Monday sales are already popping off, and we’ve just spotted a great deal on Microsoft’s latest flagship laptop, the Surface Laptop 5. Usually, the Surface Laptop 5 retails for around $999, but right now you can find one for the same retail price as a Surface Laptop Go 3, meaning the Surface Laptop 5 can be had for just $799 right now.
There’s more good news! This deal comes from Best Buy, one of the more trusted retailers with excellent customer support and an easy return process.

Microsoft’s answer to the MacBook Air
The Surface Laptop 5, as its name implies, is Microsoft’s 5th-generation Surface laptop. It features a traditional clamshell design with no quirks to the overall form factor. It features a beautiful external chassis that looks good on any desk, and features one of the best keyboards and trackpads found on a Windows laptop in 2023.
Surface Laptop 5 can be configured in either 13.5-inch or 15-inch screen sizes, and both are rocking Intel 12th-Gen Intel Core i5 or i7 processors under the hood. The $799 model includes a 13.5-inch screen, an Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD storage to boot. It’s also available in a number of colors, including Platinum, Black, Sandstone, and Sage.
In our Surface Laptop 5 review, I said the Surface Laptop 5 is Microsoft’s MacBook Air competitor product. It’s a straight up laptop, just like the MacBook Air, with the only quirks to its design coming in the form of an Alcantara keyboard deck on the 13.5-inch Platinum model, and a touchscreen as standard across all configurations.
Compared to the Surface Laptop Go 3, the Surface Laptop 5 features a bigger screen with a higher resolution screen, backlit keyboard, and overall higher quality chassis. Considering $799 is the price you normally pay for a Surface Laptop Go 3, paying that for the Surface Laptop 5 is a no brainer really.
Enhance the Surface Laptop 5 with these accessories
