The Surface Pro 9 is Microsoft’s latest flagship 2-in-1, although it’s technically just a tablet – you’ll have to pay extra for the keyboard cover, a necessary accessory for most people.
That can make it very expensive, with price one of the main downsides in our full review. Many of the other negatives relate to the new ARM-based model, but the Intel version still ranks as the best 2-in-1 you can buy.
Understandably, you might only want to buy a Surface Pro 9 when discounts are available. The good news is that there are some great deals available in in both the US and UK this June – here’s everything you need to know.
