Want a cheaper Surface Pro 6 than Amazon's?

[Rss Bot 1]

If you're after a shiny new Surface Pro 6 then it's hard to go wrong with Amazon's current Prime Day deals. Right now Prime members can get a 12.3-inch Surface Pro 6 for £749.99 – that's £279 off the RRP, and that's a pretty sweet deal for possibly the best 2-in-1 laptops on the market.

But hang on a second; is that the best price you can get a Surface Pro 6 for? It definitely is on Amazon, but if you look around you'll find the likes of John Lewis, AO.com and Curry's selling a 12.3-inch Surface Pro 6 for just £689. So what's going on there?

The difference you might have missed is in the specs – these £689 models only have 4GB of memory rather than the 8GB you'll find in the Amazon offer; not only that, the cheaper model packs a Intel Core m3 processor rather than the Core i5 at Amazon.

And here's the Amazon deal as a reminder:

So what you're getting for £60 less than Amazon's Prime Day offer is a Surface Pro 6 that isn't quite as good. Not terrible, by any means, but definitely not as powerful. The difference is probably best summed up by the product descriptions over at AO.com - while it says that the 8GB model 'delivers seamless multitasking', the 4GB model 'easily handles light multitasking'. However, if you're after a Surface Pro for work then you probably still want to head to Amazon.

However if you're after a Surface Pro and you're not too bothered about performance, but even at its discounted price the Amazon offer is just a little too steep for you, then this is a fairly tidy alternative. You should still get plenty of use out of it and look good doing so. Our opinion on the matter? We'd totally pay the £60 extra for the one on Amazon, though.
