Microsoft's Surface Pro 9 has improved on the formula of its sleek Windows-based tablets to create a 2-in-1 device that can comfortably run desktop software but offers the convenience and portability of a tablet. The drawback is the price, but right now you can save $200 on the Surface Pro 9 with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD: $1,599.99 $1,399 at Amazon. Not bad considering the tablet only came out in late October.
This is for an Intel Core i7 device, which is the one option you'll want to go for if you're thinking of doing anything demanding like image or video editing. you'll need to be quick though. One colour's already sold out, and the other options don't have a lot of stock left. Remember that you'll also need to buy the Surface Slim Pen 2 and Type Cover separately if you want to use a stylus and keyboard.
You can learn about our own experience with the tablet in our Surface Pro 9 early review. If you prefer to go for an Apple tablet, see our guide to the best deals on iPads.
