Running until September 11, the Redmond giant is offering discounts on budget tablets to future-proof laptops, headsets, gaming accessories, and everything in between. As summer draws to a close and parents or guardians begin to organize their school shopping lists, the independent sales launched by vendors, including Microsoft, are a great opportunity to purchase the equipment necessary for modern learning – a laptop, often, being the bare minimum to access online assignments and classes – for a substantial discount. With the increasing cost of living in mind, this year, Microsoft has also extended its price promise window, offering customers the chance to claw back cash if they buy something from the Microsoft Store and the price is dropped within 30 days (or 60 days for most Surface devices). Check out our top picks in the back-to-school sale below. Other deals of note include: For the best discount, select the Surface Go 3 with an Intel Core i3 processor, LTE, 8GB RAM, and 128GB SSD. The tablet is available in black or platinum. Microsoft’s cheapest configuration starts at $399. As part of the bundle, you choose a Surface Pro keyboard for $50, reduced from $139. You can save up to $339 if you select a higher-tier tablet.
