If you are in need of a new work device, the Prime Day has something for you. Amazon is offering the Surface Pro 9 for well under 1,000 euros. This Windows tablet is currently not available at this price anywhere else.

On Prime Day, Amazon offers many discounted tech products. Although there are big „discounts“ advertised, not every deal is a real special offer. However, the Surface Pro 9 is different. The online retailer offers a configuration for 699 euros. A price comparison on established portals shows that this Windows tablet is currently not available at this price from any other online retailer. So, what does the tablet offer?

For the money, you get the Surface Pro 9 with a 13-inch display (2880 x 1920 pixels). As usual, the tablet is equipped with a continuously adjustable kickstand, allowing you to easily place it on the table or on your knees on the go. The Intel Core i5 from the twelfth generation of the processor manufacturer is housed in the device. In addition, it comes with 8 gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of SSD storage. The model with 16 gigabytes of RAM costs 899 euros. Amazon is also cheaper than the competition with this model. Both models come with Windows 11 installed as the operating system.

• Microsoft Surface Pro 9 (8 GB RAM): for 699 euros instead of 1,299 euros*
• Microsoft Surface Pro 9 (16 GB RAM): for 899 euros instead of 1,639 euros*

Unlike the current Surface Pro, this device is not a so-called Copilot-Plus PC. However, this also means that you will have to forgo some AI features such as special webcam filters and live translation with English subtitles. This should not affect your work. And the Copilot app can also be easily installed.

What buyers should keep in mind is that the offer does not include a keyboard. It only includes the tablet. You can purchase the original keyboard separately from Amazon starting at 94 euros (depending on the color). Once again, the online retailer is currently undercutting the competition in this aspect.
