When is the best time to buy a Microsoft Surface? You can look for Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals in 2024 or buy anytime on Back Market.
Many retailers offer Microsoft Surface Black Friday deals, and some of those deals look good. For example, in 2023, you could get:
$800 off select devices at Best Buy
44% off various Surface Pro models at Amazon
Up to $600 off the Surface Pro 8 at Microsoft
While some retailers start offering Black Friday deals on Microsoft Surface devices from as early as October, it may be that the best deals for 2024 are yet to come.
Shopping on Back Market means you can get great discounts during every season, without putting yourself through the stress of shopping on the busiest day of the year. Many of those discounts are equal to or even better than the ones you might see on Black Friday from other retailers. While the latest models may not always be on the site, new stock comes in all the time. Or, you can opt for a slightly older model with great performance for a significantly lower price than the latest edition. As of November 2024, this is how Back Market compares to Amazon sale prices:
Model/Make | Back Market* | Retailers ** |
Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 12" | $566.00 | $567.18 (Amazon) |
Microsoft Surface Pro 4 12" | $170.00 | $349.00 (Amazon) |
Microsoft Surface Pro 7 12" | $329.00 | $559.97 (Amazon) |
Microsoft Surface Book 2 13" | $279.00 | $244.99 (Amazon) |

Black Friday is a great time to find discounts on laptops like the Microsoft Surface. That said, the absolute best time to buy a new tablet or laptop is when your current device no longer meets your needs. Luckily, at Back Market, you don’t need to brave the sales shopping to find a great deal. With Microsoft Surface prices as low as, or even lower than Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale prices, shopping on Back Market means the best time to buy is whenever you’re ready.
The cheapest Microsoft Surface price right now is $107.00 on Back Market. This is for the Microsoft Surface 3 10-inch Atom model with 64GB of storage, 2GB of memory and 1.6GHz processor speed.
You can also find discounts on more recent Microsoft Surface models at Back Market, including:

The Microsoft Surface Pro X is super thin, ultra light and has a slick, refined design. It’s comfortable to type on and features a 10MP rear camera and 5MP front camera. The battery life makes this model better for those who are happy to be plugged in. Prices start at just $658.99 on Back Market, while the best Black Friday deal so far is $1,099.99 on Best Buy.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 comes with an impressive 10MP rear camera and 5MP front camera, two USB-C ports, a sleek design and reliable battery life. It’s ideal for people who are often on the move and don’t want to be plugged in all the time. Prices start at just $739.00 on Back Market, with the current best Black Friday deal being $789.00 on Amazon.
The Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 has excellent sound quality, enhanced responsive touchscreen technology and a range of productivity and accessibility options. Battery life is around 10 hours, or 7.5 if streaming or downloading video. Prices on Back Market start at $843.00, while the best Black Friday deal so far this year is $935.00 at Best Buy.
There will certainly be Black Friday deals on the Microsoft Surface from multiple retailers, and many of those discounts are already available. However, if you don’t need to buy right now, you can relax in the knowledge that similar deals are available on Back Market all year round.
If you genuinely need to replace your tablet or laptop around the time of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, then you may find a great price. However, be aware that the discounts you see may not be as good as they seem. One analysis found that many Black Friday discounts are just an illusion, as retailers hike their prices up in the preceding months to make the sales appear better than they really are.
When you shop refurbished on Back Market, you can access Black Friday deals on Microsoft Surface and other tech all year round, without having to wait for sales. In addition, every purchase comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a warranty for at least a year, so you can rest assured your new purchase will be up to scratch. And with prices as low as, or lower than, Black Friday deals in all seasons, you can upgrade when you want to, rather than just because it’s time for the sales.
When you trade in old tech at Back Market, you can either get even bigger discounts on the products you want to buy, or get some cash in your pocket. Get more money to spend on gifts or on yourself this holiday season.
