2 Reasons to Buy the Surface Pro 4 & 3 Reasons Not To

Cheaper Surface Pro 4s Have Arrived, Sort Of

That the Surface Pro 4 offers a mature vision of Windows 2-in-1s isn’t the only reason to purchase one now. They’re getting more affordable, sort of. Microsoft is barely cutting the cost of buying a new Surface Pro 4. It is, however, offering ways to get a cheap Surface Pro 4 that’s been refurbished.

The Microsoft Store offers refurbished Surface Pro 4’s with a Surface Pen for as little as $639. You can pick up a Surface Pro 4 with Intel Core i5 processor for $729. That’s still less than you’d pay for a brand new entry-level Surface Pro 4. Keep in mind that you will need to pay $129 for Surface Type Cover.

Buying a refurbished Surface Pro 4 might seem a bit weird at first, but Microsoft stands behind them. They still come with a 1-year limited warranty, making them just as risk-free as purchasing a Surface Pro 4 that’s never been opened.
