The Samsung Notebook 9 Pro is an affordable alternative to the MacBook Pro. And for a limited time, Microsoft is discounting Samsung's flexible 2-in-1 Windows laptop.

Currently, you can get the 15-inch Samsung Notebook 9 Pro for $999 at Microsoft. This is $250 off the regular list price of $1,249, which is the second lowest price we have seen this laptop drop to.

In fact, it is one of the best laptop deals we have seen this month.

If you're in the market for a laptop that can also be used as a tablet, the Notebook 9 Pro is one of the best 2-in-1s for the money.

This laptop has a 15" (1920 x 1080) touchscreen, a Core i7-8550U processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB solid state drive.

Sister site Laptop Mag reviewed the 13-inch Samsung Notebook 9 Pro and praised its premium design and good performance.

The Samsung Notebook 9 Pro borrows Apple's stylish laptop design; if a MacBook and a 2-in-1 Windows laptop had a baby, it would look like the Notebook 9 Pro.

Samsung's laptop even sports a black keyboard with the same silver deck and bouncy rounded keys. The Notebook 9 Pro's 4.7 x 2.5-inch touchpad is also soft and comfortable to use, making it a must for MacBook fans.

As for connectivity, Samsung has eliminated the USB Type-A port and equipped the Notebook 9 Pro with two Thunderbolt 3 ports, a USB Type-C charging port, a microSD card reader, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

If you don't want to shell out the big bucks for a MacBook Pro, this $999 Samsung Notebook 9 Pro is a solid choice.
