Surface Laptop 3 is one of the best notebooks you can buy. It is also one of the most affordable laptops currently on sale.

Amazon currently has the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (256GB) on sale for $999. This is a $300 discount and the best Surface Laptop sale since Cyber Monday. Meanwhile, Amazon is selling the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (128GB) for $799. That's a $200 discount and the cheapest Surface Laptop you can get right now. (The lowest price will continue through Amazon Prime Day.)

Microsoft's review of the Surface Laptop 3 won an Editor's Choice award for its premium design, sharp display, and solid overall performance.

The least expensive configuration on sale has a 13.5" (2256 x 1504) touch display, Core i5-1035G7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. In terms of design, the Surface Laptop 3 closely resembles Apple's MacBook Air. However, while the MacBook Air relies on an 8th generation Intel "Y" processor, the Surface Laptop 3 has a much better spec sheet and a 10th generation Intel CPU.

This new CPU means you get better multitasking performance from the Surface Laptop 3. The Microsoft laptop also offers a better keyboard that provides bouncy keys and proper travel.

This Surface Laptop 3 deal is likely to sell out quickly, so get it while you can.
