February 18 update: Microsoft's sale has ended, but Best Buy is offering up to $300 off the Surface Laptop 3, with prices starting at $799.99.

Microsoft's Surface laptop is one of the best laptops you can buy, but also one of the most expensive. However, like many retailers, the Microsoft Store is cutting prices site-wide for Presidents Day.

Best Buy is offering the Microsoft Laptop 3 for $799.99 for a limited time. This is a $200 discount and the best price we have seen for a Surface Laptop so far.

In its review of the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3, sister site LaptopMag gave the machine its Editors' 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, a Core i5-1035G7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 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 processor means better multitasking performance for the Surface Laptop 3. The Microsoft laptop also offers a better keyboard, providing bouncy keys and proper travel.
