As a brief aside, the Apple Store's usual Black Friday gift card offer is now live through Dec. 2; M2 and M3 MacBooks come with free vouchers worth up to $200. That doesn't beat any of the dollars-off discounts available elsewhere, but it could be a practical option for those enmeshed in the Apple ecosystem.

This 2024 Microsoft Surface Pro laptop is currently on sale for Black Friday on Amazon, priced at $879 after a significant 27% discount from its original list price of $1,199. On top of that, another model—the Microsoft Surface Pro laptop with 256GB of storage—is available $845, which is a 15% savings from its list price of $999.

It means if you like the idea of Apple's iPads and MacBooks, but prefer using Windows 11, then Microsoft's Surface devices are great alternatives, and below you'll find all the best Black Friday deals on a range of Surface devices that I've found.
