It's day three of Amazon's Big Spring Sale and deals on laptops continue to flourish. I browsed today's discounts and found a sweet deal on Microsoft's answer to Apple's MacBook Air.

Launched in June 2024, the Surface Laptop 7 is one of the best laptops for college students, remote workers, and traveling professionals.

Right now, you can get the 15-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 for $1,049 at Amazon right now. Traditionally priced at $1,299, that's $250 in savings and one of the best laptop deals I've spotted this month. It's not the lowest price I've seen for this laptop, but it's a considerable discount.

Best Buy offers this same deal for Total members alongside 25% off Logitech accessories with combined purchases.

As we reported earlier this month, you may see a "frequently returned item" notation on Amazon's Surface Laptop 7 product listing. However, it's unclear why items are frequently returned. Meanwhile, it has an average customer rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars at Best Buy.

Despite the mixed feedback, this laptop passed our rigorous testing and hands-on experience so we still recommend it — especially at this price.

In our review of the 13-inch model Surface Laptop 7, we praised its svelte design, bright display, stellar performance, and long battery life. We gave the Surface Laptop 7 an overall rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars. Sister brand TechRadar gave it a perfect 5 out of 5 stars and named it the Editor's Choice best laptop of 2024.

In one test, our expert reviewer bombarded it with 24 Google Chrome tabs, some of which were running YouTube videos with Spotify streaming in the background. The Surface Laptop 7 kept chugging along with no signs of slowing down.

Though we wish its display was more vibrant, its 120Hz touchscreen allows for smooth navigation and media playback.

At $250 off, the Surface Laptop 7 is worth considering if you prioritize performance and reliable battery life.
