Microsoft Spring Sale is here and gamers and tech enthusiasts are in for a treat. The tech giant announced a major Spring Sale that discounts several of their products, including Xbox games, Surface laptops, and more. This annual event is always highly anticipated, and the deals this year are especially attractive. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at some of the discounts available and what they mean for those looking to upgrade their tech setup.
Microsoft’s Spring Sale is currently offering discounts on its Surface Pro 9, Surface Laptop 5, Xbox games and controllers, PC games, and some movies. These deals can be found on Microsoft’s website, but Amazon is also matching or surpassing many of these discounted prices. Apple’s AirPods Pro are still being sold at their lowest prices recorded. Using tracking sites like CamelCamelCamel and Keepa, we compare current sale prices to their typical street prices to ensure that our found sales are good deals.
The Surface Pro 9 is considered the best tablet-laptop available on the market. It is lightweight and possesses a smaller footprint than most 2-in-1 laptops while having enough power to edit media and handle light gaming at higher configurations. The tablet’s 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and Intel Core i5 are currently on sale for $961, which is a hundred dollars less than Apple’s 12.9-inch iPad Pro with 128 GB of storage and more than $200 less than the 256GB iPad Pro. Doubling the tablet’s RAM (16GB) and swapping in Intel’s Evo i7 processor for $1,400 is also available, typically being sold for $1,600. Furthermore, doubling the storage on that model is currently $1,600, down from its usual $1,900 price.
The Surface Laptop 5 is also currently on sale for up to $450 off, depending on the model. It’s a solid choice for a mid- to high-end laptop featuring a comfortable keyboard and trackpad experience, in both the 13-inch and 15-inch models. The 13-inch variant with an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD is currently priced at $900 on Amazon, while the 15-inch model starts at $1,100 and can be optioned up to as high as 32GB RAM, an Intel i7 processor, and 1TB of storage, available for $1,950, usually priced at $2,400. Discounts are available for the models in between as well.
Additionally, there are significant discounts on Xbox controllers, games, PC games, and movies. Apple’s latest AirPods Pro are available at their lowest recorded price of $200, matching Black Friday lows. The AirPods Pro features noise cancellation and rubber tips to control outside sounds and provide a better fit. Battery life is decreased to around 4.5 hours when these features are engaged, but the device is sweatproof and utilizes spatial audio to tune the music to your unique ear shape.
In conclusion, Microsoft’s Spring Sale is a great opportunity for gamers and tech enthusiasts to snag some amazing discounts on Xbox games, Surface devices, and other products. With so many options to choose from, it’s never been a better time to upgrade your tech setup, or dive into some new gaming adventures. Whether you’re a long-time Microsoft fan or just dipping your toes into the world of Windows, this sale offers something for everyone. Be sure to check it out before it ends on April 15th!
