Amazon Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 (Intel Core i5-1235U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $599.99 at Amazon (save $200)

Featuring a sleek, sturdy build and a stellar keyboard, last year's Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 makes a great laptop for on-the-go students with low-key workloads. Our biggest gripe with it is that it costs too much compared to similarly specced laptops — but thanks to a big new price drop, that concern is currently null and void.

As of July 24, the base configuration of the Surface Laptop Go 3 is on sale for just $599.99 at Best Buy. That's a $200 savings (or 25% off) and its lowest price since the ultraportable launched in Oct. 2023. Amazon was matching that price at the time of writing, but only in two of its four colorways (Ice Blue and Sandstone, not Platinum or Sage) — and both were on backorder at the time of writing.

Meanwhile, the Microsoft Store itself had the Surface Laptop Go 3 listed for $649.99 (or just $150 off) when we last checked.

The Surface Laptop Go 3 measures in at a compact 12.4 inches and weighs just 2.49 pounds (or 0.3 pounds less than the latest 13-inch Apple MacBook Air), sporting a touchscreen display with an elegant aluminum lid. When she reviewed it last fall, Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon raved about overall build quality: "For a notebook that starts at $800, the Surface Laptop Go 3 feels like a $1,200 laptop," she wrote, adding that its keyboard is "one of the best I’ve ever used."

This particular model comes with an entry-level 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage. Power users won't be impressed by its 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, which is now two generations removed (and the main reason why we think it's worth waiting to buy on sale). Still, it's totally workable for everyday productivity. "I can see this being the daily driver of young students or Gen Z users seeking a laptop that can handle casual usage with style and sophistication," Gedeon said.
