Get a powerful laptop that doubles up as a versatile tablet with the Microsoft 13" Surface Pro 8. It has the hardware to handle any task you throw at it, while still maintaining the extra light weight to make carrying around a breeze.

The Surface Pro 8 has a 11th generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor that's perfect for fast multitasking, working across multiple tabs, and running the programs and apps you need to use every day.

The Surface Pro 8 comes with the new Windows 11 pre-installed so you can just enjoy the upgraded environment hassle-free. It features the time-proven apps and software of the previous version, now with faster loading, Android apps compatibility and beautiful and sleek design.

Microsoft Surface Pro Signature Typecover - Alcantara Black

Transform your Surface Pro into a fully-functioning laptop with the Microsoft Surface Pro Signature Typecover. It's covered in beautiful Alcantara fabric, which is typically found in high-end car interiors and darkens beautifully as it ages.

Featuring a full mechanical keyset, large glass trackpad and backlit keys, it performs like a high-quality laptop keyboard. At the top of the keyboard there's a built-in storage tray your Surface Slim Pen 2 (sold separately). It's in the perfect place for you to quickly pick it up and do some on-screen writing.

The Signature Typecover is incredibly light and thin, without compromising on durability. Despite adding next to no weight to your Surface Pro, the Typecover folds over the screen to provide reliable protection against knocks and scrapes.

    i dont understand how they can justify charging this amount for specs which are comparable to a £400 laptop.

    Then you don't understand the target demographic, their usage and their disposable income.

    Wondering JL will provide the same deal as they provide 2 years warranty, Surface tablet is not great in durability......

    I got this deal a couple of weeks ago. Here's a really nice case that protects the device with the keyboard attached. And the tablet is easily removable if you want to use it as a tablet.

    What are Currys like with returns? Thinking of returning mine as I don't think the form factor can replace my current laptop. Literally just opened and turned on once and that's it....
    Or I guess someone could take it on here
    AamirQuazi's avatar

    Once open - good luck with that!

    But get one of those selling offers on ebay i would have thought you could sell it for the original cost.

    Is this deal really that good when it has only 8gb ram. Am I missing something, why is this deal so good? (edited)
    Flyer01's avatar
    Flyer01
    Yes, you are missing something. It's called research. Start with what price these things originally sold at. The rest I leave to you....

    I know someone will comment about the 8gb of ram, but is that really a problem? This isn't a gaming laptop, it's office use mainly, so surely 8gb will be enough? (edited)
    Mr_Chondo's avatar
    Mr_Chondo
    indeed - I have several laptops ranging from 8GB RAM (this one) all the way to 64GB RAM (Alienware). For every day browsing and office apps, and multomedia such as youtube, the 8GB RAM is certainly not a limitation.

    bought for an upgrade to my SP6 which has been bullet proof ,and was/is 8gb 128 gb i5 ,
    It does feel heaver ,
    also use a surface go2 which is surprisingly good ,coupled with a dock should be able to go to a folding wall desk and get rid of my tower ,maybe use that as a hidden server

    Did you find the upgrade worth it?

    Warning this only has 8GB of RAM and can’t change it. It’s slow as really needs at least 16GB
    Mr_Chondo's avatar
    Mr_Chondo
    I don't find it slow - depends on use case scenario. According to system info, my usage rarely exceeds 4-5GB in everyday use.

    It's a great deal but 8gb ram will massively limit performance. Shame.
    D.Crockett's avatar
    D.Crockett
    Depends what you are using it for, for most 8 gig is plenty in personal use or business as most will not get past office applications, video calls and surfing the web along with running some bespoke software. If you are using it to run intensive design programmes or gaming then I agree with you, but I dont know why you would even be considering a surface pro in the first place, as that is not what it is for. People get way to caught up on RAM in comparison to the amount they actually use of it (i blame the phone manufacturers for convincing everyone that they need more and more and more RAM, when they don't, as they have no innovation to sell anymore)

    Are there any reviews with the i5-1135G7 Processor? Most of them seem to be for the i7 model.

    Currys cancelled the order. Seems like they are not honouring it now. Anyone got the shipping confirmation?
    garyho1220's avatar

    I got the order number but no shipping information yet.

    This is a fantastic deal if Currys honours it. A further 6% discount from work benefits makes this tempting.

    I currently use SP6 + Keyboard from 2019 bought for £799

    Bought it 2 weeks ago, lovely machine, 8gb more than enough, ideal as as my office machine, using it for one note, office apps, Citrix and web browsing. Was considering the 9/i7/16gb but that was over kill for what I needed
  38. AamirQuazi's avatar

    I bought one on the last deal… £5 off with some code and then bought the vouchers via topgiftcard to get £37cashback + bought it via topcashback for another £31 cashback!

    need to update the graphics card using the intel update tool to get the variable refresh rate.

    battery seems ok-  but its heavy as a note taking device - compared to an ipad.
