In many respects, Microsoft’s Surface laptop line is the epitome of the modern laptop, but it’s not inexpensive. Beginning with a cheaper price tag, even its most recent “budget” versions have fallen far short. However, a Surface Laptop 7 with a very efficient Snapdragon processor is currently available on eBay for just $599.

The Snapdragon X Plus 10-core processor powers this 13.8-inch 2024 model. Because of the Arm CPU design, it isn’t very good for gaming, but it excels at everything else, especially battery life, which lasts for a day and forever. In addition, it boasts a touchscreen, a webcam that works with Windows Hello, 16GB of RAM—the bare minimum I advise for a Windows laptop—and an unimpressive 256GB of storage.

See the complete evaluation of this laptop design from bestcomputerfinder for additional details. It should be noted that the review unit is a more costly model of the laptop and has a faster X Elite processor, more RAM, more storage, etc. The new 13-inch Surface Laptop that Microsoft introduced this year is still more powerful than this on-sale model, though.

This Surface Laptop 7 is being sold by eBay as “eBay refurbished,” which implies that it should be in like-new condition and that Allstate would cover it for two years. It may remain in stock even if it is 40% off the list price because it is not included in the US Memorial Day discount.
