I've tested hundreds of laptops, and the only Surface Pro I've ever liked is now on sale for Black Friday at an unbeatable price

The Surface Pro 11 is the only Surface Pro device I've ever liked, making it easy for me to recommend when I reviewed it last year, but now that you can get the Microsoft Surface Pro 11 (device only) for just $999.99 at Best Buy, it's an even better purchase.

You'll still need to purchase a compatible keyboard/cover if you don't already have one (Surface Pro 8 and 9 Pro Keyboards are compatible with the Surface Pro 11), but the Surface Pro Keyboard is on sale for $143.99 (a $36 discount), and the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard and Surface Slim Pen bundle is also on sale for $359.99 (a $139.99 savings), so if you don't already have a Surface Pro keyboard, the overall package is much cheaper thanks to Black Friday.

With Black Friday deals rolling out in earnest this week, the Microsoft Surface Pro 11 is definitely going to see a lot of attention from customers, but these sale prices are some of the best Black Friday laptop deals you're going to find just about anywhere. So, don't hesitate to jump on these if you want to lock in these prices, since I don't expect to see them drop much further, if at all, later this week.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 11 is the first device in this line that actually won me over, and that's largely down to the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite SoC that powers it.

Given that it's designed on ARM64 architecture, it sips power compared to most Intel and AMD chips, rivaling the kind of longevity you only really find in a MacBook with an M-series chip.

A lot of software makers are also developing their apps to be ARM-native, meaning they won't have to go through a translation layer to work with the new Qualcomm chips, so the performance of this laptop will only improve over time for many apps you use every day.
