At its discounted £799 asking price, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 is very hard to beat when it comes to design, performance, and value for money. You get a Snapdragon X Plus chip, a respectable 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD to store your files, apps, and even some lightweight games.

We don't award many 5-star ratings at TechRadar. But the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 is one of the few laptops that earned its stripes.

Not only does the performance match or even beat out other popular, more expensive laptops like the Dell XPS 13 (2024) and Asus Vivobook S 15, but the sleek, simplistic design is also perfect for long productivity sessions. Plus, at just 3.67 lbs (1.66kg), the Surface Laptop 7 is nice and light, making it easy to slip into a tote bag or backpack for commuting.

I'm highlighting what I think to be the sweet spot here, with a 512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. This gives you enough room to store your important files and applications, as well as enough memory to multitask without bogging everything down. However, you can upgrade both of those specs, as well as the CPU, for a bit of extra cash if you're looking for more power.

This laptop was already a solid deal at its full price, but when you tack on the discount from this early Amazon Prime Day deal, it's hard not to recommend it. This is the perfect Windows laptop for students heading back to school, so don't let this deal pass you by!
