Deal Details
This is the full bundle with the pen. Also includes a year of 365 Family.
I bought one of these 8GB bundles this spring and it's great for browsing or light business trips as a compliment to a more powerful machine back home. Would not recommend as a primary device, but at this price it's far more usable and compelling than an iPad Pro.

You must be military or dependant
This is not a gamers model. Yes I'd love 16gb but you can't beat the price. And the extras alone are worth close to 300 plus.

- 8GB is inadequate. (Typing this on an 8GB Surface Pro 7... Never again!)
- The i5 models have a "fanless" design. This is a terrible design decision. I need to run a small desk fan behind mine. Otherwise it gets throttled within 3-5 minutes of turning it on, and you get the performance of a CPU from the year 2000...
- The black also scratches up really bad. (It's aluminum under the thin coating.) My wife has a black SP7. Bad decision.
- 3-4 hr battery life in reality. (Look it up on Reddit if you believe MS instead of me... The 12 hr claim is ludicrous.)
If you can live with their many compromises, SPs are the best portable productivity laptops. I've been rocking them for eight years now. Would love to ditch them, alas there is nothing better. So I just travel with a 65W power bank.

And yes, they were magnesium alloy indeed. It's the same silver color showing from under the thin coating. It's a really, really ugly look only after a couple business trips.

But, I suppose without a case and casually tossing into a bag with other hard items, keys, pens with metal clips&tips, etc.? Sure thing. Welcome to the science of hardness where the harder object always wins. For travel, most people I've seen are tossing them into a softside sleeve/case but using them without an always-on case.
