If Microsoft's "New" Surface Pro models don't impress you that much with their apparent value for money, we're afraid you no longer have a lot of buying options for the company's "old" Pro 9 tablet with a 13-inch display and 12th Generation Intel Core processing power.But some of the 2022-released options still available in 2024 are arguably more compelling than ever before, starting with an 8GB RAM-packing variant that Best Buy is selling at a new record low price of $714.99 on "clearance" for a little while now.

As hard to eclipse as that killer deal might seem at first glance, Woot is currently charging just $35 more for a Surface Pro 9 with double the memory, which certainly feels like better bang for your buck. Yes, if you hurry, you can get a whopping 16 gigs of RAM in addition to a zippy 256GB solid-state drive and a fittingly powerful 10-core Intel Core i5 processor at only $749.99.

If you're wondering what the "catch" is, you should note that these are "factory reconditioned" units sold by the Amazon-owned e-tailer at an unprecedented discount. That can be a bit of an inconvenience for fairly obvious reasons, but if you ask us, it should absolutely not be treated as a total dealbreaker with a full 1-year Microsoft warranty included.

That's exactly what you typically get with brand-new, unused, and unopened Surface devices, and according to Woot, these reconditioned products are "as close to new as you can get without technically being new." That includes a thorough inspection process and a restoration to "fully working condition" conducted by the "original manufacturer or a certified partner."

In short, you will almost definitely be pleased with both the way your Surface Pro 9 looks and how it works if you decide to take advantage of this outstanding promotion, which is technically set to run until Friday, June 28. Given the super-premium design and ultra-advanced specifications of this bad boy (even by 2024 standards), there's a solid chance Woot will run out of inventory well before that date, so if you like uber-productive Windows tablets with a lot of screen real estate and excellent "all-day" battery life, it's probably a good idea to hurry and pull the trigger ASAP.
