This factory-recertified Surface Book is on sale for more than 60% off

TL;DR: Grab a recertified Microsoft Surface Book for just $529.99, a 64% savings as of March 12. 

Ok, listen. We all need to stop dismissing "refurbished" tech. It's much cheaper, is certified to work just as good as new, and is way better for the environment. After all, giving a used laptop a new lease on life means there's one less device contributing to the massive mountain of e-waste taking over the planet.

Take this 256GB Microsoft Surface Book for example. It's factory-recertified, meaning it was inspected and restored by the manufacturer, rigorously tested and fixed, and the warranty is fully reset. It sports a brilliant 13.5-inch touchscreen display for a seamless, user-friendly experience and has a battery that lasts for up to 12 hours at a time for an uninterrupted workflow. Plus, its core i5 processor allows you to run multiple apps at once with no issue. Its only "flaw" is that it hails from 2016, so the tech isn't quite as state-of-the-art as a brand-new 2020 Surface Book. But honestly, who cares? It's still a new-to-you device and it's much easier on your wallet. Read more...
