Work on the go with a refurbished Microsoft Surface for $199

TL;DR: Through Sept. 30, you can get a refurbished Microsoft Surface 3 for just $199.99, down from $230. That's a savings of 13%.

Desktops unfortunately trade portability for power. While you may be able to get a lot of work done on your desktop, it’s understandable if you also wish you had a portable computer. Buying a whole laptop might be too expensive, and a tablet might not cut it, but you could land somewhere in between. This refurbished Microsoft Surface 3 has a few years on it, but it may still make a great portable work machine to complement your desktop, and it’s only $199.99 during this Refurbished Event going on now through September 30.

A Windows Surface lets you take your work with you

Whether you work from home, are coping with a new course load of homework, or just like to take your business to your home office, this Microsoft Surface may give you some new options for where you can be productive. The Surface’s battery can last up to 10 hours, and its other hardware gives you some options for how you spend that time.

With 2GB RAM and a 64GB SSD, you could download and run apps that aren’t too demanding: productivity software, streaming services, and more. Connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and make your Surface feel like a laptop. Or you could use it as a presentation tool. The Surface 3 comes with a three-point kickstand that gives you a 10.8-inch HD presentation screen, or you could use the built-in mic, and speakers for web conferencing. It also has a 3.5MP front-facing camera and an 8MP rear camera. The charger is also included with your purchase.

Part tablet and part laptop
