The Core i5 Surface Pro 7 is the Goldilocks model for many, and it's on sale right now.
Microsoft's Surface Pro 7 comes in a wide range of variants. You can get it with a powerful Intel Core i7 or go for the entry level Intel Core i3 model. Sat between those two variants is the Intel Core i5 version, which is the Goldilocks device for many people. It delivers enough power to get a lot of work done without breaking the bank. Right now, the Surface Pro 7 with an Intel Core i5, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage is on sale from Walmart for just $698, and that includes the Type Cover. A similar deal is also available from Microsoft.
The Surface Pro 7 is on both our best Windows laptop list and our best Windows tablet list. The Surface Pro line has led the 2-in-1 market for years, and the Surface Pro 7 sits atop Microsoft's range of convertible devices.

This discounted version of the Surface Pro 7 has an Intel Core i5 processor, 128GB of storage and 8GB of memory. It's also one of the best Windows tablets on the market.
In his Surface Pro 7 review, our executive editor Daniel Rubino says that "For most users, the Core i5 Surface Pro 7 is the ideal choice." He also highlights that the Surface Pro 7 delivers "Exceptional performance for [the] Core i5 version." The Core i5 model of the Surface Pro 7 is fanless but gets better performance than the Core i7 Surface Pro 6.
Adding value to this deal is that it gets you the Surface Pro Type Cover in black. That cover retails on Microsoft's website for $130. That takes a sizeable chunk off the "Surface tax" that you usually have to pay to get the 2-in-1 with a keyboard.
