Microsoft cuts £250 off Surface Pro 6 (i5, 256GB, 8GB), outdoes Amazon

It's not often we see manufacturers outdo Amazon prices, but right now you can get £250 off the Surface Pro 6 with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage when you buy directly from Microsoft. Amazon has better prices on other configurations though – take a look.

Pick up a Surface Pro 6 from Microsoft at a cheaper price than Amazon's

The Surface Pro 6 tablet is an excellent 2-in-1 device, which means it doesn't come cheap – it's also why we're always on the lookout for strong discounts. Quite often Microsoft and Amazon have sales on Surface Pro 6 devices at the same time, and quite often Amazon deals outdo Microsoft's.

This time, it's slightly different. While Amazon is offering generous discounts on Surface Pro 6 devices, when it comes to the model in black with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage and a Core-i5 processor Microsoft has a full £250 off, while Amazon only has £150 off. We don't often see such a drastic difference.

Amazon deals do beat Microsoft's when it comes to other configurations though, so don't miss out:

Core i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD: £100 off at Amazon, £88 off at Microsoft
Core i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD: £200 off at Amazon, £143 off at Microsoft
Core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD: £200 of at Amazon, £179.90 off at Microsoft

Microsoft and Amazon prices match on other configurations. You can see all Surface Pro 6 deals at Microsoft here and at Amazon here.

Keep in mind these offers don't include the Type Cover keyboard, which you'll have to buy separately.
