Amazon just dropped the Microsoft Surface Pro X laptop to its lowest price yet

SAVE $950.99: As of March 15, the 13-inch Microsoft Surface Pro X is on sale for $549.99 (down from $1,499.99) at Amazon, which is a savings of 63% and its lowest price yet.

If you're in the market for a new laptop that can pull double duty as a tablet, the Microsoft Surface line is a fantastic option. Historically, the products have been a bit on the more prohibitively expensive side. But these days, they're going for a much more palatable price, especially when they're on sale.

And right now, there's a sale you won't want to miss. You can snag the powerful Microsoft Surface Pro X, the slickest and most powerful version of the Pro line, for just $549 at Amazon. It's currently $950.99 off from its regular price of $1,499.99. That's a savings of 63%, and its lowest price yet.

This 13-inch edition comes with a crisp HD touchscreen, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and both WiFi and 4G LTE connectivity, all in a matte black package. It's also the thinnest Surface Pro you can get, at just 7.3 mm.

This powerful tablet-meets-laptop has a great-looking edge-to-edge screen that's perfect for just about anything you want to do with it. Whether that means drawing up a presentation on the go or relaxing with your favorite shows, the Surface Pro X has you covered.

It also boasts a 15-hour battery life, so you can get things done or enjoy yourself on the go without having to stop and recharge. And when you do, it can spring to about 80% in under an hour.

Of course, there is one caveat. The Surface Pro X does not come with the Slim Pen in the box, so you'll have to pick one up yourself if you plan on utilizing the touch screen to the fullest. But when you're saving this much on the tablet, that separate purchase won't add much to the total package.
