If you’re interested in the best 2-in-1 laptops, you’ll certainly have heard of Microsoft’s Surface line. They’re pretty powerful, but they do come with a catch — unless you get a great bundle you’re going to have to supply the stylus pen and keyboard separately. Eventually, getting these accessories will feel like an “essential” upgrade to your device. And that’s where Best Buy comes in.
Every day Best Buy has a “Deal of the Day,” which is exactly what it says on the tin, but they also have bonus deals of the day if you look harder. And both the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2 and the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard are included in these bonus deals today. You can save $26 on the pen (taking it from $130 to $104) or $70 on the keyboard (taking it from $350 to $280) if you take advantage of these deals before 1:00 a.m. ET. That’s a combined savings of $96. Tap the button below (and scroll down) to see today’s bonus deals or keep reading to see how these accessories are a big bonus for your tablet.
Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2 — $104 $130 20% off
There’s a lot more to like about the Surface Slim Pen 2 than meets the eye. It’s physical design is somewhat like a carpenter’s pencil with a flat edge, making it easier to hold, and there is haptic feedback built-in to the pen to help you get a realistic and natural feel when writing. Then there’s the software. If you’ve got the idea that writing on a tablet with a stylus is a binary experience (pixel white, pixel black, and nowhere in between) then the Surface Slim Pen 2 will be a shocking experience for you — it detects 4,096 points of pressure sensitivity for precision shading. In other words, this stylus is perfect for those wanting to take handwritten notes and do great art alike. The Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2 is very broadly compatible with Surface devices, but you can tap the button below and tap “Specifications” to double-check your compatibility if you wish.
Microsoft Surface Pro Flex Keyboard — $280 $350 20% off
One thing that makes the Microsoft Surface so interesting is that it is basically just an excellent tablet, but it gets to masquerade as a 2-in-1 with a delightful detachable keyboard. There’s not a ton to say about this keyboard that you can’t figure out by looking at the image above (note that the stylus doesn’t come with it, but you can see an example stylus nestled in the holder above) that can be done in a short time, but do note that this is only compatible with the Microsoft Surface Pro 11th edition, Microsoft Surface Pro 9, and Microsoft Surface Pro 8.

The 11-inch iPad Pro M2 sold out, but you can get the iPad Pro M4 for the same price
If you’ve been looking forward to the arrival of this year’s Cyber Monday Apple deals. it’s time to get excited. There are some excellent deals. Best Buy was offering the Wi-Fi + Cellular model of the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M2 for only $1,099, following a $1,000 discount that nearly halved the tablet’s original price of $2,099. But since there’s always high demand for savings on Apple’s iPad from Cyber Monday deals, that offer is sold out. Don’t panic, though. Best Buy also has the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro with M4 Chip for the same price — $1,099. It’s only a savings of $100, down from $1,199, but that’s still a fantastic price. We highly recommend shopping this deal before it sells out too.
Why you should buy the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M4 instead
The Apple iPad Pro M2 wasn’t the latest version of the powerful tablet — that distinction goes to the Apple iPad Pro M4, yet both have rightfully taken their place in our list of the best iPads as the best premium option. Since the first deal on the M2 model sold out, you’re getting the best of the best right now for the same price, anyway.

The best tablets in 2025: top 8 tablets you can buy now
Even the best smartphones still have relatively small screens. After all, they can only get so big before they’re no longer practical or pocketable. There are some great folding phones that try to give you the best of both worlds, but these are pricy options and often make compromises you’re unwilling to live with. If you’re looking for a larger canvas for reading, sketching, gaming, or just about anything else, you’re likely much better off going with a tablet. This lets your smartphone keep doing what it does best — being portable, taking great pictures, and offering solid battery life — while giving you an alternative for those times when you need more screen real estate.
However, choosing the right tablet can be tricky. People use tablets in different ways, so there are dozens of options on the market to address these myriad needs. We know how hard it can be to wade through them all and find the one that works best for your use case and budget, so we’ve done the legwork for you, reviewing dozens of tablets across the entire spectrum to compile a list of the top eight for all walks of life.
