If you’re looking for an affordable tablet that runs the full version of Windows 8.1 Pro and can really cope with high system requirements of apps and games, the Surface Pro could be the smartest choice.

The device is now available with a $300 (€220) discount, as Microsoft has decided to cut down the price of the 128 GB model to $599 (€435) for a limited time.

Of course, this is the first-generation model, as the new Surface Pro 2 is even more expensive, with the 512 GB version coming with a price tag of $1,799 (€1,310).

The Surface Pro comes with an Intel i5 processor and 4GB of RAM under the hood, but also with a full HD 10.6-inch display that’s good enough to run some of the newest games on the market. The device was launched in February 2013 and received a major hardware upgrade in October.
