Microsoft’s Surface Laptop lineup has long been viewed as the gold standard for modern laptop design—clean, sleek, lightweight, and built for productivity. The only catch? That premium feel usually comes with a premium price tag. But if you’ve been holding out for a truly affordable Surface that still delivers modern performance, there’s good news: the Surface Laptop 7 (2024) with a Snapdragon X Plus processor is currently available on eBay for just $599, a significant drop from its original price.
This particular model features a 13.8-inch touchscreen display and runs on the Snapdragon X Plus, a 10-core Arm-based processor from Qualcomm’s latest lineup designed to rival Apple’s M-series chips in terms of power efficiency. While this chip isn’t meant for gaming or GPU-heavy workloads, it excels in battery life and general productivity. Web browsing, office apps, video streaming, and multitasking all feel fluid and responsive, especially when paired with 16GB of RAM, which helps ensure that Windows 11 runs smoothly even under heavier use.
Storage is modest at 256GB, which may be limiting for some, but still sufficient for many daily users who primarily work in the cloud or rely on external drives. The laptop also includes premium touches like a Windows Hello-compatible IR webcam, a precision touchscreen, and the clean, minimalist design Surface fans expect. Just be aware that this is not the top-tier configuration you might’ve seen in reviews—those models typically ship with the Snapdragon X Elite, more memory, and larger SSDs. Still, this version offers strong real-world performance for general use and is arguably more capable than the new 13-inch Surface Laptop Microsoft just launched in the same year.
This deal is part of eBay’s “eBay Refurbished” program, meaning the unit has been inspected, restored to like-new condition, and is backed by a 2-year Allstate warranty. It’s not marked as part of a Memorial Day sale, so availability may continue past the holiday weekend—but stock could still be limited.
If you want the Surface experience with solid battery life, a modern Arm processor, and enough RAM for serious multitasking—without spending over $1,000—this might be the deal to grab.
