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 Microsoft Surface Pro 11 is almost $400 off — down to $830
Microsoft Surface Pro 11 front view in tablet mode.

If you're thinking about buying a new device for the primary purpose of accessing Microsoft's Copilot, we can't recommend the Microsoft Surface Pro 11 enough. It's an even more tempting purchase right now because it's available from Walmart for just $830, for savings of $369 on its original price of $1,199. We're not entirely sure how much longer stock will be available, but since past Surface Pro deals expired pretty quickly, we recommend completing your transaction as soon as you can to make sure you don't miss out.

Save up to $750 on a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and score bonus discounts, too
A person putting the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 in their pocket.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 6 is yet another entry into the unfurling narrative that tells us flip phones are back. Today, there are multiple deals going on with the phone. For starters, if you you can save $150, and if you you cave save $150 and get up to $460 in trade credits. But the best deal comes when you buy from Samsung, where you can get $150 off or up to $750 off if you do a trade-in, and a free or discounted bonus item. This can make the 256GB version of the phone just $350 and the 512GB version just $470 with a max trade in. Tap the button below to see this great offer or keep reading to see more about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 phone, why this is a good buy, and why some of the bonus items are peculiar.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
When we made our Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 review, we were happy with its quick performance and nice inner display, all critical for flipping and folding phones. It has a 6.7 inch AMOLED screen with a 2640 x 1080 resolution and a nice 120Hz refresh rate. We were also impressed with its IP48 water and dust resistance, which is not too much below the IP68 most of the best "non-bending" phones of today are sporting. At the time, however, we did note that the phone was "held back by a higher price" than the competition, something that this deal helps alleviate tremendously.

A Garmin smartwatch deal worth buying: Save $250 on a Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar
A front view of a Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar.

Right now there are a few deals going on around the Garmin Fenix 7 line, but we've found one that's the best to buy today, combining a good price with great features. And that's on the 47mm Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar. It has the most features and a price worth looking at twice after the discounts are applied (it's just $650 from $900 after the $250 discount).

However, we fear there may be some confusion over the word "Sapphire" in the watch's name — that's an indicator of a feature and not a color! You're totally forgiven if you were expecting a somewhat blueish gemstone coloration, but instead we're seeing a black version and a gray/orange that invokes memories of Valve's GLaDOS. Tap the appropriate button below to see the color you want or read on to see why this is one of the best smartwatch deals we're seeing at the moment.
