And by this, I mean there isnt a lot of room for the freedom to choose andbuild and tinker like there are at other times. This is what youll get, and youll like it! the world seems to say. And thats true of Cyber Monday Microsoft Surface deals, too (including the youll like it part, they are pretty great deals and you will like them, go check them out!). But, if you go through Microsoft you can now get a Surface Pro 11 bundle with the works (including the critical keyboard and even a stylus pen) and get up to $466 in savings. Its one of the best ways to get the full Microsoft Surface Pro 11 experience out there. But how should you build your bundle? And is maxing out the savings really the best choice? Tap the button below to get started and well walk you through the five-step process in no time.Microsofts store lays this out as a five-step custom order, and theres no reason for us to do any differently:Step 1 is easy, its what youre here for, the well-reviewed Microsoft Surface Pro 11 that has some serious advantages over the new iPad Pro. Its only $880 now, down from $1,200, giving you a starting savings of $320. Tap Add to bundle and move on.RelatedStep 2 is the second easiest step and youll know exactly how to handle it. The detachable Surface Pro Keyboard makes the Surface Pro 11 more of a laptop, and helps differentiate it from Cyber Monday tablet deals. Add it to the bundle (its required) by tapping Add to bundle. Your new final price will be $1,000, a savings of $340 on the usual $1,340.Step 3 is the first optional step. You can get Microsoft 365, a cloud software suite, for 15 months at the 12 month price point. Even as a professional writer, I know I wont use this, but if you need Microsoft Word or Excel or the like for you job, this is a good buy. It even comes with 1TB of cloud storage per person using it.Step 4 lets you add Microsoft Complete protection to your Surface Pro. This is a sort of warranty and service agreement that even covers things like drops and spills. Warranties, service guaranties, and how much you value them are highly personal. And youll want to ask yourself how clumsy you are and how long you want a product before you can truly evaluate its worth. In any event you can now get four years of Microsoft Complete for $200, instead of the usual $300, bringing your total savings up to $440.Step 5 is themost confusing step. Here, you add your pen and (possibly) other accessories to your bundle. Our recommendation here is to get the Surface Slim Pen which is actually the Surface Slim Pen 2, which we consider one of the best tablet styluses, but is not labelled as such. With this deal, which saves you $26, the convenient Surface Slim Pen 2 is only $4 more than the regular Surface Pen. However, whatever you do, do not get the Surface Pen Tips that appear on the same page. Instead, tap the > where youll find the Surface Slim Pen Tips. In this area you might also find the Surface Dock 2 to be useful, as it allows you to use the Microsoft Surface Pro 11 like a desktop with full dual monitor support. Its $260, though, so youre unlikely to want it if you already have a desktop setup.So, is it worth gettingevery deal available in the bundle and saving $466? Probably not, but you can still build something excellent at this time. My hypothetical bundle, which skipped the extra warranty time and Microsoft 365 but got the Surface Slim Pen and bonus tips, came out to be $1,129, which is $366 lower than the usual $1,495. Thats still highly competitive with any of the savings you get in other Cyber Monday Microsoft Surface deals, however, and I was completely in control.
