   Is It Worth It?:听The previous-gen Microsoft Surface Pro may be a less complete laptop replacement than its latest iteration,听the Surface Pro 3, but this Windows tablet is also significantly cheaper than its successor. At $400, it's the cheapest price we could find for refurbs of this tablet by $30. While听Engadget听was less than thrilled with the Surface Pro's short battery life and weight, the reviewer was pleased with this tablet's performance capabilities: "A cold boot is completed in eight seconds or less, and apps launched snappily and reacted well."

   The 1.5-lb. Surface Pro features an Intel Core i5-3317U 1.7GHz dual-core processor, a 10.6" 1920x1080 (1080p) multitouch LCD, 4GB of RAM, 128GB SSD, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth 4.0, front- and rear-facing 720p cameras, and Windows 8 Pro. A 90-day A4C warranty applies.
