Microsoft’s Surface Go, its brand-new iPad competitor, drops to $466.50 (Reg. $549)

BuyDig via Rakuten is currently offering the Microsoft Surface Go Pentium Gold/8GB/128GB for $466.65 shipped when coupon code BTS15 has been applied at checkout. Note: You’ll need to be logged in to a free Rakuten account to apply this code. That’s over $80 off pricing found at Amazon or Best Buy and is the lowest we’ve seen aside from a matching price that included a $20 Xbox gift card. Considering that the Surface Go has only been available for about a week, a discount of this proportion makes this the perfect deal for the upcoming college season. Reviews are still rolling in, but so far its rated 4.4/5 stars.
