The 11-inch model, which launched last year, is now available for $750, which translates to $49 savings on its WiFi-only variant with 128GB of storage space. You can get twice the storage space for $100 more, and the 512GB option goes for $1,049.

The larger 12.9-inch version is getting a $100 discount on its WiFi-only variant. This means you can get yourself a new 256GB option for $999 or the 512GB option for $1,199.

We start today’s deals with some excellent savings over at OnePlus.com, where you can find the OnePlus 8 series for as low as $499 when you get a Glacial Green Unlocked variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage space. However, you can get the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage space version in Interstellar Glow for $559. Both devices come unlocked, and they will also get you a $200 discount.

Now, if you want to go Pro, you can get the OnePlus 8 Pro for $799, with the same $200 savings. This unlocked device also features 12GB RAM and 256GB storage space, and if saving $200 wasn’t already good enough, you will also score a new pair of OnePlus Z Steven Harrington Edition for free.

You can also choose to go for the OnePlus 7T T-Mobile edition phone that’s also getting a $200 discount, which leaves it available for $399 with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, or save $300 and go for the McLaren Edition that comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage space.

Now, if you’re looking for a new laptop, you can head over to Amazon or B&H, where you can find the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 with a 13.5-inch touch-screen, an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and 128GB SSD storage for $769 after a $230 discount. You can save more if you go for the maxed-out version that features 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD storage space, and an Intel Core i7 chip. This variant gets you $605 savings, but you will also have to get ready to pay $1,394. And if you want the larger 15-inch display, you can get it with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, but you get an AMD Ryzen Surface Edition processor under the hood for $1,600 with $499 savings.

Still, if I were the one about to make such a huge investment, I think that I would rather go for a new M1 MacBook Pro that’s selling for $1,219 in its 8GB RAM/256GB version with $80 savings, or the 8GB RAM/512GB option that’s available for $1399 after a $100 discount on both Amazon and B&H.

Microsoft offers free repair for Surface Laptop 3 units with cracked display issue

Over the past few months, multiple Surface Laptop 3 users have complained about a weird issue – their laptop’s screen cracked without any external damage or fall that they could remember. Affected users shared images of a hairline crack appearing on the screen without any accidents happening whatsoever.

Well, Microsoft has now taken cognizance of the spontaneously cracking Surface Laptop 3 display issue and is offering free repair for all units. Additionally, users who have paid for a screen replacement after noticing a similar issue can apply for a reimbursement.

In a post on the official Microsoft support forum, the company mentions that it has investigated claims of cracked Surface Laptop 3 screens. After going through the complaints, Microsoft has arrived at the conclusion that “a hard foreign particle may cause a hairline fracture in the glass that may seem to appear unexpectedly or without visible cause.”

However, the company made it clear that this only happens in the case of a very small number of Surface Laptop 3 units. Reasons and conclusions aside, Microsoft has announced that it will offer free repair for all units that are still under warranty. As for the users who paid for it, the company will reimburse them for the repair fee.

While offering free repair and reimbursing those who have already paid for it is definitely a good move, but it is applicable only for units still under warranty. For Surface Laptop 3 units out of warranty, the cost of repair is quite high. In the words one such unfortunate user, he had to pay a staggering $700 to get the display replaced on his machine.

At this point, it is not clear if the screen cracking issue is due to a manufacturing defect. But from the user reports that we have come across on the Microsoft support channel, Reddit, and Twitter, the display on Microsoft’s device is really flimsy. A majority of affected users have gone to lengths explaining how a hairline fracture appearing on the glass panel without the device even registering a fall or other such mechanical strain.

Interestingly, for one particular user, the Surface Laptop 3’s display cracked soon after it was replaced for the same issue. Some users claim that the lack of a casing around the glass panel and it getting in touch with the deck might have led to the damage. But in a few cases, the screen cracked around the base area, which rules out the deck contact theory.

Here are a few of the many complaints that we saw on various platforms:
