About the Brand
Microsoft needs little introduction. Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Redmond, Washington, it has grown into one of the world’s largest technology companies — shaping how billions of people work, learn, and communicate. The Microsoft Store is the company’s official UK retail channel, offering direct access to its full hardware and software catalogue.
The Surface range is the store’s hardware centrepiece — from the detachable Surface Pro and the traditional Surface Laptop to the powerful Surface Laptop Studio. Alongside sits the Xbox ecosystem of consoles, games, and Game Pass subscriptions. On the software side, Microsoft 365 bundles Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and OneDrive cloud storage into monthly or annual plans. Pricing ranges from accessories under £50 through to flagship laptops well above £2,000.
Several features make buying direct worthwhile:
- Free standard delivery on all eligible orders, arriving within two to three business days
- Free returns within 30 days of delivery on most products
- Up to 10% off for verified students and educators on selected hardware
- Trade-in cashback of up to £250 towards a new Surface device
- Certified refurbished Surface laptops at reduced prices with the same one-year warranty
- Gift cards available from £5
- PayPal “Pay Later” to spread the cost of larger purchases
Between the refurbished savings, student pricing, and the offers listed below, there are plenty of ways to spend less on Microsoft hardware and software.
How to use
Shopping Guide
Is it worth buying a refurbished Surface from Microsoft?
Microsoft’s certified refurbished devices go through the same testing as new units and come with the same one-year warranty. The savings can be substantial — often a noticeable chunk off the original retail price. Because they’re sold directly by Microsoft rather than a third party, you also get free delivery and free returns, which you wouldn’t necessarily get buying second-hand elsewhere. For anyone wanting Surface hardware without the premium price tag, refurbished is a smart route — particularly for the Surface Laptop range, where cosmetic condition is typically indistinguishable from new.
When’s the best time to buy from the Microsoft Store?
Black Friday and the January sales are when the deepest discounts appear, especially on Surface devices and Xbox bundles. We’ve tracked price drops of 20% or more on older Surface models when a new generation launches — so if you don’t need the latest spec, waiting for a refresh can pay off. The trade-in programme runs year-round, so you can stack that £250 cashback on top of any seasonal saving.
How does the student discount compare to other savings?
The 10% education discount is decent but limited to specific hardware. It can’t be combined with other promotional codes, so if a bigger seasonal sale is running, the sale price might actually beat the student price. Always check both before buying.
Can I spread the cost of a Surface device?
PayPal’s “Pay Later” option is available at checkout, letting you split the payment into instalments. Microsoft also periodically offers 0% finance through its own store — check the product page for current terms, as these deals aren’t always advertised prominently.
