All refurb units are tested to have a minimum 80% battery and we provide a 12-month warranty.
Howdy, sorry our system hadn't pushed through the update. They include the type cover, but not a stylus.
Any chance of the surface pro 5 deal coming back?
yup im also poorMot so i only can afford $199
We do have a small volume (about 100 units) but they are stuck on hold at the moment. They should be available before the end of the month.
@Calmago can we expect the 199 surface pro 5 deal in the coming days.
Nar mate, done and dusted for now.
@Calmago: @Calmago looks like yesterday night you were taking orders for the $199 surface pro 5 but when I tried placing the order it went out of stock. Do you reckon it will come in stock again.
must be to do with the processors, price of pro 5 and 6 is far different
Does it include the keyboard?
I had a very bad experience with these people. Bought a laptop. They said the same thing - minimum 80% battery. But it was way below. Laptop was so dusty. Lid is loose and does not stay firm. Looks like they have even not looked at the laptop. I don't think they take responsibility in their description. Then asked me to return for a warranty repair…
Hey mate, if you wanted to PM me your order details I'd be more than happy to look into it.
You guys only do one reply a day. Take weeks to sort out the issues.
Anyway I'll PM you
I recently bought a refurbished surface pro 7 from another seller (not this one) and had exactly the same issues — dusty as hell and I spent the whole afternoon cleaning it. but the unit was listed as a "grade B" so I had no recourse. ymmv when it comes to refurbished units is my view.
Just letting you guys know. I just got a solution for my problem. Good that I mentioned here.
It would have been really nice it was sorted out at the beginning. Then I would not have written in a public forum like this.
Not sure how this is a deal as the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 12.3" Intel i5 8350u 1.70Ghz 8GB 256GB SSD Win 11(linked in post) is available for $404.82(ebay plus) with the same seller?
if i have some 256gb cards at home unused would it be okay to get the 128gb model and save some $ ? a bit slower in speed i guess
a bit slower in speed i guess
how is it slower?
the reading/writing speed of ssd vs my card.
mine isnt pro card so i was just questing it would be slower.
but then i dont need super fast actions
SSD swap is what they implied
Why wouldn't you go for the 256gb version for a few extra bucks(assuming you're an ebay plus member)?
i dont think they actually refurbish or even check machines before shipping out. i got 2 laptops with bios passwords, and they were unable to provide the password. also replies are painfully slow. had to escalate to ebay to get refund
I've bought from them many times and never had an issue.
Once, one of the laptops arrived DOA and they sent out a replacement one, even before they received the one I shipped back.
I bought the $199 Surface Pro 5 and had a pretty good experience with these guys in terms of customer service. The first surface they shipped me had a weird issue with the screen however I received a replacement within a week of raising the issue and it's near perfect with 95% battery life remaining and a few minor blemishes.
As for this deal although it's $200 more you're getting an updated model (with longer support life from Microsoft) and a type cover included. RRP for a new type cover is $199 and even used ones aren't that cheap.
Personally I don't really need the type cover for my use case but it'd be really nice to have.
I have personally ordered 2x surface pros with these guys and they are practically new. unbeatable value.
Just wanted to chime and say I’ve had a great experience with ACT as well. Bought two Surface 5’s from the last deal and one had an issue with the battery failing. They were very prompt and arranged a replacement pronto. I’d definitely buy from them again based on customer service that I’ve received.
Update: replacement was a dud. Going through the process again, will advise outcome for people’s consideration.
My replacement is excellent. I would have been happy to keep the one I sent back rather than refund, it had about 40% battery and didn't last long enough for what I wanted it for but it was otherwise in excellent condition.
My experience with customer service was excellent and replacement got shipped as soon as I had dropped the old one at the post office for return.
Oh the customer service is fantastic and that alone will keep me coming back. Unfortunately the replacement had a few issues. Just luck of the draw I guess. See how the next one goes.
I got the previous $199 deal for the Pro 5. Almost flawless screen and 92% battery life. Scored a $60 case for $29 off Amazon, so great value all around. No need for the type cover with my usage requirements so the price was great.
Which case did you get?
Well.. while the customer service has been good to date. The replacement I got was worse. I’ll keep you updated though.
I'll get one on the next batch of surface 5
I jumped the gun and bought a surface pro 6. Fingers crossed I don't get the bad one in the batch
what made you changed your mind from 5 to 6
I looked at the previous offers for refurb surface 5 and they did not include type cover with the product. This one does so the price is about right. A type cover runs for $100 used and $199 brand new
I'm also travelling at the end of the month so would like to have the surface before that. Waiting for the surface 5 to come on sale is not an option. 😊
but its already back in stock.. the pro 5… last night.. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/774731
same coupon code.
ok fair enough for me i dont need keyboard
@CyberMurning: Yes I did see this. Thank you. Yep I need the keyboard. It's much better to have it and it also acts as a cover.
@Raj09: hmm about cover.. you give me some idea to check aliexpress for some kind of softcover, probably good to have some kind of protection but i hate the keyboard
Got mine yesterday. Unit is in good condition but the keyboard showing signed of some moderate use and was a bit dirty from use but cleaned up ok.
Battery tested at 96 odd percent with 42 cycles
Pretty happy with the purchase as a travel laptop
I’ve had heaps of good purchases from this seller but my last unit (SP6) was a dud. 52% batt and 340 cycles.
I have messaged them on eBay and hope they will resolve promptly, which they have done for me in the past.
I’ve bought 8 refurbished units (mixture of laptops and desktops) in the past year and all have exceeded my expectations until this most recent one.
Had an excellent experience with my return of an SP5 a few weeks ago. And have had many good delings with them over the years. Have always been very helpful when I have had problems.
Got mine today. Superb. There are signs of use on the keyboard but the tablet works well and I have 85% battery. So far so good. Going to get myself a pen

Could you elaborate on what's included, as your eBay listing only has:
Does it include the keyboard, stylus, etc?
