“Break up with your MacBook”: Microsoft bribes you with up to $1,000…

Microsoft is offering up to $1,000 in cash back for MacBook Pro owners who pre‑order the RTX Spark‑powered Surface Laptop Ultra through its U.S. and Canadian Microsoft Store trade‑in program, valid from October 7 to November 23, 2026. The deal requires the MacBook to be functional, undamaged, and shipped within 15 days after purchase. Microsoft pays the trade‑in value plus a bonus that varies by device condition, and the offer is limited to one per customer. The Surface Laptop Ultra features a 15‑inch mini‑LED display, 128 GB of memory, and NVIDIA’s RTX Spark GPU, positioning it as a direct competitor to Apple’s high‑end laptops.
