Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Microsoft official website

Now may be a good time to get hold of the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, which is being offered with a big $100 price off for folks who have long been interested in getting one.

The deal is part of Microsoft's pitch for President's Day and can be checked out at the Microsoft Store.

The offer actually started the promo as early as last week ahead of President's Day. The list of models one can consider include the following (with corresponding prices):

• 6th Gen Intel Core M3 with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD) at $799
• 6th Gen Intel Core i5 with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD at $899
• 6th Gen Intel Core i5 with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD at $1,199
• 6th Gen Intel Core i7 with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD at $1,499
• 6th Gen Intel Core i7 with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD at $1,699

Included in the deal is the Surface Pen and the Windows 10 Pro operating system.

Among the specs that the PC/tablet carries include a 12.3-inch PixelSense screen (2736 x 1824 resolution), a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, an 8-megapixel main camera and a battery that is good for up to nine hours of use.

For folks who can afford it, the Surface Pro 4 Bundle could be an alternative and tempting one to consider. The package costs about $1,168, giving customers $229 in savings.

The bundle includes a choice of Type Cover, Surface sleeve, a two-year warranty, and one year of Office 365.

Apart from Surface Pro 4, there are also other deals that interested buyers can check out. Such include the Xbox One Bundle which will be giving away one free game and a $75 gift code upon purchase.

There is also the Band 2, Microsoft's own wearable offering which is up for $50 less (from $249.99 to $199.99). With wearables making their way into the tech scene, this should be a reasonable offer folks may want to take advantage off — particularly the health-conscious ones.
