To celebrate Pi Day (3/14), Microsoft is offering 31.4% off select Dell notebooks - but the company is also offering plenty of other discounts on a wide range of other PCs from various manufacturers as part of its Spring Sale promotion.
Some of the devices available feature older hardware, including 4th- and 5th-generation Intel Core i-series processors - but many of the desktops and laptops included in the promotion feature the latest 6th-gen "Skylake" chips from Intel.
Here are just a few highlights of some of the best offers currently available:
| | |
| Alienware Echo 13 R2 notebook
| Dell XPS 12 9250 2-in-1
|
| | |
| Dell XPS 8900 desktop
| Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro notebook
|
| | |
| HP ENVY Curved 34 A051
| Toshiba Satellite Radius 12
|
Those are just a few examples - there are plenty of others to pick from over on the Microsoft Store.
Many of the discounts began today, and will remain available through to March 27 - but with a frustrating lack of consistency, several of the devices have no end-dates listed for the deals.
The Lenovo Ideacentre AIO 700-27ISH is a particularly unhelpful example, featuring two sets of start- and end-dates with no indication of which offer each set applies to.
Still, despite the sloppy small print, there are clearly plenty of opportunities to save on a wide selection of devices - and it"s worth remembering too that all PCs sold via the Microsoft Store are "Signature Edition", which means they"ll be free from pre-installed bloatware.
