Guest LilBambi Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Microsoft is pushing items from their Microsoft Store in light of the needs of those who need to get a new computer because of XP going away. They are offering $100 off any computer in their store >= $599. All are Windows 8.1. And you must be going from XP to qualify for the deal. Microsoft Sweetens 'Buy a New PC' Deal for Windows XP Users with $100 Savings - PCMag One of my clients bought one. She got the Lenovo All in One. that had a $50 off already and then got the $100 off. Which basically covered the tax. Oh, and she got it with free shipping. Microsoft Store Nice for folks needing to actually buy another computer if you can find something you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymac46 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Well so much for that. I don't even have an XP machine around any more. The closest physical store is 250 miles away. Edited March 30, 2014 by raymac46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 God only knows where the closest store is in Virginia. Oh wait... Virginia Arlington, The Fashion Centre at Pentagon City Tysons Corner, Tysons Corner Center Best case, off peak time, is 2 h 36 min from here. Not gonna happen... But one of my clients bought an all in one from Lenovo on their website and they are shipping it to her for free. She got her $100 discount, plus the price was already $50 off retail pricing.

Guest LilBambi Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 No, it's not required. But, it is a good thing, actually a wise thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 microsoft has brick-and-mortar stores? Yeah, I was in one Friday morning (Bring your iPad and we'll give you Office 365 for a year free deal). It was really odd. They took the Apple store model and ran with it. Far less busy, though. I went to the Apple Store and touched a new Mac Pro (trashcan) computer and begged for forgiveness. LOL Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LilBambi Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 We have two Apple Stores 'relatively close' ... they are each at least ~ hour away, each way. Closest one is 1 hr 14 min away in Norfolk. I have been to the one in Richmond and that is 1 hr 30 min away. Happened to be in the area.

ross549 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yeah, the Microsoft store is a bit weird.... like I said, they too the AppleStore model and ran with it. The one thing that struck me is that the store was not as bright as the Apple store... like Corporate did not want to pay for any more electricity.

frapper Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 The MS store also has no "regular" desktops for business or home. Only AIO's, 2 in 1's, laptops, tablets, and Surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Considering they are not selling to businesses, this does not surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
