Microsoft's flashiest deal is the Surface Holiday Bundle, which includes a one-year subscription to Office 365 Home and a mouse or sleeve for $99.99 with any purchase of a Surface Pro 3 at $898.99.
While the deal still proves rather pricey, as is to be expected with the Surface Pro 3, Microsoft is also offering some huge discounts on computer, phone and tablet accessories. This includes Surface sleeves, which are on sale now for $9.99 (originally $39.99) and $29.92 (originally $59.99).

With a few hundred dollars knocked off the starting price, Microsoft is offering the Samsung ATIV One 5 for $599 (originally $899) and the Nokia Lumia 2520 Signature Edition Tablet for $299 (originally $499).
Microsoft will inevitably continue to be in fierce competition with Apple as the season continues, particularly with the emphasis on electronics for consumers looking to score great deals on gifts.
According to Gotta Be Mobile the iPad Air 2 is expected to receive $30 off its $499 starting price, with $50 off the iPad Air. Apple will also be offering gift cards with purchases of select merchandise.
Black Friday won't be until Nov. 28, but retailers got an early start with Black Friday this year. Deals began as early as Nov. 1 this season and will continue throughout the month.
