Best Buy now offering $100 discount on all Windows 8 touchscreen PCs

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 23 Feb 2013 8:49 User comments (3)

Best Buy has confirmed that all Windows 8 touchscreen computers will have a discount, at least for the next two weeks.

Beginning tomorrow, and ending March 9th, the PCs will be priced with a $100 discount.

Notably, it appears that Best Buy will be part of the subsidizing, eating part of the cost of the discount along with Intel, Microsoft and the PC OEMs.

Not included in the discount? The Surface or other Windows tablets.

You can check the list here starting tomorrow: Best Buy

The problems were the price tags and Windows 8.

Solving the price tag doesn't make it better. Before it was unaffordable crap. Now it is affordable crap.

God Is Great, but your opinion is crap.... Windows 8 is a great operating system. And Office 365 is a perfect match. Are you a Apple fanboy or android nut
