Every year, the Microsoft Store gets into the holidays spirit and offers up a “12 Days of Deals” promotion. Just like the popular song “12 Days of Christmas,” each day brings a new deal that’s good for that day only. As the Microsoft Blog points out, the deals run every day from December 1 (that’s today) through December 12, starting at 3pm ET.
On the first day of its deals, Microsoft sends to us, a Signature Edition HP Pavilion x360 13-s192nr for $499 ($150 off). This is a nicely-spec’d wraparound convertible with a 13.3″ HD touchscreen, an Intel Core i5-6200U processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB HDD.
Other than the slower-than-SSD spinning disk, this sounds like a plenty swift machine that would be great for a student or anyone else who doesn’t need the absolutely most powerful machine. And, as a Signature Edition, it’s free of any added crud and should enjoy optimized performance.
