Black Friday is always an event that is looked forward to when it comes to the end of each November, for the very simple fact that one will be able to save a whole lot of money in the process with the right deals in place from a range of vendors and retailers. If you have been hankering after some sleek looking Microsoft hardware to make up part of your gadget arsenal but have held off the purchase decision because you find it challenging to balance the books at the end of the month, fret not. Microsoft has revealed details of its Black Friday sale, where among them include a massive $430 discount off its family of Surface devices, as well as huge savings on Windows 10 computers. Even the relatively new Xbox One S will not be exempt from such price slashes, although you cannot expect a phenomenal discount but rather, a sizeable one.
Microsoft’s Black Friday 2016 deals will be launched online on Wednesday, November 23 at 9 p.m. PST. This is one day earlier that many other retailers, which might be a good place to start with an early mover advantage.

All of the Microsoft Surface deals will be available from Thanksgiving Day until Cyber Monday, which falls on November 28. These deals are not location specific, but will be made available to all Microsoft Stores and Best Buy locations.
