Microsoft Wants You To Trade Your MacBook Air In For a Surface Pro 3

[DEAD7]

Microsoft is offering a limited time Surface Pro 3 promotion via which users can get up to $650 in store credit for trading in certain Apple MacBook Air models. The new promotion, running June 20 to July 31, 2014 -- "or while supplies last" -- requires users to bring MacBook Airs into select Microsoft retail stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada. (The trade-in isn't valid online.)...To get the maximum ($650) value, users have to apply the store credit toward the purchase of a Surface Pro 3, the most recent model of the company's Intel-based Surface tablets.

Microsoft is not in a position to offer $650 per MacBook air. They should swap that shyt straight up...eat the loss Microsoft

$650 max??? Microsoft low balling when they know they can eat the loss.

 

[DEAD7]

I wonder how much they recoup in precious metals from these buybacks...



... but yeah, they should eat the loss if they want to move the Surface.

Only $650?

$650 is how much it's really worth. Microsoft is smart this time.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Yea... Trade that shyt in so I can re-purchase one on the low

Surface Pro is actually a solid tablet, especially since it runs Windows 8. Too pad they removed the Wacom digitizer in the latest model and went with some other brand. It's quite expensive though.
