Microsoft is climbing onto the summer sale and back-to-school bandwagon, and has rolled out a pretty sweet deal for its US buyers. Until August 14, students who purchase the Surface Pro 4 will get an Xbox One free alongside.

This promotional offer is only till August 14, after which the Surface Pro 4 will be sold at its original price.

Users buying only the laptop will not be able to avail this offer.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 was launched in October last year for a price starting at $899. It came to India in January this year, and was priced starting at Rs. 89,990. The laptop is being sold exclusively on Amazon India.
