Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be over but here's a deal you cannot miss - Microsoft will offer Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet at a bargain price of $99 on Monday. Those who want to grab the deal must be quick since only 20 units of the eight-inch tablet will be offered at each brick-and-mortar Microsoft Stores. After the initial batch have been consumed,10 more units will be sold at $199 each at some stores while other stores will have an until supply last deal. The original price of the Dell Venue 8 Pro is $299.99, so either deal ($99 or $199) is a steal .
Those who prefer to buy online has to scramble fast too, as only 100 units will be made available for the tablet sale. Once the initial volume of units have been sold, the sticker price goes up to $199 until the inventory gets depleted.
