Microsoft has announced a range of offers on Surface and Xbox for Black Friday.
Bargain hunters are expected to spend hundreds of millions of pounds in the UK alone during the annual online shopping event, which will officially take place on November 23.
Microsoft has now revealed what shoppers can expect at its online Store, with offers on the Surface Book 2, Surface Go, Surface Pro 6 and Surface Laptop, as well as Xbox and Office 365 subscriptions.
Black Friday started in the US as a one-day Thanksgiving event about six years ago but has since spread to Britain and been extended to span several days. It’s now the biggest shopping day of the year, with more than £3bn spent in UK shops and online over the same weekend last year, according to the Centre for Retail Research. That was a rise of 12.2% on 2016.
