Microsoft’s Black Friday deals start now, at prices as low as 10 cents

The newest Black Friday deal is already under way — and the deals start as low as 10 cents.

Microsoft is on a “10” kick because of its Windows 10 operating system (which, the company reminds us, just passed 110 million device installs). Thus, 10 days of deals — now through November 29 — with prices on digital items starting at just a dime.

Microsoft’s PC partners are also introducing dozens of deals on Windows 10 devices. The one that caught our attention: the Lenovo IdeaCentre Stick 300 (which turns any TV into a full-on Windows PC) is now $69. It’s a near doppelgänger to the Intel Compute Stick pictured above.
