If they would have actually given me $650 off I would have done it, but since they are only offering $150 for my model and I wasted my time looking into it, I feel an even stronger dislike from Microsoft than I felt before.
Nice work Microsoft marketing team. Very shortsighted.
I partially agree, but:
1. Microsoft has a huge PR division and had at least some influence on this article.
2. The entire promotion from Microsoft is meant to be click-bait because they aren't providing any value I couldn't get already. There are already resale markets for used Macbook pros that provide the same pricing.
