It's the President's Day and Microsoft is giving away deals via the Microsoft Store. While we do not know exactly the connection between the U.S. presidents and giving away discounts, we'll take the bargain nonetheless.

Currently, one of the best deals you can get out of the Microsoft Store, the tech giant decided to cut back $100 from the price of the Surface Pro 4.

The models included in the deal are the Surface Pro 4 that comes with 6th Gen Intel Core m3 with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD ($799), 6th Gen Intel Core i5 with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD ($899), 6th Gen Intel Core i5 with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD ($1199), 6th Gen Intel Core i7 with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD ($1499), and 6th Gen Intel Core i7 with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD ( $1699).

Each of the different models comes with a Surface Pen and runs Windows 10 Pro. Some of the specs include 12.3-inch PixelSense touchscreen display with a resolution of 2736 x 1824, a battery life of up to up to 9 hours (according to Microsoft), and a 5MP front-facing and 8MP autofocus primary cameras.

Upon purchase of any model, you can also opt for a Surface Dock bundle for another $30 saving.

Gamers can also avail of the Xbox One deals. While no cash discount was given, Microsoft, instead, is giving away one free game plus a $75 gift code upon purchase of an Xbox One bundle.

"The Microsoft Store gift code is for, literally, the Microsoft Store, meaning the Microsoft Store online, so you can use it to buy Xbox games (in disc-based form), Xbox peripherals, or anything else (PCs, accessories, software) that Microsoft sells. It is not for Microsoft's digital stores like Windows Store, Windows Phone Store, or the Xbox Store," wrote Thurrott.

Buyers can choose from any of the three titles, "Watch Dogs," "Assassins Creed: Unity," or "The Crew," for their complimentary game.

The basic bundle still cost $349, which includes a 500GB Xbox One, a free game, controller with the option of getting the new wireless controller with 3.5mm headset jack, and other options.

As for the Band 2, fitness junkies can snag this wearable from Microsoft with a $50 off the regular price. From $249.99, the Band 2 is now down to $199.99. The device is capable of monitoring your heart rate, calorie burn and even sleep quality. It has 11 sensors, including a GPS, UV monitor and barometer.
