Save on a new item every day until December 19th

Black Friday? Check. Cyber Monday? Check. Ongoing savings, Steam Weeklong Deals, and GOG DRM-Free Big Winter Sale? Check, check, and check again! Phew, talk about a busy holiday shopping season, and it doesn't feel like it's coming to a close anytime soon. Instead, more and more promotions keep popping up, like Microsoft's 12 Days of Deals starting with a Toshiba Encore Mini tablet for $79, marked down from $119.
It's the first of a dozen deals over as many days, and to sweeten the pot, Microsoft is throwing in a 16GB microSD card ($20 value) with the package. The tablet already has 16GB of built-in storage, so the microSD card brings the total storage space to 32GB, minus what's used for Windows and Office 365 Personal, the latter of which you get free for a year (a $70 value).
Toshiba's Encore Mini sports a 7-inch HD touchscreen display powered by an Intel Atom Z3735G processor and 2GB of RAM. Other features include a micro USB 2.0 port, microphone/headphone combo port, 802.11n Wi-Fi (Miracast enabled), front-facing and rear-facing cameras, and the aforementioned software.
Tomorrow's deal will feature an unlocked BLU Win HD phone for $129, marked down from $179. Beyond that, you'll have to keep checking the 12 Days of Deals website for the latest offer.
