Solved Weird march break deal

[RémiM]

Weird thing.

On my SP3, I can see that the price of a HP Stream 7 is 99$ on the Canadian store.
Simultaneously, on the same webpage, I see 89$ on my Linux computer.

What's the reason for a march break deal 10$ more expensive on my SP3 than on my Linux?

 

[fletch33]

they figured if you have a SP3 you can afford the extra $10 or maybe its that a linux machine could be running on a 2003 Packard Bell and you cant afford the extra $10

buy it from Linux lol

 

[RémiM]

Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking.

It's an example of positive discrimination (even if my Linux is runing on a high end specs machine).

 

[RémiM]

Wow, If I sign-in to the MS store, the price becomes 99$ on my Linux.

Why ? I don't get it.

Have you tried from a mac yet?

 

[RémiM]

Yep, 109$....

 

[RémiM]

I think I figured it out...

I am using a VPN on my Linux, and I am connected to my University's network.

For some reasons it gives me a 10% student/prof discount.

I cleared my cache, that is why the price is now back to 99$.

Yep. Clearing Internet cache can fix a lot of errors. We all should do it once in a while.

Does it become $79 if you use a Raspberry pi?
