The HP Elite x3 is the best you can get these days for a device running Windows 10 Mobile. The Holiday Bundle at the Microsoft Store gives you the complete 'x3 experience' with the Elite x3, Desk Dock, Lap Dock, Elite Case, and even a screen protector.
For some reason Microsoft had the price for the Holiday Bundle set for $1149, but it has now dropped even lower to $999 for a total savings of $462. Considering the Elite x3 sets you back $799 for the phone and Desk Dock that means you can get the Lap Dock for just $200 extra (plus a case and screen protector).
Tossing $1000 at a Windows 10 Mobile setup is still a lot of cash, but there is little doubt about the saving here if the Elite x3 system was something you were eyeing.
You can read my full review of the Elite x3 for more information or jump into our Elite x3 forums to see what others are saying.
Stay tuned for early this week for my video unboxing and review of the Lap Dock as well and get more deals from the Windows Central Gift Guide
