5 Windows 10 Notebooks You Can Buy Today

Over the next few hours owners of PCs running Microsoft’s Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 operating systems are finally getting Microsoft’s new Windows 10 operating system absolutely free of charge. It’s a worthy upgrade. Microsoft has fixed a lot of issues stemming from its Windows 8 operating system and introduced a fresh approach to the way it embraces tablets, notebooks and anything in between.

That some users are getting Windows 10 free of charge is noteworthy. For now, all the focus seems to be on those users. Slowly but surely, Microsoft’s hardware partners plan to flip that discussion. Windows Vista and Windows XP machines aren’t going to get Windows 10. Many of them have hardware issues that prevent them from doing that. Microsoft isn’t offering the free Windows 10 upgrade to the Windows Vista and Windows XP PCs that can.

HP, Lenovo and Dell are banking on these users finally upgrading their hardware. In fact, HP and Dell have machines available to purchase for anyone and everyone who wants one. Here are 5 Windows 10 notebooks that you can purchase today.

Dell Inspiron 14 3000 Series Non-Touch $229.99

For Windows 10 to be successful, Microsoft has to convince users that it’s the best operating system the company has ever made. That means giving them what they want, proper support for things that don’t have touch. The Dell Inspiron 14 3000 doesn’t have a touch display, but does fully embrace a new world in which users don’t need too much PC.

The 14-inch notebook comes with Windows 10 Home, 2GB of memory and 32GB of storage. To store everything else a user might need Dell is throwing in 100GB of OneDrive storage. There’s a microSD card slot, two USB 2.0 ports and 1 USB 3.0 port. Its processor isn’t the fastest – it’s an Intel Core Celeron Processor. It’s not meant for gaming, it’s meant for web browsing, checking email and playing some the mobile games available in the Windows Store. At $299, it’s a steal.

Good luck with your Windows 10 notebook purchase. Besides these machines available for order, some retail stores should have PCs running Windows 10 today available for purchase today too. That includes Wal-Mart, Staples and Best Buy. Remember, don’t feel forced into buying a machine that’s inside or outside your comfort zone. Windows 10 adapts to the device you have it on. If there’s a touchscreen, but no keyboard detected it’ll go into Tablet Mode. If there’s no touchscreen Windows 10 puts Windows Store apps in windows and has a Start Menu.
