The great thing about Windows 10 is that Microsoft has developed a vibrant ecosystem of OEM partners creating desktop PCs, ultrabooks and 2-in-1s for all types of consumers. Some of you may prefer old-school laptops with lots of ports and no gimmicks, others may be more interested in touch screens and stylus support, but in the end everyone should be able to find what they’re looking for.

If this not the case, Microsoft is here to help: this week the company highlighted a few Windows 10 PCs from its partners that should deliver “the perfect balance of cost and capabilities.” Some of them are currently on sale on the US Microsoft Store, which is even better. We’ve selected the most interesting models below:

2-in-1s:

  • At just ($249) $100 off, the ASUS Transformer Mini T102HA is one of the cheapest 2-in-1 PCs you can buy on the Microsoft Store, and it includes a detachable keyboard and pen.
  • Starting at $599, the Acer Switch Alpha 12 has a slightly bigger screen with IPS technology, a faster Intel Core processor and a a 165-degree rotating kickstand.
  • For the same price, you can also get the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S ($300 off), which has a beautiful AMOLED touchscreen plus some synergies with Galaxy smartphones through Samsung’s proprietary Flow technology.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
