Premium Windows 10 PCs at a perfect price point

Written By published May 8, 2017

Today, we’re highlighting Windows 10 devices from our partners that light up features from the Windows 10 Creators Update at great prices.



When it’s time to shop for a new PC, we all want premium features, quality components, and the best performance possible. All of this used to only be available on high-end devices, but now you no longer have to make a trade-off between a high-end PC experience and a perfect price point – you can have both.

Our partners are bringing to life amazing, affordable devices, with many of the bells and whistles of the Creators Update. They are fusing the capabilities of Windows 10 and powerful Intel processors with the magic of their hardware to deliver the perfect balance of cost and capabilities.

Here are a few great options:

With the Creators Update, there are all kinds of cool things people can do with a pen, including using Windows Ink Workspace, writing in Microsoft Edge and drawing on your screen. The ASUS Transformer Mini T102HA (starting at $249.00) with Active Pen creates the feeling of writing with a pen on paper. The lightweight 2-in-1 is a handy tablet with a kickstand that lets you move the viewing angle 170 degrees combined with a HD 10.1-inch glossy touchscreen display that has 400cd/m² of brightness. The ASUS Transformer Mini T102HA is small, slim, and packs enough features to keep up with any program or task you throw at it.
