Windows 10 laptops: Which is best to get?

Microsoft has just rolled out the new Windows 10 platform. Although the new operating system does not require that much in terms of hardware upgrades, many users still think that with a new Windows version already out, it is time to also upgrade their desktops. 

For those upcoming laptops that already come preloaded with a full version of Windows 10, which is the best one? 

Gaming rigs 

One of the new features of Windows 10 is its Xbox One compatibility, and players can easily stream back and forth between the two Microsoft systems. For gamers, one of the trusted names in terms of performance-driven gaming rigs is Alienware, and the company's 2015 lineup comes Windows 10-ready. Aside from the high specs that come with its laptops, Alienware also features Graphics Amplifier options to its newer lineups, particularly the Alienware 15 and 17. This means that the device can be fitted with a full desktop graphics card, giving players full desktop visual experience in a portable setup. 

Budget laptops 

Although Windows 10 is new, most laptops released even before the platform rollout conform to Microsoft's newest OS version. For users, this means that they can fully utilize Windows 10 and upgrade their laptops at the same time without breaking the bank. 

Two of the biggest names in the mobile computing industry, Asus and HP, have budget laptops that are also Windows 10-capable. Asus has the F553MA 15-inch notebook, an entry-level mobile computer that comes for as low as $300. Meanwhile, HP has the Pavilion x360, a 2-in-1 hybrid laptop that can also handle Windows 10. 

Business workhorse 

For business purposes, Windows 10 has the integrated Start button and Universal Office apps, two of the most useful features of the new platform for business people. With the two options, users will have quick and convenient access to recent apps, files, and other Windows 10 controls. 

Lenovo, considered one of the top business laptop makers, concentrates on top-of-the-line hybrids, and the new Yoga 3 2-in-1 is no exception. With its thin clamshell-type form factor that is able to switch between laptop and tablet with just a full 360-degree turn of the screen, the Yoga 3 is among the highly-rated business devices.
