I haven't seen a better convertible PC deal than this one on Memorial Day
Memorial Day deals are live everywhere, and I'm seeing plenty of deep discounts on Windows laptops.
HP's OmniBook 5 Flip is a convertible laptop with specs and features that usually cost a lot closer to $1,000. It's priced at $900 at HP's official site, and it's normally $800 at Best Buy.
Right now, however, you can pick it up for $449.99 at Best Buy while supplies last (or until Memorial Day comes to an end).
HP OmniBook 5 FlipWas: 799.99Now: $449.99 at Best Buy
This discounted convertible PC is part of HP's latest brand refresh, and it's made for casual computing, streaming, and TV watching. It has some great features you don't usually find in a laptop so affordable.
Display: 14 inches, 1920x1200 (FHD+), IPS, Touch. CPU: Intel Core 5 120U. GPU: Intel Graphics (Integrated). RAM: 8GB LPDDR5. Storage: 512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.
👉See at: BestBuy.com
Return period: 15 days. Price match? Yes (Also applies within return period). Free shipping: $35 minimum. Membership: My Best Buy w/ free shipping, exclusive deals, 60-day return period, & expanded support.
💰 Price check: $899.99 at HP
👀 Alternate deal: $599.99 OmniBook X (Snapdragon X Plus) at Best Buy
Spending $449 on a laptop doesn't always deliver the best results. However, the OmniBook 5 Flip certainly belongs to a higher tier due to its included features.
It's a 14-inch convertible PC that can be used as a notebook or tablet, with tent and stand modes in between. It has an aluminum chassis that'll stand up to use and abuse much better than plastic, but it only weighs about 3.6 pounds.
The backlit keyboard is comfortable (HP arguably offers the best typing experience right now), the touchpad makes good use of space, and there are plenty of ports, including two USB-C 3.2 (Gen 2) and HDMI.
Wireless connectivity is handled by speedy and reliable Wi-Fi 6E, with Bluetooth 5 for accessories.
A 14-inch touch display works with active pens for inking, and it has a 1920x1200 (FHD+) resolution to accommodate the taller 16:10 aspect ratio. Above the screen is a 5MP webcam with an IR sensor for facial recognition through Windows Hello.
Performance is centered around the Intel Core 5 120U CPU with 10 cores, 12 threads, and a clock speed up to 5GHz. It lacks a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for local AI tasks, but that ends up saving you money.
Joining the CPU are 8GB of LPDDR5x RAM and a 512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. Altogether, that's enough power for standard, everyday computing, productivity, and homework.

Windows 10 will die this fall — here's how to survive
You've probably heard the news by now: Windows 10 is slated to reach end of life on October 14, 2025. If you're one of the countless among us who still use Windows 10, don't stress — your copy of Windows won't suddenly shut down and self-destruct if you turn it on after October 15. However, the clock is ticking. Over time your Windows PC is going to become a problem. After October, Microsoft claims it will no longer offer tech support or release security updates for Windows 10, so you want to do something about it sooner rather than later. I know because I review Windows and Windows PCs for a living, so I've been following this story since Microsoft first pronounced the death of Windows 10. I also wrote our Windows 11 review, and I think it's gotten a lot better since it debuted in 2021. So if you're ready to make the upgrade to Windows 11, I'll guide you through the process and get you set up right. But if you're not ready to make the jump, you still have time to enjoy Windows 10. In fact, there are a few ways to keep getting critical security patches from Microsoft for a full year after the company kills it off. Not ready to give up and upgrade to Windows 11? Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Good news: Microsoft is offering an Extended Security Updates (ESU) program that will allow you to keep receiving critical Windows 10 security updates for an additional year. The company is rolling out a new ESU enrollment wizard to Windows 10 users that will nag you to join the ESU program so your copy of Windows 10 can continue to get critical updates after October 2025. That's right, you can give your copy of Windows 10 a stay of execution until October 13, 2016 if you enroll. Microsoft has offered similar extension programs during past Windows upgrade periods, but they've typically only been open to enterprise customers and big businesses. This is the first time the rest of us can enroll in such a program, and Microsoft is charging you $30 for the privilege. But paying is just one of the ways you can avoid upgrading to Windows 11 for a year via the ESU. There are two other options you can take advantage of if you'd rather not pay: Paying 1,000 Microsoft points: if you have at least 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points sitting dormant in your Microsoft Rewards account you can cash them in via the Windows 10 ESU enrollment app in exchange for a free year of critical Windows 10 updates. if you don't, it doesn't take long to earn them — you can earn 500 Microsoft Rewards points just for downloading the Bing smartphone app, for example. Back up your data to Microsoft's servers: If you'd rather not spend Microsoft Rewards points or real money, you can also qualify for a free year of Windows 10 extended security updates by backing up your data and settings using the new Windows Backup app. You can use this app to back up your data and settings to Microsoft's OneDrive servers. By default every Windows 10 user gets 5GB of free OneDrive space, and it's possible to get more by either paying or taking advantage of free offers. But even if you don't have enough OneDrive space to back up all your data, you can at least back up your Windows settings and whatever else you can fit in OneDrive and still get the free year of Windows 10 ESU program updates. However, be aware that this means trusting Microsoft with your data. Look, at some point you should probably bite the bullet and upgrade to Windows 11. I didn't love it at first either, but once I got used to the visual redesign and some of the essential Windows 11 keyboard shortcuts I was able to work a lot more comfortably in the latest edition of Windows. So if you want to get ahead of things and upgrade to Windows 11 before Microsoft forces you, the first thing you need to do is verify your PC meets the Windows 11 system requirements to upgrade. You can do this by using Microsoft's PC Health Check app, which will tell you whether or not your PC can make the change. If you do qualify to upgrade to Windows 11, I recommend you back up your files and upgrade immediately. You can back up your files using the free Windows Backup app or one of the best cloud backup services around, then use the Windows Update app (hit the Start button and type "Windows Update" to find it) to upgrade to Windows 11. If that doesn't work, you can check out our guide to how to upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 10 for detailed step-by-step instructions. Once you've upgraded, your PC will restart and you'll be living that Windows 11 lifestyle. If you don't quality, I'm afraid you should probably look into buying a new PC to make the jump to Windows 11. While it was possible to install Windows 11 on unsupported PCs (typically those lacking TPM 2.0 modules) for some time, Microsoft has cracked down on those loopholes over the years as it works to make Windows 11 more secure. So if your PC is too old to make the switch, I heartily recommend you upgrade your PC. The best Windows laptops on the market right now are amazing machines that are lighter, faster and longer-lasting than any Windows laptop of the last decade—and I should know, since I've been reviewing laptops for roughly 15 years.

Best Buy's Apple Shopping Event: which M4 MacBook is the best buy for you?
Best Buy's Apple Shopping Event ends tomorrow, Sunday, August 10. The MacBook Air M4 is on sale and it's just what the doctor ordered for professionals and those going back to school. For two more days, you don't want to miss the Apple Shopping Event at Best Buy where you can get even more great Apple goodies. Since Apple deals en masse are so rare, it's certainly worth taking a look at everything the sales event has to offer. However, we've got two MacBook Air M4 deals that are seemingly identical we think you should look at. They both originally start at $1,199 and drop $200 to $999. But that's where the similarities stop. Tap the buttons below to see the laptops up close yourself or keep reading to see which one is right for you. Which MacBook Air M4 deal at $999 should you buy? Is the bigger laptop better? Not necessarily. The 15-inch version of the laptop has 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage while the 13-inch version has 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. That means the real battle here is if you prefer screen space or storage space. If you have access to ample cloud storage and live with near constant access to WiFi, the 15-inch MacBook is likely better for you. That is, unless having a smaller laptop makes it easier to get out and about. If the 15-inch laptop is too big for your bag or purse (it comes out to being 13.4 inches wide side-to-side) then it's also not going to be that great for you. In that case, the 13-inch laptop is better for you. Anyone that needs access to storage outside of cloud storage, including people that want to have lots of apps running on their machine. Tap the button below to get the MacBook Air M4 of your dreams while the Best Buy Apple Shopping Event lasts. They're both marked down to $999 from $1,199, a savings of $200. Alternatively, split the difference between the two sizes and peruse our list of the best 14-inch laptops.

Don't miss this chance to buy the Apple iMac M3 with a $500 discount
If you've been waiting for iMac deals to buy one of Apple's all-in-one computers with a huge discount, head over to Best Buy. The Apple iMac M3, which is originally sold for $1,799, is currently on sale for $1,299 as part of the retailer's Apple Shopping Event. Time is running out if you want to take advantage of the $500 in savings though, so act fast and proceed with your purchase as soon as possible. Why you should buy the Apple iMac M3 The Apple iMac M3 is no longer the latest version of the all-in-one computer as the Apple iMac M4 was released last year, but it's still a 'powerful and dominant' device as we described it in our review. With the M3 processor combining with a 10-core GPU and 16GB of RAM, its performance is going to be enough for most people. The Apple iMac M3 is an excellent machine for working with graphics, and it can even run some of the best PC games, which was impossible for previous generations of Apple's Mac computers. The 24-inch display of the Apple iMac M3 offers 4.5K resolution and supports 1 billion colors, for one of the best screens that you'll ever see in an all-in-one computer. It also features a 1080p FaceTime camera and a studio-quality three-mic array for making video calls, a six-speaker sound system that supports spatial audio, and ample storage space for your apps and files on its 512GB SSD. The Apple iMac M3 also comes with a Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard, so everything that you need for a complete computer setup is included in the box. Best Buy's $500 discount for the Apple iMac M3, which slashes its price from $1,799 to $1,299, might not make it to the end of the retailer's Apple Shopping Event. That's because Apple deals almost always get sold out quickly, due to the popularity of the brand's devices. Don't waste any more time — add the Apple iMac M3 to your cart and finish the checkout process immediately if you want to get the all-in-one computer for a much more affordable price than usual.
