Or you might want to prop up the X360 like a tent, on a table or desk, to engage in a Skype video call. After all, while there are times when you need to type you might just want to kick back on the couch and flick through e-books, music and games. The following is a look at four worthy picks that won’t break the bank.Ĭan’t decide between a laptop and a tablet? The HP Pavilion X360 (from $399) is a flexible Windows 8.1 machine with an 11.6-inch touchscreen that folds back and lays flat against the underside of the keyboard. Unless you’re going to try your luck, you’ve got a couple of options: Upgrade your existing PC to Windows 8.1 - go to and type “upgrade” in the search window to let the site scan your computer for compatibility - or pick up a new computer with a newer operating system pre-installed. You also won’t be able to contact Microsoft for technical support for any Windows XP-related issues, along with Microsoft Office 2003, which also won’t be supported past April 8. Why? Without official support, you will no longer be able to download software updates from Microsoft, including security patches, which could put you, your data and your computer at risk. This doesn’t mean your XP-based computer will self-destruct next week, but if you’re one of the legions of PC users still running this aging platform, it might be time for an upgrade.
Microsoft’s Windows XP, which debuted nearly 13 years ago, won’t be supported past April 8. An iconic operating system is about to retire.
