Microsoft is currently offering some extra incentive to consumers still using Windows XP.

The devices eligible for this deal include laptops, tablets, all-in-ones, and 2 in 1 PC’s. Brands available in the offer include Dell, HP, Acer, and several others.
Prices ranges are as follows:
- Laptops $279 – $699
- Tablets $229 – $499

The $50 gift card must be on a future purchase, and cannot be used as a discount on the purchase of these devices.
PCWorld reports that “nearly 30% of internet-connected PC’s still use Windows XP. Microsoft has announced that it will discontinue support and security updates for the operating system as of April 8, 2014. Computers still running Windows XP after this date will no longer receive security updates to protect them from viruses, spyware and malware.
