Acer Aspire 8735 Battery

Armed with an 8th-gen Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM, this laptop provides incredibly smooth and lightning-fast performance without any hint of lag. And with its 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid state drive, transferring files is far from sluggish. However, its Intel UHD 620 Graphics GPU isn’t equipped to process graphically taxing games such as Battlefield V and Destiny 2. It will perform much better with older titles with less demanding graphics. Finally, in our continuous web surfing test, this laptop was able to last over 12 hours.
The Dell XPS 13 is thin, fast, and long-lasting, making it our favorite ultraportable thus far. And now that the nosecam, the one thing that marred the previous model, has finally met its demise, it’s practically perfect. Get it for $1,300 – $530 less than its normal retail price of $1,830 – on Dell’s official website.

Nowadays, you no longer have to shell out north of $1,000 for a decent laptop. With so many competing manufacturers in the PC-making business, they’re finding new ways to outsell each other, including aggressive price cutting. If you look closer, you’ll find that even the cheapest laptops possess a processor powerful enough for use at home, school, or work. Four such laptops are the Asus ImagineBook, Lenovo IdeaPad S145, Asus VivoBook 15, and MacBook Air. Get them at Best Buy right now for as little as $300.
If you need a good laptop for basic productivity work that won’t break the bank, the 14-inch Asus ImagineBook would fit the bill. It is a reasonably fast yet affordable laptop that’s light and attractive to boot. Right now, you can get it on Best Buy for just $300 instead of $500 — a huge $200 off.
The Asus ImagineBook laptop is stylishly simple with a clean Pure White finish and a textured lid. Considering its price, it is surprisingly elegant and doesn’t scream cheap. It tips the scales at just 1.7kg so it’s not going to weigh you down. Further, it has a quiet, fanless design that will allow you to concentrate while you work, making it perfect when working in libraries or cafes. This design lends it a longer battery life too and improves reliability by not sucking dirt and dust into the laptop. Although a fanless design does have its merits, this laptop, unfortunately, starts to get warm after a few hours of use and especially if you have multiple programs open. For connectivity, you get one USB Type-C port (very nice considering the price), a standard USB 3.1 Type-A and USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI port, and a microSD card reader. It doesn’t have a DVD/CD drive, but we expect that.
Inside the ImagineBook is an Intel Core m3 processor that’s suitable for everyday computing tasks. This isn’t the most advanced processor out there so we recommend not installing any CPU-intensive software on it. It comes preloaded with Windows 10 that offers full compatibility with a wide range of apps. Its Intel UHD Graphics 615 can handle everyday image quality processing for internet use, basic photo editing, and a bit of casual gaming.
For its price, we were surprised by how good this laptop’s display is. By no means is it the best screen out there, but nonetheless we’re quite happy with it. Colors didn’t look washed out and contrasts were good, although it’s not very bright and viewing angles are limited. The keyboard is also excellent. Keystroke was precise, nicely clicky, and the overall tying experience was a delight.
The Asus ImagineBook is unbelievably good for an entry-level laptop, garnering a terrific 4.4 out of 5 rating on Best Buy. Get it for the very reasonable price of $300 today.
The 14-inch Lenovo IdeaPad S145is primarily aimed at the budget-conscious market. With a base model that’s only $350 on Best Buy ($30 less than its normal retail price of $380), this is one of the cheapest portables that we’ve ever encountered. What you get is an all-plastic affair (unsurprising for the price) but it does appear robust and well-constructed. The plastic chassis also makes it super lightweight. You won’t have any difficulty lugging this laptop around.
The IdeaPad S145’s large 15.6-inch display provides plenty of screen real estate for doing productivity tasks, watching movies, or maybe even a spot of light gaming. But since it only packs 1,366 x 768 of pixel resolution, it is not very sharp and can prove lackluster to most people. It does lay flat at 180-degrees like all IdeaPad laptops, which permits other people a full view of your work presentation. Furthermore, this laptop’s keyboard is pretty good. The U-shaped keys are nicely clicky and have a slight bounce to them, and the sizeable touchpad is accurate and responsive. In terms of connectivity, this laptop has three USB Type-A ports. It doesn’t have a Type-C port but there is an HDMI port for connecting to an external monitor. There is also an SD card reader, but it’s a rather slow one.
