If you’re looking to pick up an inexpensive laptop that punches above its price class, as we’ve unearthed a great deal for you today. The Asus Vivobook 14, a zippy laptop with a 1080p display, is on sale for just $249.99 at Best Buy. That’s a savings of $180. Better yet, its combination of a full HD display, an Intel Core processor, and a full Windows 11 installation blows the socks off the rock-bottom Chromebooks usually found around this price.
The Asus Vivobook 14 comes with an Intel Core i3-1215U CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of SSD storage. While the memory and storage capacities are light, they’re not a deal breaker for a $250 laptop, especially if you don’t run too many applications at once. The 14-inch 1080p display can only reach up to 250 nits of brightness, according to Asus. Although we’ve seen much brighter screens, you may see better battery life with this model–high brightness displays tend to be a huge power suck.
Overall, this is a very well-spec’d laptop for such a low price. Don’t miss out!
