Lenovo Ideapad 510<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_hawk subtitle\">\n<p>A powerful and stylish 15.6-inch laptop<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>There have been some generous offers going of late for this popular Lenovo series. Any choice between the 6GB and 12GB RAM options should run multiple reasonably-demanding standard applications at once. Drive sizes vary from 256GB solid-state to 1TB spinning hard drives. Plus, some options include dedicated Nvidia GeForce GTX 940MX graphics.<\/p>\n<h3>2. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/asus\/\">Asus<\/a> Transformer Mini T102HA<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_hawk subtitle\">\n<p>A budget 2-in-1 bargain<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>This is one of the most value-packed 2-in-1 laptops we&#8217;ve seen in a while, an ideal entry point to casual users wanting to try out the world of these higher function tablet\/laptop hybrids. Specs include 4GB of RAM, 128GB of solid-state storage, a 10.1-inch HD (1,280 x 800) screen, Windows 10 and a quad-core Intel Atom processor.<\/p>\n<h3>3. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/hp\/\">HP<\/a> Laptop 15<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_hawk subtitle\">\n<p>Big specs, small cost<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>There&#8217;s some hefty grunt under the shell of this HP Laptop 15 and there are some great prices available as well. Even with the Intel Pentium processor and 4GB of RAM to start, this laptop will whip through pretty much any day-to-day activity you can throw at it without the juddering performance of even cheaper laptops. Hell, it&#8217;ll even have a decent crack at playing a few of the less demanding games out there if you equip it with an Intel Core processor.<\/p>\n<h3>4. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/acer\/\">Acer <\/a>Swift 3<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_hawk subtitle\">\n<p>Apple looks and feel for hundreds less<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>From afar, this laptop might be mistaken for a MacBook Air, which tells you a lot about its level of quality. Replete with an all-metal frame, this is probably one of the best-looking laptops for under 500 bucks. There are plenty of ports (old and new), 4GB of RAM and up to 512GB in solid-state storage. The cheapest models have a respectable Intel Core i3 processor, but you can get the more powerful i5 versions if you need that extra kick. Another dig at Apple? Unlike the Air, this laptop sports a fully HD screen.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-best-deals-on-our-favorite-laptops\">The best deals on our favorite laptops<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;ve reviewed loads of laptops over the years: we&#8217;ve seen the good ones, the great ones and the ones to avoid. Sometimes, the\u00a0best laptops\u00a0pop up online at some truly deal-tastic prices. In this section, we list the very best laptops out there and the best deals on each one.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Dell XPS 13<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_hawk subtitle\">\n<p>Dell&#8217;s latest Ultrabook is simply the best laptop in the world<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>CPU:\u00a0<\/strong>Intel Core i3 \u2013 i7 |\u00a0<strong>Graphics:\u00a0<\/strong>Intel HD Graphics 620 |\u00a0<strong>RAM:\u00a0<\/strong>8GB |\u00a0<strong>Screen:\u00a0<\/strong>13.3-inch QHD+ (3,200 x 1,800) |\u00a0<strong>Storage:\u00a0<\/strong>128GB \u2013 512GB SSD<\/p>\n<p>The Dell XPS 13 is, bar none, the best laptop you can buy today. It features a revolutionary design that&#8217;s astonishingly thin and light. Fitting a 13.3-inch screen into such a small frame means Dell has created a nearly borderless Infinity display. It&#8217;s a powerful and long lasting machine even by today&#8217;s Ultrabook standards. The XPS 13 comes outfitted with Intel&#8217;s latest Kaby Lake processors plus lighting, quick storage and memory, all while coming in at a very affordable starting price. For these reasons, it easily takes the top slot as the best\u00a0Ultrabookand the best overall laptop.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Asus Zenbook UX310<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_hawk subtitle\">\n<p>This laptop should cost a lot more than it does<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>CPU:\u00a0<\/strong>Intel Core i3 \u2013 Core i7 |\u00a0<strong>Graphics:\u00a0<\/strong>Intel HD Graphics 620 |\u00a0<strong>RAM:\u00a0<\/strong>4GB \u2013 16GB |\u00a0<strong>Screen:\u00a0<\/strong>13.3-inch, FHD (1,920 x 1,080) \u2013 QHD+ (3,200 x 1,800) |\u00a0<strong>Storage:\u00a0<\/strong>500GB \u2013 1TB HDD; 500GB \u2013 1TB SSD<\/p>\n<p>The Asus ZenBook UX310, the long awaited follow-up to the ZenBook UX305, sports a 7th-generation Intel Kaby Lake processor and an all-aluminum frame, truly a candidate for the MacBook Air\u2019s throne. That\u2019s thanks in no small part to the ZenBook UX310 offering all the latest ports, including USB-C, and the option of a beautiful QHD+ (3,200 x 1,800) display, complete with 178 degrees of rotation and a serious case of the anti-glare.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Acer Aspire S 13<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_hawk subtitle\">\n<p>Proof the MacBook Air is getting old<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>CPU:\u00a0<\/strong>Intel Core i3 \u2013 i7 |\u00a0<strong>Graphics:\u00a0<\/strong>Intel HD Graphics 520 \u2013 620 |\u00a0<strong>RAM:\u00a0<\/strong>4GB \u2013 8GB |\u00a0<strong>Screen:\u00a0<\/strong>13.3-inch, FHD (1,920 x 1,080) anti-glare IPS touch |\u00a0<strong>Storage:\u00a0<\/strong>128GB \u2013 512GB SSD<\/p>\n<p>Arguably, the MacBook Air is no more, but the clones never stop coming. Among them is the Acer Aspire S 13. It\u2019s not quite as thin and light as many prominently featured Ultrabooks, nor is it particularly premium. However, the Aspire S 13 packs quite a punch when it comes to performance. USB-C and a full HD display put it just over the edge in beating out the 13-inch Air, and for a much lower cost. Despite the powerful CPU, the Acer Aspire S 13 even manages a <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/acer\/aspire-6930-battery.htm\">Acer Aspire 6930 laptop battery<\/a><\/strong> life of 7 hours and 49 minutes, according to our testing.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Dell Inspiron 15 Gaming<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_hawk subtitle\">\n<p>Gaming on a budget done right<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>CPU:\u00a0<\/strong>Intel Core i5 \u2013 i7 |\u00a0<strong>Graphics:\u00a0<\/strong>Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 \u2013 1050 Ti; Intel HD Graphics 620 |\u00a0<strong>RAM:\u00a0<\/strong>8GB \u2013 32GB |\u00a0<strong>Screen:\u00a0<\/strong>15.6-inch, FHD (1,920 x 1,080) \u2013 UHD (3,840 x 2,160) anti-glare |\u00a0<strong>Storage:\u00a0<\/strong>256GB \u2013 512GB SSD; 512GB \u2013 1TB HDD; 8GB SSHD<\/p>\n<p>It is relatively pricey, but this Inspiron absolutely nails it when it comes to value, especially for hardcore gamers. This is among the strongest laptops housing Nvidia&#8217;s new, low-end GTX 1050 graphics chips. The latest Intel Core series processors, full HD displays and tons of storage options make the Inspiron 15 Gaming a fine solution for PC gamers on a budget.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Lenovo Yoga Book<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_hawk subtitle\">\n<p>Is this the netbook of the future \u2013 the ultra netbook?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>CPU:\u00a0<\/strong>Quad-core Intel Atom x5 |\u00a0<strong>Graphics:\u00a0<\/strong>Intel HD 400 |\u00a0<strong>RAM:\u00a0<\/strong>4GB |\u00a0<strong>Screen:\u00a0<\/strong>10.1-inch (1,920 x 1,200) LED |\u00a0<strong>Storage:\u00a0<\/strong>64GB flash<\/p>\n<p>Lenovo has crafted a brilliant, forward-thinking device that could very well create a subcategory in computing all of its own. The modest specs hold it back from taking on the big boys in terms of raw power, but the innovative digital touchpad keyboard and drawing surface look like trendsetters to us. The Android version is currently about $100 cheaper than the Windows one (click &#8220;see all prices&#8221; above to see all options).<\/p>\n<h3>6. Asus Chromebook Flip<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_hawk subtitle\">\n<p>The premium Chromebook is finally affordable<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>CPU:\u00a0<\/strong>Intel Pentium 4405Y \u2013 Intel Core m3-6Y30 |\u00a0<strong>Graphics:\u00a0<\/strong>Intel HD Graphics 515 |\u00a0<strong>RAM:\u00a0<\/strong>4GB |\u00a0<strong>Screen:\u00a0<\/strong>12.5-inch, FHD (1,920 x 1,080) LED backlit anti-glare |\u00a0<strong>Storage:\u00a0<\/strong>32GB \u2013 64GB eMMC<\/p>\n<p>Before Asus&#8217;s latest flipping Chromebook came around, pickings were slim when it came to affordable models with full-on Intel Core processors and 1080p displays, not to mention touchscreens, backlit keyboards and USB-C ports. It may use an Intel Pentium chip on the low-end, but the Asus Chromebook Flip is by no means low-end. Compared to what\u2019s offered by the competition, the Asus Chromebook Flip\u2019s value is unparalleled, and that\u2019s without getting into its pristine tablet mode, which blows other hybrids completely out of the water.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Microsoft Surface Pro 4<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_hawk subtitle\">\n<p>The tablet that can replace your laptop<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Can a tablet really replace your laptop or home PC? That&#8217;s still up for debate, but the best tablet trying to make that happen is the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 \u2013 and it does a fine job with the full blown version of Windows 10, an integrated kickstand and optional keyboard attachment. Great for for creative professionals, students and everyday folks alike \u2013 it&#8217;s only the premium price that pushes it down the list, but if you&#8217;re willing to pay for it, you&#8217;re getting a lot of power \u2013\u00a0<em>a lot<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best laptop transaction in the United States is designed to provide you with a cheaper laptop, but it&#8217;s hard to find.
