The displays on these Alienwares are phenomenal, and with an i7 processor and GTX 1060 graphics card, there's plenty of power here to run your favorite games. Of all the computers on sale today, I would probably put this as my top recommendation. If you have the means, I highly suggest picking one up. If you want a solid laptop for some moderate lifting and you don't mind if it doesn't play Fortnite at max settings, the Dell Inspiron line is a good choice. The build quality on these is really nice and there's a good amount of power for your workspace needs. This little Acer's bang to buck ratio is pretty impressive. It doesn't have a dedicated graphics card, but the integrated graphics on Intel's i7 processor line will definitely meet most of your needs if you're looking for a laptop for daily use and not a gaming rig.
It can still hold its own for quite casual gaming, too. Touch-screen laptops are a weird thing, because you don't think you need the functionality until you experience it. Then when you go back to a non-touch laptop, you'll accidentally leave finger print smudges all over the screen because it turns out you DO like reaching out and touching it. Let's be honest: 99% of the time, you use a laptop to surf the internet. So you don't need to spend a lot of money to get that kind of functionality out of a computer. Other than it's super-low price, the other big draw of this laptop are the color choices to coordinate with your home's interior. I know I think about that sort of thing on the reg. If the Dell isn't exciting you, this is another great choice for a low-cost, low-power laptop that works well for probably 99% of the things you'll need it to do. Plus it has a touch screen, which is nice. I really like 2-in-1 laptops. The functionality of a tablet and a laptop built into one unit really appeals to me. 549 this is a sweet deal. Plus it has a stylus for drawing mustaches on your friend's photos. Omen's line of gaming gear is pretty solid, and this gaming laptop is nicely equipped. GeForce GTX 1060 graphics, Intel i7-7700HQ, 128GB drive for your OS and a 1TB hard drive for storage. Seth Macy is IGN's Tech and Commerce editor and PC gamer. Follow him on Twitter @sethmacy.
Walk into any college classroom and you’re likely to see a row of MacBooks. Apple’s laptop is a staple of college life because it’s particularly well suited for it. It is equally useful for productivity and entertainment, making it perfect for anyone who owns a single computer. The only problem is price. I never owned a MacBook in college because I could never afford one. If you’re in the same bind, I have good news. Students demand a lot from their laptops. Every major has a laptop for it, but there are some common points. They need it to be portable enough to take to class or to a study session, but they also need adequate performance. Students also use laptops as gaming machines, portable music players, and televisions. It’s a lot to ask for in one device. The laptops listed here meet these needs. They all have powerful processors.
They all last at least four hours on a charge. And they all handle basic games, HD video, and other entertainment needs. If you haven’t heard of Rockchip processors, don’t worry. Rockchip is well-known, and the Asus Chromebook C201 ranks among the better-performing budget laptops. 300, mainly because of its 13-hour battery life. If you need a laptop that lasts the whole day, this is it. The C201 also has a comfortable keyboard and large trackpad, but apart from that, you get what you pay for. The better option at this price, in my opinion, is the refurbished Acer Chromebook 14. Refurbished computers are a great way to save money. The manufacturer itself inspects and repairs refurbished models—and you get a heavy discount to boot. We’ve often said that Chromebooks are perfect for students. 300 to spare, the Acer Chromebook R11 is the absolute best you can buy. The big reason: Some Chromebooks run Android apps. In case you didn’t know, Chrome OS and Android are joining, and you can already run Android apps on some Chromebooks. Google officially says the Acer R11 is one of three Chromebooks that support Android apps.
