My Pick for the Best Budget Laptops!

 

 hey guys so you might be aware that we 

have been coming up with a review of 

different budget laptops recently and as

 rounding them all up here and ranking 

them across various factors a supercut 

of sorts although companies like huawei xiaomi and recently even realme have been doing great in the budget laptop the 

arena you won't find their laptops in 

more well-established laptop manufacturers like dell hp and the likes because of their wider market presence also, I will be awarding points to each device across 10 metrics with varying weightage for instance factors like design display performance battery keyboard and value for money that is of 

greater importance on a budget laptop 

will be scored out of 10 while everything else will have a top score of five so that's 80 points in total up for grabs so let's begin okay kicking off our list is the dell inspiron 153501 out of all the devices 

we have this one has the most typical 

budget laptop look dell has wrapped this up inside a matte textured plastic build that's immune to fingerprints or smudges however weighing 1.83 kgs this one's on the hefty side underneath you will find two sodium slots one of them pre-equipped with an 8gb ddr4 ram stick on top of this there are a 2.5 inches sata slot to add an ssd or hdd whereas the m.2 ssd is upgradable too powered by intel's 11 gen i5 cpu the inspiron 15 delivers decent performance for everyday usage however I am not quite fond of this display dell 

has used quite an inferior panel on this 

laptop which is lacking in saturation and even brightness levels as for battery this laptop gets a pretty small 42 watt ourselves which surprisingly delivered 6 to 7 hours of screen on time during my usage but juicing it up is painstakingly slow as 

the 45-watt power adapter takes nearly 

three and a half hours to fuel up this thing next up we have the hp laptop 14. the biggest selling point of this laptop 

is its price to performance with AMD's 

ryzen 5 5500u hexacore CPU inside the hp 14 promises the best value for money 

performance for a budget laptop I tried 

running some synthetic benchmarks like blender and as expected it outlast all the laptops in this list with intel's quad-core processors so if sheer power is what you're running at a relatively cheaper price the hp 14 is definitely among the top contenders likewise the hp laptop 14 also has an extra sodium ram slot while the m.2 SSD is swappable as well hp 14's display 2 is fine for a laptop in this price bracket with 250 units of brightness and 45 percent of NTSC color space however because of its cheaper price tag there are some caveats with the hp laptop 14. here although it is quite a lightweight laptop it does not feel as well built as it should have moreover the keyboard isn't backlit has rattling feedback and this gray on silver etching does not provide nearly enough contrast for easy visibility either and its battery endurance is strictly average only okay taking the bronze medal in our list of the best budget laptops is the asus fibo book 15. in all fairness this is a pretty well balanced laptop yet the reason I had to reserve it to number three is because of its price tag retailing for over 1 lakh rupees here in nepal or some 64 000 rupees in india the vivobook 15 is also the most expensive laptop on our list as a result this device is quite far behind in terms of delivering the absolute best bang for your buck still in all there's a lot to love about this laptop which starts with the design itself this The lovely gold variant surely stands out it has an attractive and minimalistic look that's sure to appeal to students business owners or enterprise grade users talking about the display the vivobook 15 has a 15.6 inches full hd screen with up to 300 nits of brightness 

and 100 srgb gamuts but that 

configuration is even more expensive and I found the middle of the line variant with 250 nits and 45 ntsc colors to be adequate enough besides this laptop has impressive speakers and also brings a visually distinct enter key for easy distinction and the keyboard itself 

feels pretty well built 

apart from this even though asus had a big 15.6 inches chassis to work with the company has fitted in a rather small 42-watt

watt battery on this laptop therefore 

the screen on time from using the vivobook 15 under the high-performance mode is pretty average 

for the number two spot we have the 2021 

edition of the acer aspire 5 which is another great budget laptop and this is the only entry to feature a discrete graphics card and entry level mx350 gpu 

which performs better than your average 

integrated graphics with this the aspire 5 also boasts a significantly better gaming capability than any other budget laptops even under high graphic settings I could get 40 to 50 fps in cs to go here to compare all in all this is a really capable budget laptop that can even 

handle light editing workloads aside 

from stellar performance the s505 has an equally appealing design its lit can be configured between multiple colors options like black blue pink silver and gold my only nitpick about its design and build quality is that for a 14 inches laptop it weighs a staggering 1.7 kgs moving on the display department 

here is your standard stuff with 45 ntsc 

gamut and 216 of brightness anyway the the keyboard on this thing offers incredibly soft feedback which I'm not too crazy about but I can see why some people prefer it the aspire 5 also gets a gray on silver laser engraving but unlike the The vivobook its backlighting is pretty 

effective 

acer has also fitted in a big 52 wattage a 

battery that can easily deliver 6.5 to 7 

hours of screen on time under a light to medium usage pattern 

finally our topic for the best budget 

laptops you can buy right now is the lenovo ideapad 3. from its premium design capable performance to everything in between lenovo has struck gold with this budget laptop yeah let's start with the design itself I mean this abyss blue the 

variant that I have with me looks 

especially stunning additionally for a 

15 inches laptop the ideapad 3 weighs 

just 1.56 kgs to make logging in simpler lenovo's flip to open feature is also 

something I admire that boots up the the 

machine, when you open up the lid, powered 

by the amd ryzen 5 5500u cpu you need 

not worry about the performance side of 

things either even though the ideapad 3 

and the hp 14 share the same cpu the 

synthetic benchmark on the ideapad 3 is 

better which goes on to show how 

effective the thermal solution on this 

laptop is still in all the display is where things go downhill for the idea the battery you see apart from the standard 215 its brightness and 45 ntsc color gamut its base variant packs a tn panel that contributes to the overall underwhelming display experience as a result, it suffers from terrible 

viewing angles whereas I find its 

brightness levels to be insufficient as well but depending upon the market lenovo also sells this with an ips panel with a higher 300 nits of brightness so I will encourage you to pay a little extra for 

the one with a superior display quality 

packing a moderate 42-watt battery I was pleasantly surprised to get six to eight hours of screen on time on this thing plus it even supports fast charging that takes the laptop from zero to eighty percent in just 60 minutes so there you have it guys our pick for the best budget laptops of 2021. we are also currently testing some of the mid-range gaming laptops of 2021 and thinking
