Getting a good laptop for business or study doesn’t have to cost the earth these days. With a remarkable 40% reduction, the 14-inch Asus Vivobook is currently available for only $479.99 on Amazon, down from its original price of $799.99, placing it squarely in the budget-friendly range. By the way, that is the lowest price we have ever seen for this model!
This laptop is an incredible beast for the price, and it will handle your daily workload—including Windows 11—without any issues. It has a large 1TB SSD, 24GB of RAM, and an Intel Core i5-1334U processor. That is a more than respectable setup that surpasses almost every other laptop available for less than $500. Although it’s not a speed demon, it’s responsive enough, and even if the 14-inch 1080p display is the most common, it’s still not a slouch.
Its tiny and light design, weighing 3.09 pounds and measuring 0.7 inches thick, features a 720p webcam with a privacy shutter, a 180-degree hinge for flat positioning, 8 hours of active battery life, and sufficient ports (HDMI, USB-C, USB-A 3.2, USB-A 2.0, and 3.5mm audio). These additional features make it a good choice.
The touchpad’s keypad is one peculiar feature, though. Although having a keyboard on this small 14-inch device is wonderful, it is unorthodox to have it on the touchpad. If you don’t like it, don’t use it!
Are you looking for a reasonably priced portable laptop with a good display, good specs, and a useful battery life? For about $479.99, you can’t go wrong with this Asus Vivobook. What a fantastic value!
