Great specs for the price, but that Acer's also a bulky plastic box, not a slim, portable, attractive machine like the Surface Laptop Go.įor similar specs, you'd need to trade up to the $900 8GB/256GB version of the Surface Laptop Go. But within a few minutes of searching, I found a 15-inch Acer Aspire 3 with the same Core i5-1035G1 CPU, but 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, for $470.
It takes about five seconds to switch to regular Windows 10, which is what everyone will probably do immediately.īudget laptops flux in and out of stock very quickly these days, with everyone working and going to school from home.

That little glowing button is also a Windows Hello fingerprint reader.Īt $550, I'd say you're paying for the style and build quality, more than the components. But, it only has 4GB of RAM, a meager 64GB of storage, and lacks the integrated power button Windows Hello fingerprint reader the other models include. That very nice-sounding $550 price is for a version with the same Core-i5 CPU, same display, same aluminum body, same excellent keyboard, same decent webcam as all three base configurations.
At just under 2.8 pounds (1.2kg), it's light and portable, which would be great if anyone was going to school or work in person right now. The Surface Laptop Go starts at $550 (£549, AU$999) and has a 12.4-inch touchscreen display, 10th-gen Intel Core i5 CPU, a very good keyboard and touchpad and both USB-A and USB-C ports. Other budget laptops offer more for less (but don't look as nice).Entry model skimps on RAM and storage and leaves out fingerprint reader.
