Portable, convenient and fun, laptops are a great choice for your home computer. They can be taken anywhere in the house and can even go along with you on errands. Traditionally, laptops have been expensive. However, they are rapidly falling in price and becoming more affordable. Here are some of the best budget laptops available for you to start enjoying today.
HP ProBook
Ideal for the computer user who wants to do a little of everything, this laptop retails for right around $500 dollars. The 15.6-inch screen allows great visibility, although it can make it a little cumbersome to move around. A separate number pad makes it easier to do worksheets while a 7,200 rmp hard drive ensures that the system will run fast. A fingerprint reader adds a nice security layer while the matte screen ensures that you can see your work even in bright sunlight. Ideal for students and small businesses, it may not be the best choice for anyone who will cart the computer around throughout the day. It’s also not the best choice if you are planning on doing a lot of gaming.
Lenovo IdeaPad
The best choice for gamers, this laptop offers resolution settings of 1366 x 768. A 750 GB hard drive can hold your favorite games, and the RAM and hard drive are both easy to upgrade. It can be slow to boot, and there isn’t as much processing power, so it may not be the best choice for people who are working on the computer. Gamers on a tight budget, however, will love the $500 dollar price tag.
Lenovo Essential G570
The large screen makes this laptop an attractive deal. Retailing for less than $500 dollars, this computer can handle most applications. The speed is a little slow for watching movies, but it can handle most other demands. The large 15.6-inch display is easy to see, and the 500GB hard drive can deliver the power most people are looking for.
Dell Inspiron 15R
Retailing for around $600 dollars, this laptop offers external expansion capabilities that allow users to customize it to better meet their needs. The storage, processors and memory can easily be upgraded, and Dell sometimes has specials allowing those upgrades to be made at no extra charge.
Acer Aspire One
Designed to be highly portable, this laptop features a lightweight, compact size and an impressive battery life. Weighing in at a little over three pounds, this laptop is extremely easy to carry. The battery will last from seven to ten hours, allowing you to cover meetings or take notes without carting around the power cord. Highly affordable, it only costs around $400 dollars. However, it has limited processing power and the keyboard may seem cramped, so it may not be the best choice if you need to do a lot of writing or other applications.
Dell Inspiron 14z
With a feisty red shell and a cool backlit keyboard, this is certainly a stylish computer. However, it has more to offer than looks alone. Its performance is strong, the battery life is good, and it delivers the performance you want. Excellent for carrying around on campus, this thin laptop is one of the best choices if you really want something slim and sleek. Retailing at around $600 dollars, it is worthy of being labeled one of the best budget laptops.
When you are ready for a laptop, you don’t have to set aside a small fortune. There are several budget laptops available that cost $600 dollars or less. Before choosing the one that’s right for you, determine what your needs and priorities are. A laptop with a 15-inch display may look fantastic, but it can be difficult to carry around all day. Likewise, one that is small and portable may not work for someone who needs the larger keyboard. Once you know what your top priorities are, you will be ready to invest in a quality laptop that is powerful and affordable.

I have the Acer, it is okay and good for the money. It is a little slower than what i would like and the battery life is short but I just keep it plugged in most of the time. I use it as my second computer and it works pretty good.

At this point of time, a lot of people prefer using laptop not just because it is already in trend but because it is portable and very handy at the same time. This will really help a lot of people who are planning to buy their own laptops which they can bring with them everywhere.

I don’t know about the Acer computer. I heard their products aren’t very good quality. Have you personally used one and if so, did you have any issues other than the small keyboard space.

you made me an easy choice to pick one out of these 6 beautiful laptops, i had pretty good experience with dell latitude, now thinking to change it and unfortunately my budget was lil bit short, thanks for your post.
I think you have quoted some of the best laptops in the particular range. I like ASUS laptops as they are both quality and economical laptops.
Have a look at my blog where I sited some of the nice laptops and tablets of 2012.
Thank you so much for this list! I’m looking to get a new laptop, but have been overwhelmed by the prices for most of them. I was starting to wonder if I could find a laptop with decent processing power at a reasonable price, so thank you for your help! From what I just read, I think I’m going to be leaning towards the HP or maybe one of the Dells.

i still believe that lenevo serves the best but comparing it with hp or Samsung or else,prices matters
The HP ProBook really looks great and I’d like to exchange my MSI laptop for a new one pretty soon. Thanks for the great article.
