Budget Laptops

 

Budget laptops are often good value because they have fewer specs compared to more expensive laptops. They are ideal as a starting laptop for general all round purposes such as browsing, email and Microsoft Office related tasks. Multimedia and gaming with budget laptops tends to be a bit difficult, you may be able to watch a movie and listen to music on them but when it comes to disc burning, gaming and other heavier tasks and disk space, you’ll find that they may struggle. Within our range of budget laptops, we also feature Notebooks. Notebooks are a lot smaller than the average laptop and often come with limited specifications, in some cases, they don’t include CD/DVD drives. If you are after a cheap laptop, which gets all the basics done then the budget laptop section is for you. Compare Budget Laptops Below:

Laptops Compared Unique Scoring System

Our unique scoring system helps you choose the best laptop based on your personal requirements. We rank all the major components in the system to work out its overall score.

40-55% - OK to Good = Laptops for those on a budget. Good for everyday tasks, such as email, word processing and browsing the Internet but may not be suitable for graphics processing, gaming or other power-intensive applications.

56%-70% - Good to Very Good = Suitable for most kinds of additional activities including watching movies, playing music etc. Most games will run ok, although top-end games may struggle to run fluidly. Will be able to run more applications without slowdown than a budget product.

71%+ - Very Good to Excellent = The higher end of the laptop range. Price will often reflect this, although bargains are still to be found. Laptops will be able to run many more applications at once, modern games should run without issue on most of these products. Graphic and video editing will be possible (depending on individual specification). Hard drive storage should not be an issue for most users.
