If you're looking for a cheap laptop under 500 dollars, this one will get the job done.

The keyboard and trackpad are adequate, but the trackpad could have been made slightly larger for better usability.
The materials used in this laptop feel cheap and plasticky, which might be a concern for frequent travelers or students.

Asus Vivobook 14

The Asus VivoBook X1400e is a budget-friendly laptop that falls short in several areas. Despite its affordable price tag, the device disappoints with a subpar 720p display, lackluster features, and cheap plastic build quality. While it boasts an I3 processor, one terabyte NVMe SSD, and 16GB of RAM, these specs are somewhat wasted due to the underwhelming overall design. This laptop is best suited for basic tasks like word processing and web browsing, but its limitations make it less desirable in a crowded market.

Asus ROG Ally X

The ASUS ROG Ally X is a high-performance handheld PC that promises to deliver unparalleled gaming experiences on-the-go. Priced at $800, this device boasts a robust processor, generous storage, and stunning display. Weighing in on its worthiness of such an investment, the Alli X's battery life, compared to its predecessor, makes it an attractive option for those seeking long-lasting handheld gaming. Whether it's a worthy upgrade or a great starting point for new users remains to be seen.
