You get a nice, large screen with 1600 x 900 pixel resolution. It's also powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, 12GB RAM, and a 1TB hard drive for plenty of storage.

The Vivobook includes a free upgrade to Windows 11 Home operating in S mode. It's powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, 12GB DDR4 RAM for multitasking, Intel HD Graphics 5000 integrated graphics, and a 1TB hard drive that has plenty of space for all of your favorite applications and programs.

While the laptop comes with a 17.3-inch display with 1600 x 900 pixel resolution, it also supports HDMI output so you can connect to a larger monitor or just add some more real estate that way. Plus, despite the extra-large screen the laptop weighs just over five pounds and is less than an inch thick, so it can still travel with you. Other features include Wi-Fi 5, LED backlighting on the keyboard, and a built-in webcam so you can use the laptop for remote meetings or classes.

There are a lot of cheap Windows laptops out there, and many of them are regularly going on sale. If price is one of the most important factors for you when shopping for a new machine, be sure to check out the best cheap Windows laptops roundup we keep updated each week.
