It’s hard for me to decide on a laptop when everyone judges every single laptop based on if you can play this and that. For the few of us non gamers ,can anyone say if this is a great laptop for regular use, word, video watching, multitasking and having many tabs at once open.?

Daniel Arcure It is not. imo $150-$300 is budget, $400 and up is midrange, and $800+ is high-end or just overpriced.

[@ryukomatoi69420]

Di-Ferr 800 high end? Are you fucking mad? High end is something like 2000+ dollars. 400 is pretty low budget.

[@weendylry5598]

$400 for a laptop is pretty cheap . I bought a $400 acer laptop back in 2015 bc i was in a tight budget and boy, maybe because of the very cheap price, the laptop was so laggy even when I first used it. The graphic was trashy and all. One day i was in a bad mood and the laptop was lagging again. I got so angry. Blinded by emotion, I smashed the laptop so hard and caused it to turn off by itself. It won't switch on since then. Okay i know my comment doesn't really answer your question but yeah, $400 is very cheap for a laptop. $2000+ laptops like the yoga 920 is very overpriced for me.

[@jaxw2628]

In my opinion you should at least spend $800 on a laptop but not past $1,000.

2:06 I can run vanilla Minecraft just fine on mine, and with Optifine I can run at a respectable framerate for a laptop at this price point. What really impressed me is how well it handles Universe Sandbox 2 and even some Fallout 3. You have to mod it to trick the game into thinking you have an old Nvidia GPU or it will crash right after the beginning cutscene, but once you do that it will actually play at high settings and reach 40-50FPS.

I think a $400-$500 laptop is totally doable, but I think it makes more sense to spend an extra $100 to $200 in order to get that little bit of extra quality/performance that will make the machine easier to live with for the next couple years. Being able to put off upgrading longer is probably worth more in the long run than the up front savings.

[@tscffilms]

I decided to budget really high on my first DSLR and, thus, low on a laptop to edit footage from the camera. So, I paid 500€ for a Sony a6000 and 200€ for an HP 14 r-208nv (2 Intel Celeron up to 2.6Ghz, 500GB HDD, 2GB RAM, Intel HD) along with an extra 4GB RAM upgrade. I've been running Photshop, Sony Vegas and even After Effects and though it does perform decently, it's almost a steal of quality for that money. It does perform outstandingly. for a laptop of its price. I'll get an 8GB RAM for it

This video is useful. So many people ask me what's the best cheap laptop.

[@Evan2]

2:24 You replaced the deagle with an R8 in your loadout? Austin, I am ashame

[@mybeautifuldarknessx]

400$, " budget laptop"

[@brooks-powers]

Can this run GTA 5?

[@Niko-gr3yo]

Brooks Powers yea in maxed out settings with graphic mod in 4K at 789fps

[@edhardn]

789 FPS? Are you kidding me?

[@florisvoorthuijzen3997]

EB FLIPS of course not dumbass. Its fucking intel pentium

[@payasoinfeliz]

just have to turn on the hidden graphics boost. rightclick the intel system icon on the right, and then go to settings, and configure, and then there is a "poor person" menu where you can access $1000 specs on a $400 machine. simple.

[@froogalstoodent6591]

A nice choice! I've owned and recommended +ASUS for years! A thorough and helpful review :)

[@clintonfisher4493]

The thing about cheap laptops is they suck. Back in 2008 I bought a $249 laptop for emergency use when I moved out after graduation. It was cheap and fairly slow on anything other then web browsing. Arguably 9 years later most cheap laptops in that price range are still slow and still cheap while using virtually the same exact CPU but only with a gig extra ram.

[@shivarajpatil8699]

can anyone suggest me a good gaming laptop cheap

[@RexileM]

asus vivobook e20

[@RexileM]

or lenovo ideapad 110

[@arsal7959]

Shivaraj Patil acer aspire

[@hectorgaming03]

This may not be a gaming laptop, but I'll still recommend the HP Stream 14/11 2016 Edition, I have the HP Steam 14

[@alexandrosp537]

Try making one. This method is cheap and you can make it as you want it

[@guijesanchez9115]

Could it handle Photoshop and Final Cut?

[@Anitrex006]

Umm....Final cut only runs on Mac OS!

[@mybikeknowsnospeedlimits3169]

Guije Sanchez buy yourself a macbk bro.

[@petergriffingaming6115]

Or a windows laptop and run macos VM

[@adnaanmansuri6151]

I'm so happy I watched this video, I am now getting this laptop for school and am also building a ~$1k gaming PC as well and needed a cheap laptop

[@bilalonl]

Austin been liftin'

[@davidlencha2042]

probably the worst $400 laptop ever

[@amadali4036]

David lencha why

[@zynthio]

Your videos have gotten a maaaaaajor bump up in the production quality. It was good before, but wow its good now. Awesome job

[@bangunajipurboyo7087]

Your presentation is exemplary, Sir!!

[@TarzanGTI]

My $400 laptop, slightly used from Craigslist is a Toshiba Satellite nS55-A5295, bought two years ago, i7-3630QM quad core CPU, and 12 GB Ram, and no GPU ofc. But way better value than a brand new $400 laptop in 2016

[@user-xg6zz8qs3q]

Wow! This is insane considering that "ultrabooks" from 5 years ago weren't as nice or well equipped.

[@xtrasnaxy2094]

I got a Asus G551JW for 650 with a core i7 4th gen processor 8gb of ddr3 ram and a Nvidia Geforce 960m graphics card and a 1920x1080 screen, for 250 more its a HUGE upgrade! Especially if you are a gamer (which frankly I am)

[@bugsfm8840]

I have this laptop, and its pretty good. Yes, I know you can get better specs at this point, before I only used to care about specs. had a bulky acer. until I went to college and realized what really matters (for me at least): size, weight, and battery life. And this laptop checks all of them while still having enough performance (better than 2 GB netbooks). If you have any questions about this laptop let me know. And yes, it plays League at 60fps if you turn everything down.

[@felixiris3615]

So in essence, this is the perfect back to school laptop

[@zealox8086]

Hey, you can always use a low power EGPU. Would be interesting to see a video on how those work out for laptops in this kind of tier!

[@supercoolmunkee]

Why is it every time, I want to watch a tech review video, then all of sudden in the recommended list, I just click on one of Austin Evans' video.

[@neznasme8066]

Costs 300$ in Croatia in 2017 thinking of buying it because it's the only laptop for my price range!

[@MrMiggoH]

One thing I don't understand about laptops is why some high end laptops have a 720p screen and some $400 laptops have a 1080p screen.
