One of these days, I want to see an LMG staff member unbox and review a laptop in the truly budget category (sub-$500) and mention all the compromises that such a laptop makes to hit that pricepoint. Then, take someone with less experience with premium laptops to try out the laptop for a while to see how much these compromises affect the opinion of a layperson without the context of much better laptops.

Rich popular KZbinrs will never risk their reputation by reviewing and recommending forgettable cheap plasticky laptops under $400. Specially when it won't attract as many views as what they usually show. It would be considered a niche market to them. Reputation risk and low profit means a bad business investment in the research, purchasing, and script writing for that hypothetical episode. This coming from a guy who's yet to have an annual salary above 20k after taxes.

@@sutton4791 I'm not sure I'd completely agree. Some of LTT's most popular videos were the budget TVs/monitors series of videos. I think the issue with cheap laptops is that the LMG staff believe the experience is too poor, so they don't want to recommend something they believe their audience would not be satisfied with after purchase. There's also the e-waste argument. Linus has made clear his distaste for e-waste on numerous occasions, and cheap electronics will usually fail more quickly and easily while providing subpar user experiences, becoming items that will just fill a landfill somewhere. Since Linus dislikes the stuff, companies won't send them these types of products to review and unbox, and he won't go out buying them on purpose. Of course, I say all this as something Linus and the LMG staff think. I'm not so sure if actual average consumers care that much, which is why I asked for a second opinion on such a hypothetical video.

In defense, every laptop that I have purchased for myself has been in the $500 price point. And I would not consider them "a bad user experience". Then again... I have only ever owned either seriously obsolete and already mechanically failing, or near-$500, laptops, up until VERY Recently when I inherited my first "it's actually worth more than $500 by time I own it" laptop. A large gaming laptop with nearly exactly the same footprint as my older systems, just with VASTLY improved .... well .... everything. Except battery. 2 hours if I'm careful is usable, but a little tight even by my standards, and I wouldn't take it far without access to power. My objectively newest model in the "fleet" is my Lenovo Ideapad 330-15AAR. A Ryzen 5 *2500U (there is no 2600U, Josh...) based system. LMG would absolutely hate it, and many people who reviewed it thrashed it as well, however I love it and it served me well on an international vacation as my only computer for half a month. It was a highly worthy upgrade to my aging Asus M50v with a blown up GPU, and is superior in literally every way. Reviewers criticized its TN panel (okay I see why, but at this price point and time IPS was still out of reach), power throttling under sustained loads (I lost about 15FPS out of 90 playing Portal when it rolled back), and "pathetic" 3 hour battery life in favorable conditions. They also questioned why it can't charge over its USB-C port, but I'm barely getting my feet wet in the USB-C ecosystem, and was far deeper in "let's find creative ways to power things that have barrel jacks". I tuned mine to be able to run up to 4 hours. Which, coming from ancient machines where 3 hours was luxurious, this is plenty of power for my workflow, and if I need more, I have power banks capable of extending that significantly. My biggest complaint is that the touchpad does not behave the way I want it to. Two-finger scrolling acts bizarrely due to smoothing algo's (it'll run extremely slowly in some programs, and extremely quickly in others), and two-finger tap to right click doesn't work at ALL - you MUST click the touchpad. Which is actually annoying when I'm not used to press-clicking a touchpad because that's not a feature in laptops built in 2007... (I want my buttons below the touchpad back.)

@@TransparentlyDuplicitous You made valid points and I think those points are close to LMG's likely opinions. E-waste laptops/PCs will always exist. So it would still be nice if they made at least one video a year about actual budget laptops/PCs, like your original comment. It would help hundreds of thousands of people. They can do disclaimers on their view points regarding cheap laptops in the intro, what compromises to expect, and things to avoid.

A good budget laptop isn't $250-300 anymore, but $850+ is definitely not budget territory anymore. I bought my Lenovo Flex about a year ago for around $500. Has a ryzen 5 and 12 gb of ram (you can upgrade). I had to spend $60 on a larger ssd but that was it. But you could probably find some good stuff in the $350-500 range that would do great. This channel just doesn't do actual budget stuff.

re: audio, I'm getting that even on my old acer.. it comes with dolby software that has EQs and stuff. But realistically the audio with the dolby stuff on - even with a flat EQ profile and no settings - is what the audio SHOULD sound like, and the 'off' setting is just deliberately made to sound like crap so that when you turn it on it makes you go "wow, this dolby thing is amaaaaaaazing". gag. Bad part #2 is that several programs (mostly those that connect to an audio input device) trigger it to self-disable. Bad part #3 is that it doesn't just change the output.. it changes the mixing.. meaning that if I record the audio output, and play it back, those 'corrections' are applied twice, and anyone without that junk software will also effective hear it applied twice (once by dolby's software, and 'once' because on THEIR systems, the sound with the dolby stuff off would have sounded right to begin with). Maybe do a techquickie on this? Even if just your specific case?

@@Kiritomens I agree. The Dell was louder overall, with much louder highs. The highs were very muted on the HP. But the Dell was distorted and messy, especially on those loud high notes. I'd be curious for another comparison with the Dell at ~70% volume. It definitely sounded like the speakers were over-working themselves, and it's possible that at 70% it would sound way better, and better than the HP. Can't say for sure though without actually hearing it.

You want a "no budget" laptop. The best option you can get is no laptop, it's completely free and the experience isn't too bad. $200 or $400 windows laptop though? Pretty bad. That price you're only getting a chromebook unless you're fine with using a hyped up child's toy. If you don't care about features or quality, you can get a decent performing laptop for around $600 - but if it has one nice feature you can guarantee the performance is going to be horrible, and likely you can't upgrade it so you're going to need to replace it in a few years unless you're fine using something super shitty - you'd we way better buying a good used one.

I personally have this laptop( the exact same one they have), and owned it for about 3 months now, and for my work load as a student studying computer science, I personally don't regret it. The keyboard is actually really good and the feedback is incredible compared to other laptops I've own in the past, perfect snappy and tactical key witch, I will say that you do need finger lube for the trackpad, but it seems in the video that your unity has an issue with its trackpad. I was pressing down on it everywhere and couldn't find a single issue with it, it work just like a good trackpad. Also the keyboard flex is there, which is caused by the elevation of itself, its not really noticeable for regular use. The display if fine for outdoor usage, just gotta keep your brightness all the way up, and I can run valorant, in 1080 mid-high settings for refrence. I will say that it might be better to compare it more towards the xps 13, as of course the xps 15 is just better. over all its basically kinda like a xps 13 if it had a amd processor.

Y’all need to take the word “budget” out of the title. That’s a $1050 laptop. About double the price of what a normal person would consider “budget”. $1,000 is approaching the bottom end of the high end stuff, and is easily in the middle of a mid range laptop. Budget offerings are in the 350-600 price range, mid range is 600-1300 and high end is anything over that. Is there also an ultra high end (or “pro” or “luxury”) option? Yea, the new M1 Pro MacBook pros start at 2,000 and go all the way up to 6,100.

Yea. $800 for a small ultrabook is dead 'Mid-range'. Informally called _Budget_ or 'Low-end' is typically around $400-700. Below $400 is what we call 'Entry-level' for Windows laptops. Considering HP's 'High-end' *Spectre* model that is equal to Dell XPS 13 start at *950$* , the 1k+$ for a cheaply built Inspiron is really quite _beyond_ overpriced.

I got this laptop for college a few months ago, the biggest complaints I have are the unacceptable amount of Dell bloatware, and it not automatically switching from the speaker to headphones when I plug them in the jack. It may have something to do with the fact that I uninstalled the Waves Maxxaudio Pro software, but I have no idea. Anyway, eventually we did something right and this problem was mostly resolved, only now with a script popping up on the screen every time we plug in headphones. But oh well, that will have to do unless someone knows this issue and how to resolve it. It could be a hardware issue for all I know, and software is resolving it. Plus, I forgot to mention that there's something called Smartbyte that comes with the computer that I had to go out of my way to disable. It apparently slows down the internet speed.

“That’s not a ‘budget’ laptop! A ‘budget; laptop is priced at X dollars!” Consumer-targeted laptop prices go up to around $3500. Laptops priced at $1000 and below occupy the bottom-third of that price-range. That makes it perfectly reasonable to classify a laptop with a starting price of $850 as a “budget” model. Doesn't matter what a given individual is willing or able to pay. Besides that, it is often the case that buying the lowest-priced products works out to be more expensive in the end. There’s a saying: “Only the rich can afford cheap goods.”

I'd consider this low midrange for the year it came out, given there was also laptops like the Thinkpad X260 i7 for around the same price. People seem to think that prices have only gone up really recently... no. Prices have been up for fkn years. I'm looking at getting this for University and I'm impressed with the performance it offers for such a low price point at $750 usd.

@TheNextGamer21 it doesn't really matter, because of how the os works. For example you might say that the windows key on a windows laptop opens the start menu right, but osx doesn't really have such a thing. Instead there's a tab out key on the top of the keyboard that essentially does the same thing, and you can search from there. I can factually say, as both a user of windows (desktop) and osx (laptop), that apple make their computers a whole lot easier to use; if you're not a power user anyway. The fact is that not so much navigation with the keyboard doesn't matter nearly as much on a laptop as it does on a desktop, and if people are using desktops then they'd have a proper mouse anyway. I'm needing to buy a laptop due to incompatibilities with osx (software engineering), but that's the only reason I'd ever get a windows laptop/desktop. Apple makes very good devices, both software and hardware.

If we were to assume LTTs audience is North America then 800 can be budget cause ppl can afford that with a salary. Outside of first world countries, NADA.

The majority of people that watch LTT are people working in IT, software development or some kind of media role. The budget of those people is, of course, going to be higher than a minimum wage worker or someone who can't afford tech. A 1000 dollar laptop is the cheapest laptop that will accomplish any task you throw at it. anything less and you will have compromises. Lastly, there are exponentially more "truly budget" laptops than flagship laptops, LTT isn't able to go through every sub 500 dollar laptop and pick the best one. The average LTT viewer is perfectly capable of finding a laptop for the price they want, videos like these are to show off the best of that price range.

I own this laptop, they received a faulty model. The battery life on this laptop is great about 7-8 hours with video playback, and there is less deck flex than what is shown in this video. Additionally this laptop supports the pn350 stylus which means you can do pressure sensitive drawing on the screen.

This is why I like office-targeted laptops better than consumer models. They're usually a bit chunkier, and you don't always get the latest and greatest bells and whistles, but because they're supposed to last through a corporate refresh cycle they're solidly built and easily repairable. My current laptop is a Latitude 5480. It's a couple years old, but it still has an i7-7820HQ and dedicated graphics (Nvidia 930MX, mediocre graphics but still) running a 1080 panel. It cost about the same as both of the laptops in this video (as an outgoing model, I admit), but the keyboard flexes even less than that HP. If you're in the market for a really budget-friendly laptop, look into refurbished, off-lease business machines. You'll get more for your money than you would out of a new machine at the same price point. $500 can go a long way, as long as you don't care about that new computer smell.

At first I was happy to finally see a review for the laptop that I had been issued with at work (dell latitude 7420). But then I realised that the video featured inspiron 14. They actually look almost identical from the outside. But differences are quite remarkable - chassis is much stiffer and well IO is different. And well I now appreciate down-facing speakers in a business or just a regular laptop that often sits in clamp mode on your desktop plugged into a monitor via type C cable.

i swear they took my old inspiron 13 5378 2-in-1, put a bigger screen in, upgraded the processor to ryzen 5000 from 7th gen intel, modernized it, kept the design, and said done, and im not mad about it, my 5378 has a great design even though its 2cm thick and is plastic, is upgradeable, good value, good keyboard, fine touchpad, decent screen, and is touchscreen

2:50 -- I don't understand. Does Alex have a fetish for fingerprints on his screen or something? Touchscreen monitors are a boat that left me on the island. "Hey, get on the screen fondling partyboat with us!" "What? Screens are not for touching!"

This is my first Dell. I'm a user of MacBook air 2017 for 3 years and that's the longest time I have been using a laptop because of work from home. I used PC for the longest time and used old HP pavilion and Dell laptop for a little while. I don't know how the new Dell laptop trackpad feels but whenever I use it drags instead of click. Like instead of clicking a tab it opens on a new window. Are you experiencing the same? It's that the bug that you mean? I have never experienced it with any other laptops I used.

The problem with those 2230 M.2 SSDs is that I don't know of a single model that isn't DRAM-less. So performance is gonna be pretty spotty on those.

@@moyatooctopus yes HMB (if actually supported by the he drive, for that Kingston drive the data sheet doesn't even state whether it's TLC or QLC but they advertise the impossibility of firmware updates as a feature 😞) does help to make it not utterly miserable anymore. Performance still falls well below the drives with Dram though so it's still worth mentioning

I have this in 15 inch, touchscreen but not 2 in 1, 512 gb ssd, 16 gb RAM, Ryzen 7 5700U. I bought it on sale for $700 a few months back. It's a nice laptop but I don't game and was surprised that as far as productivity, it wasn't noticeably faster than my previous laptop which was an Intel 7 7th generation. I was really expecting some way bigger advances. It does feel really well built, with a nice keyboard and screen.

the plastic of the dell laptop is kinda a dealbreaker. those would give me flashbacks of my old dell laptops where the side of the case broke, or if I dropped it, damage could reach internals.
