Value Laptops 2022

Value Laptops 2022

Want the best value for your money on a laptop in 2022?

This is targeted mainly at students and bloggers; people who need a do-it-all laptop that won't bust even a modest budget.


I'm very pleased with the direction that the industry has gone in the last few years. I've long recommended computers with an SSD, or solid-state drive, because they truly are that much better than the old spinning hard drives. It's like comparing a 1975 Cadillac Sixty Special Brougham (they called them 'land yachts' for a good reason!) to a modern Shelby Mustang - in terms of performance or reliability, there's simply no comparison.

I no longer need to make that recommendation, because you'll be hard-pressed to find a laptop without an SSD these days.

Best laptop bargains 2019

Best laptop bargains

Here are 2019's best laptop bargains, hand-picked by The Froogal Stoodent!

You'll find everything from general-purpose to gaming laptops (but mostly general-purpose). The sweet spot is usually $400-500 for a good, reliable machine that will get the job done.

ASUS Vivobook F441 - $440
Amazon


  • 8 GB of the latest DDR4 RAM 
  • AMD A9-9425 processor 
  • 256 GB solid-state drive (SSD) version highly recommended

ASUS Vivobook K570ZD - $650
Amazon
  • 8 GB of DDR4 RAM 
  • Ryzen 5 2500U processor
  • 256 GB SSD
Are you a student who hopes to game on a tight budget? It's possible with this laptop.

Lenovo 330S-15ARR - $410
Amazon
  • 8 GB of DDR4 RAM
  • Ryzen 5 2500U processor
  • 128 GB SSD
High-performance on a tight budget. It's also possible to game on this one, though with the tight storage requirements, I wouldn't recommend it.

ASUS X555QA - $350
Amazon

  • 8 GB of RAM
  • AMD A12-9720P processor
  • 128 GB SSD ($350) OR 512 GB ($440)
I'd get the 512 GB one for $440 if I were shopping for myself.
