Best Budget Gaming Laptop 2024

I am learning to enjoy my ASUS 15.6 Vivobook. It is a replacement for my nearly 14 year old laptop that has seen better days. I am on a limited budget, but I didn't want mediocre specs that would be outdated in 6 months. I do mainly internet browsing, some productivity work (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.), some low intensity gaming, and on occasion some video editing for my socials. Bottom line - You should probably get one while qtys and pricing are good. Pros - It has the specs I wanted (i9 CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) at a great price. More than enough computing power for gaming, casual internet browsing, and the occasional homework/essay. It included FREE 2-Day Shipping - I am on the West Coast. Screen colors are vibrant, keyboard is keyboard-y with backlit keys. The laptop itself is not the lightest out there, but is hardly the boat anchor ROG ASUS I still own that is on its last legs. It's offered thru a reputable dealer. Cons (ish) - Only 1920x1080 resolution and no touchscreen. I haven't really encountered any other negatives so far. It's been a while since I purchased MY own laptop. To be transparent, I have helped recommend and even purchased several laptops over the years for my family and friends. My previous-current laptop is a still-running ASUS G51J (i7 CPU 1st Gen, 6GB RAM, 500GB 2.5 HDD) - battery doesn't charge, but still works plugged in. I purchased it from B&H also circa 2010. Being a frugal tinkerer myself, but wanting the best value for my budget, I researched and compared several buying sources including big box stores, national (U.S.) retail chains and even Amazon, but I still chose B&H. Even though I am on the West Coast, I still found value in the products they offer as well as the service and buying experience. Did I mention FREE 2-Day shipping from the East Coast (NY). Hope this review helps.

Bought this as an upgrade over a 4-year-old budget gaming laptop, and wow! This thing beats my 13700k/3080 desktop on graphics benchmarks. It's a slick, beautiful machine that runs great. Lots of customization available with the lighting and different fan settings. Just be sure to hit the gym if you're carrying this around because the power brick is no joke. Love this laptop!

If you are on a tight budget then look no further! Best value for your $

Best budget Anamorphic lens,

Outstanding price point for someone considering entering into the 4K OLED gaming in 2024.

Best laptop I ever have.

When I bought my NUC from B&H in 2018 it seemed that 16Gb RAM was appropriate given my budget. In 2024 I saw that more RAM would be good, and I was pleased that B&H had an affordable 32GB RAM upgrade. Works great!

First off. These have to be one of the best budget anamorphics you can get your hands on as of early 2024. My only small grip is the inconsistent squeeze factor on the 50mm. If you know that it's easy to compensate in post but I would feel a little weary handing off footage from the 50mm lens. As for the 35mm, I really love how large the FOV is. On the flip side you have to get a subject very close to really feel the anamorphic stuff but outside of that is a very useful focal length As an owner op these are WELL worth your money
