Budget Gaming Laptop With Best Screen

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 I am on a limited budget, but I didn't want mediocre specs that would be outdated in 6 months.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 $

I needed something to elevate my laptop. I was getting neck strain looking down at my screen. This laptop stand was just what I needed. I like the design and the price was within my budget.

Best laptop I ever have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor is great for multitasking. I can easily fit 4 windows on the screen when I am jumping back and forth between programs. The quality of the monitor is great and no dead or stuck pixels. It has very slight light glow on the edges of a pure black screen in the dark but really not bad. The screen is very bright and the colors are great, very accurate without any adjusting. The 160hz refresh rate is great for gaming. I like the slight curve of the screen. The built-in speakers aren’t super great sounding but it’s a nice thing to have when you don’t need a lot of volume. My favorite thing about this monitor is the USB-C connection with built in hub. I can go between my work laptop and my personal PC laptop by just plugging in one cable, it charges the laptop and the mouse and keyboard work, it’s great. I think this monitor is great for productivity and gaming.

I use this with a Windows VM on my laptop (Fedora), where I passed the dedicated GPU through to the Windows guest for gaming, and the screen streams back to the host with an application called Looking Glass. The dongle is exactly what I needed to make the whole thing work.

To start this gaming laptop meets every expectation you can for a top tier gaming laptop. The screen is crystal clear and the graphics are amazing. The keyboard with the aura sync is awesome the way it syncs with the screen. And fr it being a 18 inch laptop it is surprisingly light weight. All in all a must have for 2024
