Laptops under $400

The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 is a favorite of Yahoo readers. Seriously – hundreds of people jumped on this deal and picked up a nearly $1,000 laptop for a whopping 60% off. I even recommended it to my mom! That’s because it packs up to 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, and tons of I/O for just about anything you can think of.

“I needed a laptop to take the bar exam because I couldn’t download the exam software onto my work laptop. I had bought a Microsoft Surface Laptop in the past and while it’s super slim and light and the screen quality is great, I’ve had a failure and malfunction twice. And it costs about $1,000. This laptop is a bit heavy and the screen resolution isn’t the best, but it seems like a reliable machine… Love the feel of the keyboard and trackpad. Great laptop,” said one user.

Laptops $400 to $800

This gaming laptop is packed with power. The 256GB SSD isn’t a lot of storage, but there are enough USB ports so you can easily use external storage. The 8GB of RAM can handle most modern games on medium settings, and the powerful processor means you don’t have to worry about stuttering in your game.

“That is amazing! I can play the games I want without any problems, including games with lots of mod files. It’s upgradable but works great so far, right out of the box “I’m used to leaving my laptop plugged in so it’s not a deal breaker for me. Was able to download several apps and games using the storage space already on the computer is. I will update what I can over time, but for now it’s perfect. Download times are great too,” said one happy player.

Laptops starting at $800

At this price point, the majority of the laptops you’ll come across are either geared towards gaming or are aimed at users who need high-end image or video processing features. The MSI Katana falls into that gaming category and what a laptop it is. It’s not her most powerful laptop, but it will outperform the majority of slots on the market.

“As the conclusion of a ROG ‘ultra gamer laptop’, the outer casing is such a breath of fresh air. The thing is completely wrapped in an elegant black. The only thing that balances the darkness is the piercing red of the shield and keyboard. This definitely shows the ‘less is better’ approach – I’m not ashamed to put this laptop in a public area. I’m really grateful for the design choice here,” said one five-star reviewer. “In terms of performance, I have no qualms about it…”
