Hope this video helps the people looking for some inexpensive laptops. If you need to get something even cheaper (like $300 or less) buy a chromebook, not a windows laptop. Thanks for watching my stuffs!
@@hashimahmed2882 that is not ideal, that is ripping me off of my hard earned money for only 64 GB of RAM with a 2080. I expect at least 128 GB and somehow fitting in an RTX 3090.
Old Butter Knife Just buy a Chromebook is still a good price. If you looks forward to gaming, you just build a desktop which is more cheaper than gaming laptop
If you really consider to buy any of those laptops, please be reminded that it will start have some malfunctions and problems pop up within 1-2 years, and normally will not last for 3 years (those are cheap, really cheap. So don't expect the durability) , ESPECIALLY Acer.
But they are also easier and cheaper to fix.... I just switched from MacBook Pro to the Aspire 5 cuz the keyboard was not working and the replacement costs almost $400!
shit dude you made me look at my own lenovo laptop and almost made me cry when I realized it doesn't have the lighting icon and I'm stuck with this laptop for another year... My acer laptop was shitty in every aspect, but at least it had backlighting (and touch screen: if you spend a lot of time lying down while reading shit on the internet, once you've tried scrolling using a touch screen it's hard to go back)
shook cheap means, very affordable. There are tons of "cheap" laptop out there, and these laptops were midrange and not cheap. It's cheap on dave's point of view but definitely it does not fit in to everybody who categorized it as cheap. You call 700$ laptop cheap? Come on. 200$ laptop is cheap
@@belisariusthemagnificent504 sources? These are laptops not fucking cancer research. Cheap laptops in that price range use cheap parts, simple as that.
Yesica1993 don't buy a new one or don't buy laptop. Get something old. What you're like saying is I want 5 star food and service but is very expensive. ..if course it's expensive. , it's 5 star food or a new model laptop...
My top 2 cheap laptops: 1. Thinkpad X220 2. Thinkpad X230 Both can be found very cheap used (under 200 usd, eur etc) and easy 10 hours of battery if you get a new 9 cell.
No, absolutely not. As myrang3r said, Thinkpads are known for reliability. Their keyboards are even waterproof. It should expect to last for at least 5 years (I have a Thinkpad made from IBM which is 15 years old and still working). You will not regret to buy one.
Y'all complaining about these not being cheap. Come on. These are cheap compared to the entire market of laptops. If these really aren't cheap for you, you gotta make the bread to buy these.
I have an Acer Nitro 5 and it works perfectly for school purposes as well as gaming. The Acer aspire 5 can’t handle any games I play (Forza, Overwatch, PUBG) but the Acer Nitro 5 can. I recommend the GTX 1050 with the 1TB hard drive for a school laptop. There is also a 2 in 1 variant of this laptop called the Nitro 5 Spin that has the same capabilities as the Nitro 5.
Acer? Neh, their laptops are made of glass. Consider it as a glass cannon, powerful but fragile. Lenovo "non-Thinkpad" series (e.g. yoga, ideapad, etc) is a bit better, but still not quite durable. If I'm choosing it, I will either choose a XPS or a Thinkpad, you can expect to use either one for at least 5 years. In fact, if IBM was still making Thinkpad, it will be much better. I have a IBM Thinkpad which is at least 15 years old and still freaking working!!!!!!
Yep, and they got sued because of it. Technically, the word "malware" is not so accurate, the more accurate description is sending your PC's info to the Lenovo without asking or notifying you. Many company and software actually do that (check all the apps you have in your phone) except they ASK before doing that.
Thinkpad... Thats when Lenovo was part of the IBM branding. Agree though that the Thinkpads were very well put together! I think I've still got one knocking around somewhere with a pop up keyboard when you open the screen.
so get a think pad? i currecnly own a lenovo y50 i want something lighter and just as fast. i dont game anymore so im lacking use for it, i want something i can code with, thats nice small and fast.
Usually, I would complain that some Tech channels bloat their video runtime to over 10 minutes for that sweet, sweet ad revenue, but in your case, I actually *want* more. I would've loved to hear more in-depth infos on the acer laptop as I have great experience with the brand and am currently on the lookout to replace my old DELL inspiron 15r from 2010. ^^ Thanks for the video!
My Dell Inspiron 15 7000 2014 model's hinge broke down the day before yesterday. The frame around the skin fell on the keyboard. Is it common with Dell. I think Dell used cheap materials and only use good materials in the XPS lineup
D2D makes the finest tech videos. He understands the average consumer and delivers the best tech videos, especially the laptop/PC ones, available on UA-cam. Keep up the good work.
Protipp for students: Buy used. Look for shops specializing on reselling what companies stopped using. You can get a Thinkpad that fulfills all your needs for a couple hundred bucks.
I've been using a used Lenovo Thinkpad T400 that I dropped $150 on for College. $50 for the 9 cell battery. Debian 9 for an operating system with i3wm. Can compile LaTeX documents, code, play 720p60fps video, and browse the internet. Literally all I need to do. Best decision ever. I dropped it twice and cracked the bezel but it still works. 9 Cell battery lasts for 5 hours (because the Linux kernel so far doesn't seem to be good at power management). Hard drive can be taken out by undoing 1 screw so I can upgrade with ease. It's nowhere near as fast as a modern laptop but really for academics and anime it's more than enough. Used Thinkpads are the best option for financially challenged students. With $700 you can get a used Thinkpad for $150 bucks and put the rest of that money towards a halfway decent desktop for when you need more power.
He didn't say it was super cheap, but he does incite it was cheap, just not super cheap. Unfortunately Dave that laptop was neither. I'm not buying any of these to run chrome, word, and Adobe. Get a $300-400 and call it a day.
ThinkPads are the way to go! Check out an X220/X230--sub $300 and probably twice as durable as any of the laptops in this vid. You can comfortably hit 8+ hours with a fresh 9-cell.
below 1000USD for me. Even as a student, I feel this is justified. Don't skimp on a device that you'll be using for 4 years or more (depending on the course). Make sure it can take a beating as you'll be carrying it everywhere, rain or shine, hot or cold.
I got the Lenovo 320S thanks to this video, performs amazingly well, it's super fast and great for everyday use, specially for the price, my only complain would be the monitor because it's a TN panel and isn't 1080p but so far so good, even for a TN panel it's still pretty good. The usb-C port is a blessing too, it's my first computer with this port so far and I love it.
Personally, I prefer a desktop + a chromebook ( as a student ), i have really bad selfcontrol so if i had a pc that could play games i woulf fail all my classes xD
I have been recently using Acer's aspire 3, it's latest version, it comes for around 400 bucks. It has got AMD Radeon Vega graphics card and AMD Athlon chipset and I can assure that you can do anything with it(what students need to do) and also gaming and it will run them all very smoothly. It's really a steal!!!
I am seeing all of these videos about school/light gaming laptops that are a bit overpriced. I see all of these major reviewers looking at laptops from Lenovo, Acer, etc and they all cost somewhere between 600 to 700 bucks for a good "gaming" laptop. After researching a bit I found the Eluktronics W650KK1. The base model comes with a Desktop PentiumG4560 (Yes you read desktop correctly) and a GTX 1050TI. (you can upgrade the processor if you want or just buy the i7 but that cost a little much. It is still cheaper than most 1050ti laptops though with the I7). This laptop costs a little over $650. It can support 3 hard drives (NVME, SSD, HDD). So my question is, why has no one shed any light on this laptop??
boostgearXD Very few shops sell it and it isn't available in a lot of countrys. Therefore only few people know of its existence wich really is a shame since it has amazing price/performance for a laptop. It also is sold under different branding. In my country it is sold as the Clevo W650KK1. "Eluktronics" is just branding. Im also a little bit surprised that it isn't really sold under other (more popular) brands like other Clevo barebones.
Any thing above 500$~ Is not under the cheap student laptop category. Cheap as in 300$~ Lenovo G580 or ideapad 110 with 8GB/2GB/1TB & AMD A8 is what defines cheap laptop. For US students, they can pick up a free laptop after 24~ hours of volunteer work at Free Geek. Which is a super nice option to try out.
@@madturkey4985 usually students don't just have the time to work and go to uni, and thus don't really have an income. When you have no income, you can't pay 700 bucks for a laptop. Simple as that.
Is $600 really not cheap? No matter the laptop it's supposed to be a long term investment. Anything less won't last a long time and is just a waste of money.
600 dollars is too much. We should get thinkpads instead. 1)They last 3 decades at least 2)Word processors and Excel don’t require high end specs 3)If your thinkpad can’t run games, you can’t be distracted by it. 4)We got the moneh 5)Face it: thinkpad batteries are cheap and do last long if properly maintained 6) No one cares what laptop you use. If they care; smash the laptop on their head. It does no damage to the laptop(Believe me, I have tried) 7)Easily available. On Ebay, Amazon, neighbours garage sale, e waste centre, refurbished electronic store, etc.
Finally someones giving relatively cheap options.Honestly 600$ is not exactly cheap for a student but kind of affordable compared to the 1k and 1,2k laptops other youtubers gave out as "options"
LethalTarget hahaha lie? not everyone is as rich as you privileged people are. Believe it or not it's the truth. U really have no idea how tough things are for some people out here
I'm sorry, I love you Dave, but this video just shows me just how out of touch tech UA-camrs are about pricing. There is no way a 500-600 dollar laptop can be considered "inexpensive". It may be because I'm South African and our living standards are a lot lower than you Westerners, but I feel like most university students my age would consider these to be pricey laptops.
I am sorry to you but if you are looking for a laptop to watch movie, listening music and browsing internet then there are cheaper laptops than these. I am also from Nepal and 5000-600 dollar is not inexpensive here :) People look for more cheaper laptop like 200$ and 300$. But As I am a student ;) Lesser specs than these is not going to work around for me. So I believe these are really the cheapest laptop. and yes there are cheaper laptops but why would I bother with laptop while I have a phone that costs me about 50 bucks and I can do almost everything with that. I even make my PowerPoint presentation on my phone. Because if anyone who is going for less than 6th or 5th Gen processor and 8 GB RAM is just looking a laptop for browsing internet watching videos and listening music and I would recommend to those people not to waste their money on laptop. go get a better phone.
Thanks a lot for suggesting this - I was looking for a mid range college laptop that runs some games but does look like a horrible gaming machine and never found one... Until i saw this comment - I bought a vivobook s15 about a month ago (after i saw this comment) and its an amazing laptop!
bought a surface go for $600 canadian dollars with original keyboard and surface pen on kijiji, not too bad for note taking and capable of pretty much anything I need. I do have a HUGE gaming laptop which I never wanted to take to school everyday.
Hope this video helps the people looking for some inexpensive laptops. If you need to get something even cheaper (like $300 or less) buy a chromebook, not a windows laptop. Thanks for watching my stuffs!

Stefan Andreasson what are the things u can't do to a chromebook(ms office)
Tiffies 04 what?
Stefan Andreasson can you download microsoft office on a chromebook? 😅
u can use office online
Stefan Andreasson office online sucks.
I have been recently using Acer's aspire 3, it's latest version, it comes for around 400 bucks. It has got AMD Radeon Vega graphics card and AMD Athlon chipset and I can assure that you can do anything with it(what students need to do) and also gaming and it will run them all very smoothly. It's really a steal!!!
How is that cheap??? I thought a cheap laptop was like up to 200 to 300 dollars

keep making videos like this! this video helps me a lot
2:37 says an i5 but laptop sticker says i7
Not all humans are perfect dumbass
When the title says CHEAP and they’re EXPENSIVE AS HELL
$550 is EXPENSIVE AS HELL?
@@bonnabon8196 what the fuck else do you think? Yes, that is not fucking cheap. Like, at all.
Cheap is around 300 $
@@bella-chan1013 considering students are running around dropping 1k+ on macbooks, yeah, 500 is cheap.
You forgot to factor in that many of those students got those MacBooks from mommies money. No way in hell they bought in themselves.

Dave please update this version of the video, I'm thinking to buy a laptop but I don't know which to choose
I am seeing all of these videos about school/light gaming laptops that are a bit overpriced. I see all of these major reviewers looking at laptops from Lenovo, Acer, etc and they all cost somewhere between 600 to 700 bucks for a good "gaming" laptop. After researching a bit I found the Eluktronics W650KK1. The base model comes with a Desktop PentiumG4560 (Yes you read desktop correctly) and a GTX 1050TI. (you can upgrade the processor if you want or just buy the i7 but that cost a little much. It is still cheaper than most 1050ti laptops though with the I7). This laptop costs a little over $650. It can support 3 hard drives (NVME, SSD, HDD). So my question is, why has no one shed any light on this laptop??
boostgearXD
Very few shops sell it and it isn't available in a lot of countrys. Therefore only few people know of its existence wich really is a shame since it has amazing price/performance for a laptop.
It also is sold under different branding. In my country it is sold as the Clevo W650KK1. "Eluktronics" is just branding.
Im also a little bit surprised that it isn't really sold under other (more popular) brands like other Clevo barebones.
Hey Dave!It would be great if you uploaded the 2020 edition of this video.
Any thing above 500$~ Is not under the cheap student laptop category.
Cheap as in 300$~
Lenovo G580 or ideapad 110 with 8GB/2GB/1TB & AMD A8 is what defines cheap laptop.
For US students, they can pick up a free laptop after 24~ hours of volunteer work at Free Geek. Which is a super nice option to try out.
Instructions unclear bought a Macbook Pro for 5000$
I love how you think that a student can afford to spend $600 on a laptop
Maybe you should start to think about "how to make money" instead of "how to save money"
@@madturkey4985 Your comment makes zero sense. We're talking about students, not lazy unemployed 30 year olds
Fede Rico Being a student is no excuse for not making money. If you want something make it happen. I am student too btw.
@@madturkey4985 usually students don't just have the time to work and go to uni, and thus don't really have an income. When you have no income, you can't pay 700 bucks for a laptop. Simple as that.
@@goJesusandStarcraft I highly doubt that a 600 laptop will last you 4/5 years. Battery degradation will kill it faster than you think.
I subscribed. - Sensible and practical information in your reviews.
Is $600 really not cheap? No matter the laptop it's supposed to be a long term investment. Anything less won't last a long time and is just a waste of money.
600 dollars is too much.
We should get thinkpads instead.
1)They last 3 decades at least
2)Word processors and Excel don’t require high end specs
3)If your thinkpad can’t run games, you can’t be distracted by it.
4)We got the moneh
5)Face it: thinkpad batteries are cheap and do last long if properly maintained
6) No one cares what laptop you use. If they care; smash the laptop on their head. It does no damage to the laptop(Believe me, I have tried)
7)Easily available. On Ebay, Amazon, neighbours garage sale, e waste centre, refurbished electronic store, etc.
Interesting..
i see you at first time and its pleasure to listen you. thanks for good overview!
Which one is best at editing videos?
I need a laptop to study and play the sims. Those are my only needs! Haha
Then build a gaming pc for 150
Look for a laptop with Ryzen 4th gen, you'll find for around 600$ and they are good

Same
Now the 510s is only 389.9 dollars!!!!!!!! WoW 8RAM is not bad for that cheap!!
In my country 500$ is an anerage monthly salary. Can you put in 2019 edition really budget laptops?
Which country?
@@niroz9230 russia
I found this thinkpad on ebay 284$ CAN so maybe less in your currency =)
funny how my macbook cant even play roblox games without overheating lmfaooo
thank you so much dave!!! im boutta get one right now
Is there an updated version(2018) of this video for students
DAVE MAKE US A BEST STUDENT LAPTOP FOR 2018
Finally someones giving relatively cheap options.Honestly 600$ is not exactly cheap for a student but kind of affordable compared to the 1k and 1,2k laptops other youtubers gave out as "options"
Students don’t want cheap laptops, they want a Macbook
😂
Looking at the time of the video
Still waiting..
Waiting...
Waiting ....
But not got 'cheap' laptop
(Still waiting)
Seriously awaiting your 2020 version of this video
In 2021
I see some people saying 600 is cheap in America. Lies. I'm in the US and no one in my class in college has a laptop tht cost more than $300.
Milton Ndang that's a lie
LethalTarget hahaha lie? not everyone is as rich as you privileged people are. Believe it or not it's the truth. U really have no idea how tough things are for some people out here
Lol 7/10 people at my uni use a macbook to fit in. Kinda awkward when you have a 300$ asus one
Valerie well most people don't have the kinda money you have or go to the fancy school you go to
Milton Ndang I meant I’m the one with a 300$ asus one 🙄
what about ux430?
Thanks bro this helped me in my online classes
Are these laptops still good for 2019?
no
I'm sorry, I love you Dave, but this video just shows me just how out of touch tech UA-camrs are about pricing. There is no way a 500-600 dollar laptop can be considered "inexpensive". It may be because I'm South African and our living standards are a lot lower than you Westerners, but I feel like most university students my age would consider these to be pricey laptops.
I am sorry to you but if you are looking for a laptop to watch movie, listening music and browsing internet then there are cheaper laptops than these. I am also from Nepal and 5000-600 dollar is not inexpensive here :) People look for more cheaper laptop like 200$ and 300$. But As I am a student ;) Lesser specs than these is not going to work around for me. So I believe these are really the cheapest laptop. and yes there are cheaper laptops but why would I bother with laptop while I have a phone that costs me about 50 bucks and I can do almost everything with that. I even make my PowerPoint presentation on my phone. Because if anyone who is going for less than 6th or 5th Gen processor and 8 GB RAM is just looking a laptop for browsing internet watching videos and listening music and I would recommend to those people not to waste their money on laptop. go get a better phone.
@@MelodySenseNepal you have a point. I just wish decent laptops good start at a lower price
Are you actually kidding me? $600 is the cheapest you can go if you want a laptop that is actually useable by a student.
and i wish decent cars would start at a lower price, like 100$ but guess what, thats not how money works.
His voice is so relaxing... And thanks for the information as well.
Vivobook s15
Thanks a lot for suggesting this - I was looking for a mid range college laptop that runs some games but does look like a horrible gaming machine and never found one... Until i saw this comment - I bought a vivobook s15 about a month ago (after i saw this comment) and its an amazing laptop!
Can you taste 1mil subs yet?

OMG YOUR THE GOAT YOU SHOW US GAMING STUDENT LAPTOPS! NEW SUB
Does anyone know the Intro music he uses?
Got a 130 dollar 11 inch hp
works fine
bought a surface go for $600 canadian dollars with original keyboard and surface pen on kijiji, not too bad for note taking and capable of pretty much anything I need. I do have a HUGE gaming laptop which I never wanted to take to school everyday.
Got 11 hours battery life on my chromebook 😎😎😎😎
What kind?
Unfortunately, these prices aren’t cheap in Turkey.😒😒
Even here in Dubai
I bought the 13 inch inspiron like a month before this video came out and its still running good!
6 min video displaying three laptops...wow...
