Hope this video helps the people looking for some inexpensive laptops. If you need to get something even cheaper (like $300 or less) buy a chromebook, not a windows laptop. Thanks for watching my stuffs!
@@hashimahmed2882 that is not ideal, that is ripping me off of my hard earned money for only 64 GB of RAM with a 2080. I expect at least 128 GB and somehow fitting in an RTX 3090.
shook cheap means, very affordable. There are tons of "cheap" laptop out there, and these laptops were midrange and not cheap. It's cheap on dave's point of view but definitely it does not fit in to everybody who categorized it as cheap. You call 700$ 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.
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)
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
D2D makes the finest tech videos. He understands the average consumer and delivers the best tech videos, especially the laptop/PC ones, available on RUclips. 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.
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 $300-400 and call it a day.
Usually, I would complain that some Tech channels bloat their video runtime to over 10 minutes for that sweet, sweet ad revenue, but in your case, I actually *want* more. I would've loved to hear more in-depth infos on the acer laptop as I have great experience with the brand and am currently on the lookout to replace my old DELL inspiron 15r from 2010. ^^ Thanks for the video!
below 1000USD for me. Even as a student, I feel this is justified. Don't skimp on a device that you'll be using for 4 years or more (depending on the course). Make sure it can take a beating as you'll be carrying it everywhere, rain or shine, hot or cold.
Any thing above 500$~ 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.
ThinkPads are the way to go! Check out an X220/X230--sub $300 and probably twice as durable as any of the laptops in this vid. You can comfortably hit 8+ hours with a fresh 9-cell.
My Dell Inspiron 15 7000 2014 model's hinge broke down the day before yesterday. The frame around the skin fell on the keyboard. Is it common with Dell. I think Dell used cheap materials and only use good materials in the XPS lineup
Finally someones giving relatively cheap options.Honestly 600$ 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"
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!!!
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.
Is $600 really not cheap? No matter the laptop it's supposed to be a long term investment. Anything less won't last a long time and is just a waste of money.
I got the Lenovo 320S thanks to this video, performs amazingly well, it's super fast and great for everyday use, specially for the price, my only complain would be the monitor because it's a TN panel and isn't 1080p but so far so good, even for a TN panel it's still pretty good. The usb-C port is a blessing too, it's my first computer with this port so far and I love it.
I'm sorry, I love you Dave, but this video just shows me just how out of touch tech RUclipsrs are about pricing. There is no way a 500-600 dollar laptop can be considered "inexpensive". It may be because I'm South African and our living standards are a lot lower than you Westerners, but I feel like most university students my age would consider these to be pricey laptops.
I am sorry to you but if you are looking for a laptop to watch movie, listening music and browsing internet then there are cheaper laptops than these. I am also from Nepal and 5000-600 dollar is not inexpensive here :) People look for more cheaper laptop like 200$ 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.
For those who are watching that don't understand the difference between a cheap and expensive laptop, $500 is a great price for the list he provided for you. Specifications of laptops are becoming more advanced meaning you can get really good laptops for cheaper nowadays. Cheap in the sense of laptop tech is under $600 with specs such as: - Intel i5 or 7th/8th Gen core processors - 8GB RAM - SSD (128GB/256GB) - A good graphics card (if you're lucky) Would love a laptop that is portable, cheap and has great performance.
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.
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
Lenovo 320. Really bad choice to use for programming: - Heavy - Slow (I had to buy an SSD hard drive) - Too big (it does't fit in most backpacks) - Trackpad sucks big time (get your own mouse) - I had to buy more RAM to make it to 20 GB. The first RAM is soldered into the motherboard. I recommend an Acer Nitro 5, although I don't own it, but the specs and the price look really good.
@@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.
I can vouch for the fact that $200-$300 laptops won't last for students. I need to get a new one because I was cheap and got a $300 one. A year later of student use and daily working, the charging port is loose, one usb port doesn't work anymore, and I've had a lot of problems with it. If you don't have a lot of money, get a chromebook to hold you over until you can get a windows.
He said the Lenovo has no backlighting but in fact, it does, You press function and the space bar. It literally has a light symbol on the left side of the spacebar and my friend has the same laptop and it has backlighting.
I'm a Computer Software Engineering student and have had a 400$ laptop for more than 3 years, 1080p with touchscreen. I have developed games and I play games on it. My laptop's keyboard also has a NUMPAD! and is backlit. Got surprised by those prices for those specs, Lenovo's laptops are getting expensive like others.
i've always considered 600 and under to be the budget stuff with 1k being mid range and 2k being high end with the best IN GENERAL build quality and performance, but the again this was a 2017 upload, we have had strides in the lower end that now some are actually recommendable
Not sure what you're talking about by "5 hours" of battery life for the Acer Aspire 5. Gaming on it lasts only 2-3 hours but I've had video playback at 1080p running for 9+ hours.
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!
The Lenovo one looks like it does have a back light. The icon on the spacebar indicates that if u press the Function key with the spacebar, the light will turn on.

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.
But if u r poor 😢
Faizan Ullah why dude
Muhammad bima because life isn’t made of marshmallows and rainbows
ThinkPads are the way to go! Check out an X220/X230--sub $300 and probably twice as durable as any of the laptops in this vid. You can comfortably hit 8+ hours with a fresh 9-cell.
Faizan Ullah then an HP Stream 14 might be for you, its like 220$ or so
Play with rocks and leaves
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
Abhinav Ajith yah, been nursing my inspiron 5000 2-1 for a while now....
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"
I really wanted this !!! Thanks Dave
Going to senior year for highschool and have a Dell XPS 15 9560! Bought it with my own money at end of Junior year!!!
Alphonsus Ho same but my parents is buying it for me
How did you earn that money and for how long did it take for you to earn that much? That's hella expensive for me lol
How is that cheap??? I thought a cheap laptop was like up to 200 to 300 dollars
xX Cavs_Fan_2024Xx Xx tru tru lol
I still can't afford any..
WE NEED AN UPDATE ON THAT LIST ASAP
Dave please update this version of the video, I'm thinking to buy a laptop but I don't know which to choose
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
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.
THE LENOVO IS BACKLIT I use one w/ the same keyboard either alt + space or fn + space turns it on
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!!!
Great video! Looking forward to your budget and premium best gaming and ultrabook series!
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..
Now the 510s is only 389.9 dollars!!!!!!!! WoW 8RAM is not bad for that cheap!!
We need a 2019 update, please ❤️
Is $600 really not cheap? No matter the laptop it's supposed to be a long term investment. Anything less won't last a long time and is just a waste of money.
I got the Lenovo 320S thanks to this video, performs amazingly well, it's super fast and great for everyday use, specially for the price, my only complain would be the monitor because it's a TN panel and isn't 1080p but so far so good, even for a TN panel it's still pretty good. The usb-C port is a blessing too, it's my first computer with this port so far and I love it.
I'm sorry, I love you Dave, but this video just shows me just how out of touch tech RUclipsrs are about pricing. There is no way a 500-600 dollar laptop can be considered "inexpensive". It may be because I'm South African and our living standards are a lot lower than you Westerners, but I feel like most university students my age would consider these to be pricey laptops.
I am sorry to you but if you are looking for a laptop to watch movie, listening music and browsing internet then there are cheaper laptops than these. I am also from Nepal and 5000-600 dollar is not inexpensive here :) People look for more cheaper laptop like 200$ 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.
2:37 says an i5 but laptop sticker says i7
Not all humans are perfect dumbass
You are the best youtuber who can guide people buy or not laptops. Thank you
1:35 T H I C C
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.

For those who are watching that don't understand the difference between a cheap and expensive laptop, $500 is a great price for the list he provided for you. Specifications of laptops are becoming more advanced meaning you can get really good laptops for cheaper nowadays. Cheap in the sense of laptop tech is under $600 with specs such as:
- Intel i5 or 7th/8th Gen core processors
- 8GB RAM
- SSD (128GB/256GB)
- A good graphics card (if you're lucky)
Would love a laptop that is portable, cheap and has great performance.
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.
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 🙄
Lenovo 320. Really bad choice to use for programming:
- Heavy
- Slow (I had to buy an SSD hard drive)
- Too big (it does't fit in most backpacks)
- Trackpad sucks big time (get your own mouse)
- I had to buy more RAM to make it to 20 GB. The first RAM is soldered into the motherboard.
I recommend an Acer Nitro 5, although I don't own it, but the specs and the price look really good.
I love how you think that a student can afford to spend $600 on a laptop
Maybe you should start to think about "how to make money" instead of "how to save money"
@@madturkey4985 Your comment makes zero sense. We're talking about students, not lazy unemployed 30 year olds
Fede Rico Being a student is no excuse for not making money. If you want something make it happen. I am student too btw.
@@madturkey4985 usually students don't just have the time to work and go to uni, and thus don't really have an income. When you have no income, you can't pay 700 bucks for a laptop. Simple as that.
@@goJesusandStarcraft I highly doubt that a 600 laptop will last you 4/5 years. Battery degradation will kill it faster than you think.
Instructions unclear bought a Macbook Pro for 5000$
Why is this in my recommend section right before online school?!?
Hey Dave!It would be great if you uploaded the 2020 edition of this video.
LG V30 review?
Ron Asllani can't review it yet it's pre release models and software
Randomly-doing Random-things sad times as that phone is boss
Art OverRide yup but it's better to wait till it's in its best form
Randomly-doing Random-things yes i know, but other youtubers did like a preview (mkbhd, austin, android authority, etc)
I want to a new laptap 22000rupees approximate please gaid me
I can vouch for the fact that $200-$300 laptops won't last for students. I need to get a new one because I was cheap and got a $300 one. A year later of student use and daily working, the charging port is loose, one usb port doesn't work anymore, and I've had a lot of problems with it. If you don't have a lot of money, get a chromebook to hold you over until you can get a windows.
Which one is best at editing videos?
funny how my macbook cant even play roblox games without overheating lmfaooo
He said the Lenovo has no backlighting but in fact, it does, You press function and the space bar. It literally has a light symbol on the left side of the spacebar and my friend has the same laptop and it has backlighting.
6 min video displaying three laptops...wow...
Did you not read the title?
Looking at the time of the video
Still waiting..
Waiting...

I was lucky and got gifted a hand-me -down of the Dell laptop in this video. It is amazing I love it.

Dave: Calls lenovo laptop “This Thing”
Me: I see your a man of culture as well
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

Got 11 hours battery life on my chromebook 😎😎😎😎
What kind?
Is there an updated version(2018) of this video for students
I'm a Computer Software Engineering student and have had a 400$ laptop for more than 3 years, 1080p with touchscreen. I have developed games and I play games on it.
My laptop's keyboard also has a NUMPAD! and is backlit.
Got surprised by those prices for those specs, Lenovo's laptops are getting expensive like others.
Can you taste 1mil subs yet?
nope
$600 is cheap for a college student? WHERE????
it's not?? anything under $1000 is cheap..
i've always considered 600 and under to be the budget stuff with 1k being mid range and 2k being high end with the best IN GENERAL build quality and performance, but the again this was a 2017 upload, we have had strides in the lower end that now some are actually recommendable
He is the most calm person i have ever seen.
Unfortunately, these prices aren’t cheap in Turkey.😒😒
Even here in Dubai
DAVE MAKE US A BEST STUDENT LAPTOP FOR 2018
Not sure what you're talking about by "5 hours" of battery life for the Acer Aspire 5. Gaming on it lasts only 2-3 hours but I've had video playback at 1080p running for 9+ hours.
Got a 130 dollar 11 inch hp
works fine
In my country 500$ 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 =)
I love your channel ! Such simple and clean reviews !!
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!
I think you mean Best gaming laptops for students 👀
Lol ye
These devices are overpriced in India because of high governement taxation 😔
Students don’t want cheap laptops, they want a Macbook
😂
Does anyone know the Intro music he uses?
The Lenovo one looks like it does have a back light. The icon on the spacebar indicates that if u press the Function key with the spacebar, the light will turn on.
what about ux430?
