Top Laptops for less than $500

Dell Inspiron 15 – Has a 15.6-Inch screen, 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive and runs on Windows 8. This laptop is ideal for people who work from home and/or college students in need of a laptop for their studies. Unlike some laptops its fairly lightweight so you aren’t going to hurt your back carrying it in your bag. Although I find its not ideal for heavy use as it can become a little slow.

ASUS VivoBook – 11.6- Inch LED touch screen, 4GB of RAM and a 500GB Hard Drive. Comes installed with Windows 8. The added bonus? HD Graphics. Laptop is thin and only weighs 2.9lbs, so its perfect for someone who needs to work on the move. The only downside is the battery life, its only 2-cell. Which means if you are working on the move a lot then it would be wise to bring a charger with you. The touch screen I personally find useful, its nice to have that extra bit of control.

HP Pavilion G6-2235us – Screen size 15.6, 4GB of SD RAM that can be ungraded to 8GB, 750GB Hard Drive, SuperMulti DVD Burner, Comes installed with Windows 8. With the SuperMulti DVD Burner this laptop would benefit students who are studying media that need to work from home. Windows 8 however can be a bit of a letdown on a machine like this.

New Acer C7 C710-2847 Chromebook – Screen size 11.6 inches, 2GB of RAM, 320GB Hard Drive, Google Chrome OS. This laptop is ideal for some who likes using Google chrome as it gives you access to all its features. The laptop itself only ways 3 pounds so its ideal for someone on the move as well as at home. However it is letdown by the battery life which only lasts two hours. So unless your only planning to use the laptop for a short while bring the charger with you.

Toshiba Satellite C855-S5194 – 15.6 ich screen, 6GB DDR3 RAM, 640GB Hard Drive, Windows 8 Operating System and HD webcam. This is ideal for someone looking to buy their first laptop but don’t want to break the bank. Those who like talking to friends and family will love the HD webcam. This laptop isn’t designed to handle too many things at once and weighs 5.4 pounds, so you probably won’t want to travel with it.
