Who said laptops had to be expensive? Okay, maybe most of today’s top brands. But you might not need all of the usual bells and whistles if you’re just working with Microsoft apps and Google Chrome most of the time. A better option might be this ASUS 14-inch laptop that’s only $184.99, arriving with a free year of Microsoft 365 Personal. It’s so cheap because it’s an open-box model.
It doesn’t have every bell, but it does have some whistles. The laptop runs on Windows 11 in S Mode (an app-based OS that provides more security, though you can easily switch out for free), its trackpad doubles as a number pad, it has 128GB of storage, and it has USB-A, USB-C, and HDMI ports.
The laptop’s Intel Pentium Silver processor powers you through everyday tasks (like a ridiculous number of Chrome tabs) while staying power-efficient. However, it’s going to buckle if you attempt to run intensive games or video-editing programs because it only has 4GB of RAM.
Open-box (customer returns verified to be in new condition) are limited in quantity. Order your ASUS 14-inch laptop now for $184.99 (reg. $199.99) before they sell out.
