The Asus E410 is the best low-price laptop we have seen this year. It uses a basic Intel Celeron processor and has just 4 GB of RAM but it’s equipped with a fast and fair-sized 128 GB SSD drive, which helps keep things moving. The best thing about the E410 is that it’s light but well built, and its battery runs for almost 12 hours. That makes it ideal for learners lugging it between classes and students storming across campus and even for some creative home projects. We especially like the trackpad that doubles as a surprisingly effective number pad, ideal for those studying business or trying to balance their budget
