These days, you don’t have to spend an absolute fortune to get a proper laptop for work or school. In fact, this 14-inch Asus Vivobook is only $479.99 on Amazon right now, down from its original $799.99 with a crazy 40% discount that puts it square in budget-friendly territory. That’s the absolute lowest price we’ve seen for this model, by the way!
At this price, this laptop is an absolute beast that’ll handle your everyday workload—including Windows 11—without complaint. It’s packing an Intel Core i5-1334U processor alongside 24GB of RAM and a spacious 1TB SSD. That’s a better-than-decent configuration that outpaces pretty much any other laptop you could get in the sub-$500 range. It ain’t a speed demon, but it’s responsive enough—and while the 14-inch 1080p display is as standard as it gets, it’s no slouch either.
Other nice bits include 8 hours of active battery life, 720p webcam with privacy shutter, 180-degree hinge to lay flat, thin-and-light build that weighs in at 3.09 pounds and measures 0.7 inches thick, and adequate ports (HDMI, USB-C, USB-A 3.2, USB-A 2.0, 3.5mm audio).
One thing that’s weird, though, is the keypad on the touchpad. It’s nice to have a keypad on this tiny 14-incher, but having it on the touchpad is definitely unconventional. Feel free not to use it if you hate it!
Need a portable laptop with a good display, solid specs, and practical battery life at an affordable price? You can’t go wrong with this Asus Vivobook for just $479.99. That’s a crazy good deal!
