Verdict
|
At its price, Acer’s Swift 1 is surprisingly strong and a must-have, a little short on storage but with a slim build and a 1080p IPS display.
|
The Acer Aspire E 15 (E5-575-33BM) is a fully featured laptop for a low price, with a large HD screen, solid performance, and best-in-class battery life.
|
Dell’s Latitude 3189 2-in-1 is a Windows 10 Pro convertible laptop with long battery life and a durable build, but its middling performance and lacklustre screen keep it from standing out.
|
The HP Stream 11-y010nr’s rock bottom price and cute design make it a good choice for a kid’s first notebook.
