I wouldnt consider 750-1k budget friendly. Acer line of laptops offer great value for around $500
xps 13 is not budget
Lol in my country that thing is 5k π€£π€£π€£
Loving chromebooks this year.
My Surface Laptop Go’s battery sucks so bad. Time to get a fanless chromebook for my casual web browsing
I love how ppl just be gifting laptops like it’s nothing π
Would it kill you to get a host who doesnβt have a lishp
Windows is the way to go. You get more out your money.
No headphone jack on a laptop is an AUTOMATIC NO BUY!!!
πππ
U guys clearly don’t know anything
Letβs see, I open a $600 laptop in a coffee shop & feel sad! Gimme a break who gives a Sh@#! Peer pressure at its worse!
Sponsored by lenevo chromebook.
Pro tip. Want your laptop to last? Stop blocking heat vents. Put something hard and flat on the bed, couch etc then put the laptop on _that._
Better still get a simple usb cooling pad.
The Acer Chromebook Spin 714 … Just why. Runs Chrome OS and you may as well get a surface pro
Cnet can’t make any video without made reference to Apple, this is sad…
MacBook M2 is budget friendly?
If youΒ΄re embarrassed about pulling your laptop out at a coffee shop 1) find a better coffee shop 2) seek mental health counseling for your vanity. Also, using a chromebook (android device) doesnΒ΄t work effectively for students using online textbooks from certain huge textbook companies. Also, students use their laptops 24/7 to run verry inefficient LMS and elearning software so donΒ΄t assume a wimpy chromebook is at all adequate–it is not. One needs a fairly large screen as the Β΄cram-wareΒ΄ web apps waste a lot of screen real estate due to the browser-web UIs
Are people getting laptops for the holidays?! The biggest gift I got last year was a $25 Lego set.
Edit: No, I’m not a kid. I’m 36. Ok, yeah maybe I am still a kid though…
This should have been titled, my favourite laptops to buy in 2022. I know it’s a subjective matter but there’s definitely some better laptops for the prices he mentioned.
Overall I’d give this video a 6.6 out of 10
i stopped buying budget laptops because i end up regretting them.. save your monies and get a better spec one that will perform better amd last longer
Crap video wasted my time
The notch looks so out of place on a laptop lol
Without scammers and fake accounts CNet would have zero engagement ππππ
People are getting Laptops for gifts? Damn.. Well I hope I get some cool socks though.
Why all compare! All laptop with macbook
Two expensive βΉοΈ
Dell XPS (9315) with Linux is the perfect combo. π
Didn’t even mention a ThinkPad throughout the entire video…
Cough cough (Apple). Love it!
After recieving it, it has a follow up question… "Can it game?" Lol
Not budget all expensive
They were somehow making the restaurant run for years until Gordon came and made it closed in 10 months.
Wtf is βbudgetβ about any if these except that Lenovo Chromebookβ¦
What happened to the β$300 get me through collegeβ laptops that had an i3 or equivalent (not lower – no Celerons or βPentiumβ).
They looked like crap and most everything about them was justβokβ – but they were fast enough to get plenty done and usually had 1 memory slot available when you needed to improve performance.
Everything now is soldered on and stuck at that levelβ¦
Anyway – sorry this old man is yelling at clouds againβ¦
I am still thinking coffee shop status symbol. Important for all the douchebags out there!
Gifting someone a $1k laptopβ¦. This happens?
Thanks for sharing
why the laptops look so small are we back in the 60s with netbook.
Clearly, CNET have no idea what "budget" means.
Macbook is a budget laptop π€π€
A Chromebook is NOT a laptop, it’s a Chromebook. I consider a laptop, like most of the world, to have a file browser and the ability to install programs. If I can’t run this program or utility, game, etc, it’s a Chromebook or tablet.
A Surface Pro is a much better option, but it’s a Windows tablet. A Surface Laptop Go 2 is a budget Windows tablet.
I would like to see a better breakdown of devices. For example, these are good for kids. These models are good for your parents or grandparents. This model is good if you want to do some photo or video editing. You get the idea.
Budget friendly? LOL good joke
Iβve got M1 MacBook Air π»
I search youtube in search of "best battery duration laptops" and results are too random…and no one seem to know which laptop is the best in battery category".
As a truck driver I only charge my surface go when I get acess to wall plug which can happens 1 day per week or even 2 weeks so Im limited to 2 hours and half (easy to run, low spec) gaming.
How much money
Hey CNET these are not budget friendly. I can buy a 12 Gb 3080 for less than these "budget friendly laptops"
laptop as a gift, extremely bad idea, what happens if the laptop doesnt fulfill the users requirement. There is so many variables on it.
Budget for me & most is $500 and less π€
This was a really good mixture of a lot of things so yes I prove this message but I would actually still recommend the M1 macbook is plenty powerful it’s cheaper and why would you spend $200 more for A1080P camera
Chromebooks are not real laptops and neither are tablets.
The latest laptops are turning speedier. And expecting better results with newer Mediatek modems that promise up to 7.9gbps speed.
