We test and review a lot of laptops at Windows Central, including high-profile Ultrabooks and bargain budget laptops like the CHUWI HeroBook 14.1 and Acer Aspire 1. If you’re wondering which sub-$300 device makes the most sense for you, we can help.

Unbeatable price

CHUWI HeroBook 14.1

Pros

  • Quad-core CPU
  • All-day battery life
  • Cheaper than Aspire 1
  • Upgradeable M.2 SSD
  • IPS panel display

Cons

  • Port selection lacking
