I Bought the Cheapest Laptops on Amazon #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin and today on the

cheapest stuff on Amazon I bought the

four cheapest laptops that are currently

available on Amazon that are brand new

with prime shipping of course first of

all we have the Dell Inspiron 11 which

is not only the cheapest laptop here at

$170 but we've actually done an entire

video on this earlier this year put

simply it actually gets a lot of basic

stuff right unlike a lot of budget

laptops this is powered by an AMD

processor and I'll get into that a

little bit more in a second but

generally speaking it is a little bit

cheap but for the most part you actually

get something that is surprisingly

usable next we have these Samsung

Chromebook 3 at 180 dollars now this is

similar in a lot of ways but the key

difference of course is that it is

running Chrome OS it has the same tiny

11.6 inch display what's different about

this is of course the idea that instead

of having to run Windows we have a much

more lightweight operating system which

makes a big difference to the general

performance then there's the Evo EVC

which is less than $200 is a little bit

of a weird choice and it does come with

a larger 12.5 inch display and there are

some cool features like a fingerprint

sensor but they're also some major major

drawbacks three gigs of ram is

definitely unusual but with a quad core

processor it seems pretty solid I mean

they're pretty obvious about it on the

box not only does it say on the sticker

but also several times here that is a

quad core chip except when you open up

task manager and see that it's actually

a dual core Celeron which yeah that's

great this isn't a total deal-breaker as

several of the other laptops here also

dual core but I think it's more than

just a little bit sketchy they advertise

it as a quad core processor and give you

50% of what you're paying you know what

does have a quad core processor the

assist vivo book which has a very

obvious amount of stickers and badges

saying that it does in fact have four

cores exactly as you would expect the

issue here is that this is a much older

AMD processor while it does have decent

performance as you guys will see soon

it's not all that impressive and even

worse you hear that that's a fan my

friends unlike the other laptops this is

not fanless and it's significantly

thicker because of that is the only

laptop here with a 14 inch screen that

is an advantage for some people and

there are a ton of ports so if you take

a look on the side we have not only USB

see but also a couple of USB AAA

Ethernet SD even HDMI flip the laptop

over and we have a very convenient

little door which gives us access to the

two and a half inch drive bay and that

is unique among these laptops all of

them with the exception of the

Chromebook have only 32 gigs of storage

which as you might imagine is difficult

to run windows on so for the most part

you're going to need to install

something like a micro SD for extra

space with this guy you can very easily

upgrade it with a hard drive or an SSD

when you click on a video talking about

the cheapest laptops on Amazon you

probably don't expect a lot of

performance and you would be right with

the Chromebook and EVOO you get a

dual-core Intel Celeron processor with

four gigs of RAM on the Samsung and

three on the Evo whereas with the dell

inspiron we actually have an AMD dual

core processor if we move over to the

asou it of course does have that awesome

quad core power as you will see it's not

all that it's cracked up to be run

everything from Geekbench and the Dell

does take the wind slightly over the

Celeron processors what's especially

disappointing is the performance of that

is soos because it's such an older

processor even though it's got the fan

even though it's got the thicker build

it is still significantly slower and

that's not just in benchmarks use the ax

soos and it does feel a lot slower for

normal use speaking of the real world I

do think the Chromebook does feel

fastest now fastest is a little bit of a

relative term it's certainly not as

quick as any kind of more expensive

laptop but because Chrome OS is so much

lighter weight the windows it feels

reasonably snappy I will give it to the

dell for being the fastest of the

Windows systems having the 4 gigs of ram

as well as a decent CPU and actually

kind of ok graphics does make a big

difference but again all four of these

systems they're a little on the slow

side then by little I mean a lot on the

slow side at this price all of these

laptops are absolutely made out of

plastic but there are fairly big

differences in build quality not all

plastic is the same it's built but I

always forget it what is it what's the

phrase not all plastic is is built the

same create equal create equal not all

created equal guys the evo is definitely

at the bottom of the pack here I mean

just look at how much I can flex the

chassis just hear that yeah I mean it'll

probably last you a little while but

durability doesn't really strike me as

the strong suit of

no-no-no

in comparison the Dell is an absolute

tank and I mean it's still not super

super sturdy but there's no real flex on

the bottom the actual keyboard itself is

pretty sturdy there's a little bit on

the screen but generally speaking this

does feel like you can take a little bit

more abuse when it comes to screens all

four of these laptops have the same

standard 1366 by 768 resolution now

there is a slight advantage to the isuzu

as far as having a bigger 14 inch screen

but let's be real these are all kind of

okay they're decent but none of them

look remotely as good as something that

costs even another $100 speakers on the

other hand are a little different

so the Dell is the only one with front

firing speakers but the only issue here

is that they are incredibly small they

sound okay but they just don't get all

that loud the Chromebook and vivo books

sound fine but what doesn't is our good

friend the Evo yeah so I mean they're

tinny they're quiet just not really good

experience which I guess you shouldn't

expect that much for $200 but all the

other laptops sound a lot better when it

comes to keyboards the Chromebook is my

clear favorite now that does it have a

nice clean layout and full-size keys but

it also does have a small but pretty

solid touchpad these students is right

up there thanks to its full size layout

whereas the Dell feels pretty decent to

type on but the main issue here is that

it is just a physically smaller keyboard

look the evil eye will be blunt with

this might be the worst laptop keyboard

I've used in quite a while not only does

it have a weirdly small layout but the

keys themselves feel like little maybe

it is just not a nice place to type I

will give the EVOO this it is unique in

this group and that it does have a

fingerprint sensor built into the

touchpad and really there's not a lot

bad to say about it it works just as

well as these sensors and much more

expensive laptops Wi-Fi is a bit of a

sore point for the Windows laptops

they're all limited to 2.4 gigahertz

Wireless which really does slow things

down quite a bit except when it comes to

the Chromebook which has dual band AC

Wi-Fi now sure these are slower systems

but even if you ignore the speed

difference which is fairly significant

you get a much more reliable connection

and that's something that's important

for any laptop so should you buy any of

the cheapest laptops on Amazon well

the Chromebook is probably the best bet

here not only is it a well-built package

but importantly pretty much anything

you'd want to do on a sub 200 or a

laptop you probably can do on Chrome OS

on the windows side I like the dell

inspiron not only is it the cheapest

laptop here but as far as a budget

system goes this checks almost all the

boxes for what I'm looking for so that

my friends is a roundup of all the

cheapest laptops on Amazon as always

links to all of these guys will be in

the description if you want to feel free

to you know check them out although

maybe avoid the Evo
