Sometimes what you want is a competent, nice, and not-too-expensive laptop with a decent-size screen for schoolwork, basic image and video editing, or simply surfing the Web. The Asus VivoBook E403SA-US21 checks all these boxes; at $399, it’s also one of the least expensive systems we’ve seen with a full HD display, so it’s a good choice if you need the extra working room in a budget desktop-replacement laptop. Our top pick, the Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series ( 3558) $249.00 at Dell has a few advantages over the VivoBook E403SA$379.00 at Amazon, including a lower price, a faster processor, and more memory, but either would be a good selection for an everyday-use PC.
