ASUS VivoBook X201e, Sub US$ 300 Lightweight Notebook

When looking for affordable, durable, and full packed of features, ASUS is the brand to choose. ASUS VivoBook X201e is one of the best 11.6-inch notebook there is out there. Its 1.3 kg (2.9 pounds) weight and 0.8-inch of thickness won't give you neck pain when you carry it in your backpack.

Don't be fooled by the presence of Intel Celeron 847 powering the VivoBook. The dual-core CPU has more than enough power to run most office and internet application nowadays. Even its Intel HD graphics is good to run video playback up to 1080p.

ASUS VivoBook X201e is currently for sale at around US$ 295. We were only able to pick up a netbook with that amount of money back in the days.
