HP Pavilion 15-ab110nr
The HP Pavilion 15-ab110nr is an interesting laptop which proposes a unique combination of hardware resources and features. We would argue this is a cross breed between an ultrabook and a mid range notebook, with design elements and build quality borrowed from the former and hardware specs from the latter.
HP 15-f305dx
The consumer oriented HP 15-f305dx is a great desktop replacement laptop, designed to fill the gap between low-end notebooks and mid-range devices. It really feels like a more expensive unit trapped in a rather affordable body. For the price its being sold at, the HP looks like a good deal for users who want to upgrade their aging home systems without spending too much.
HP Pavilion 17-g040nr
The HP Pavillion 17-g040nr is the definition of an atypical laptop. Looking at the technical specifications, we find that almost every hardware piece seems to be in between two generations, like a bridge linking old and new technologies. But I think it works great as a college or home notebook, simply because this mixture allows for a wide range of possible uses.
HP ENVY 15-v010nr
The HP ENVY 15-v010nr is a mid-range notebook with decent performance ratings that doesn’t truly shine in any area, but as a whole is a great device. Despite the numbers, the HP feels lighter than it actually is and on the surface of things gives a higher quality vibe thanks to its decent building materials.
Top 3 Most Affordable Convertible Laptops
As the start of school and college inches closer, now it’s a good time to think about practical and affordable laptop solutions to power your education endeavors.
What’s the difference between a laptop and a convertible laptop?
The convertible is equipped with a touchscreen display that you can easily rotate to 360 degrees due to a very mobile hinge. You can use it as a laptop, as a tabletop to share the screen with a co-user, as a tent (to present whatever is on the screen) or as a tablet. Don’t confuse a convertible laptop with a detachable. The latter has the added functionality of detaching the screen completely from the keyboard in order to use it as a tablet, but they’re usually more expensive.
The three convertible laptops we’ve chosen come from Toshiba, Dell and HP and cost just under $400, are all pretty lightweight and ideal for college or school students.
