Why we like it
Customer reviewers(Opens in a new tab) have mostly excellent things to say about this 11.6-inch laptop's battery life, lightweight design, and overall value. It's worth noting that it comes equipped with Windows 11 Home in S Mode, which is a variant of the operating system designed for security and speed that'll only let you install apps from the Microsoft Store. This makes it meh for power users but great for kids and students. It retails for $249 on the ASUS website, but you can order it off Amazon for $199.99, or 20% off. That's its lowest price(Opens in a new tab) there to date.
