If you have an Amazon Prime subscription, you're currently in luck as Amazon Prime Big Deal Day is currently running, and it's brought some deals that we'd recommend you stop to consider. For the second day of the event, I have found US and UK deals for two similar Asus Vivobook 16 laptops, packed full of features, and both coming with a substantial discount.
In the US, you can get the Asus Vivobook 16 laptop for $399.99 (down from $549.99, a discount of $150), and it comes with an Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD storage. Meanwhile, in the UK, you can grab a similar Asus Vivobook 16 laptop that's got an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage, and that's now £399.99 (down from £649.99).

For these kind of prices, you're getting some very respectable specs both inside and out. Externally, you can look forward to a 16-inch display and the chassis allows you to lay the laptop flat at 180°. It has a large touchpad for easier navigation and a backlit keyboard, and it also comes with Windows 11 Home edition.
In fact, these prices are so good, they are competing with some of the best Chromebooks you can buy. Usually, I'd recommend buying a Chromebook if you're after a budget laptop, thanks to their low prices. However, if you can get a Windows 11 laptop like the Asus Vivobook 16 for around the same price, then for most people the Windows 11 device will be a better bet, as Windows is a much more versatile operating system than ChromeOS (which Chromebooks run), and allow you to use a much wider range of applications.

If you're looking for a laptop that's very reasonably priced, but that still enables you to partake in all kinds of entertainment, work, and play, this is a really good choice. It has a lot of ports so you can connect all sorts of peripherals, displays, and projectors. While it has a large, crisp display, it's actually pretty thin at just 0.78 in (1.98 cm) thin.
