We’ve been on the lookout for good but seriously cheap laptops for a while now. Acer’s $650 Swift 3 is an excellent choice for budget laptops in the under-$700 range, but we’ve been really itching to find one in the almost nonexistent sub-$400 category.

The Microsoft Surface Duo is Really Bad
The Microsoft Surface Duo has been in my hands for 72 hours and I can’t bring myself to use it much longer.
