Newegg.com offers ASUS X501A-WH01 15.6″ Notebook w/ 1.7Ghz Celeron B820 2GB DDR3 320GB HDD Windows 8 for $299.99 + Free Shipping, that's $50 off, so we can call it a deal. This Windows 8 laptop seems Okay for home basic use. It features an Intel Celeron B820 1.7GHz processor, Intel HD Graphics, 320GB 5400rpm hard drive, 2GB memory, and 6-cell lithium ion battery.
The ASUS X501A-WH01 laptop also has 0.3M Pixel Webcam, HDMI port, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and Instant On. It has enough power to handle your tasks, but you can't expect too much from it due its low price. I guess playing large games won't be a wonderful experience with this laptop. So what you get is what you pay for.
Well, what's your opinion about this?
