Cheap portable computer
A budget laptop is a portable computer designed to be affordable rather than powerful.
These machines handle basic tasks—web browsing, word processing, streaming—but struggle with demanding applications like video editing or modern games.
The category typically means under $500, though the threshold shifts with the market: I just need a budget laptop for school.
