Best cheap laptops for travelling

When going traveling, there's often 3 main things you are looking for in a laptop computer.

Size - shouldn't be over 13'3 inches, anything above that would make the laptop simply too big to carry around. Don't even think about a 17' inch laptop.

Weight - ideally it would be 1.2kg, but in order to have a laptop that wouldn't have as small as 10' inch screen, 1.8kg might be a good enough weight as well and that often fits in a 13' inch screen.

Battery - these days, considering the travel laptops that are offered, ideally it would last for 8 hours. But anything equal or above 4 hours is often already good enough.

Yeah, I know I said 3, but of course, your laptop should have enough power for whatever you need to do. These days, most laptops are good for most people, but I thought I'd mention it anyhow.

Depending on the exact specifications of the laptop, not all of the requirements need to apply, but preferably they would, of course.

Based on everything, the brands that in my mind and based on my personal experience work the best as cheap travel laptops are Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Fujitsu Siemens and Apple - yes, I know in our minds Apple doesn't really fit into the cheap laptop category, but there are ways to obtain Apple laptops for quite good prices.

Acer
Right now I personally own Acer Aspire One. It was really cheap when I bought it, something like $400, the battery lasted 4 hours, it weighs about 1.3kg and it has a 10.1 inch screen. For starters it was great, but by now (I have owned it for two years) the batter is not as good as it used to be and I'd say the screen is too small as well. But over the last year Acer has come out with pretty good laptops with 13' inch screens. You can get an Acer with a rather good price from pretty much any local store. But there some even better offers here -







These guys have Free shipping on all laptops!

Asus
Asus is another great company which produces good laptops with great quality.







Toshiba
Toshiba is possible one of the less known computer producer. While they have been in business for quite a while, they don't have the respect that many other computer producers do.

Fujitsu
Same info as for Toshiba in my opinion.

Apple
Highly rated producer Apple, for many maybe overrated producer, has been around for a while and keeps producing quality computers. Whether you like they OP system or not, is of course totally another story.
