But it s sluggish, with just half the memory and one-quarter the storage of a good inexpensive laptop. Most users will be happier with the quicker response of a Chromebook or, if they can dig deeper into their pockets, a Windows system in the $500-to-$700 range.

The VivoBook 11 that PCMag tested, at $309 at the time we purchased it, is model L203NA, with a dual-core Intel Celeron N3350 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of eMMC flash storage instead of a true solid-state drive. Different resellers offer different configurations that look to be better bargains: Walmart and Amazon sell the L203MA, which has a Celeron N4000, f
