I’ve seen a lot of laptop deals during this mini-Prime Day event – but the most powerful laptop I’ve found for under $500 is exceptionally cheap (and you won’t find it on Amazon either). The Asus Vivobook is down to $350 (was $500) at Walmart.

This is one fast laptop for the price, and comes loaded with the ultra-efficient Intel Core 5 120U processor with 10 cores and 12 threads for greater performance.
Alright, there’s no discrete GPU so it’s not going to handle high-end video editing or gaming. But for general multi-tasking, streaming, running office apps, that sort of thing, it absolutely flies through everything you’ll throw at it.
Basically, if you’re a business professional or student who needs a dedicated and reliable machine that doesn’t cost the earth and will breeze through a range of tasks, this is well-specced for the job.
