Which is the best Windows 10 Laptop for $300 price?
The choice is definitely the Chuwi Lapbook SE, it has a metal design, thin bezels, powerful processor, and SSD storage. The only risk is you will buy it online and you will also send it back to Lazada once it is factory damaged or need a repair thru its warranty service and coverage, although local service centers may take time to fix your warranted laptops too.
The alternatives to the Lapbook SE is the Asus E203MAH for 11-inch size and the Lenovo IdeaPad 330 for the 14-inch. Both offer latest processors and 4GB RAM as well as the latest set of ports like USB Type-C 3.0.
