| Careful, Chromebook: These Windows PCs could eat your lunch |
The
Chromebook have been sold well, especially in the educational markets.
These netbooks basically provide Internet access through your Google
account. All you can do on the web can be done in a Chromebook.
Some
have a price as low as $179, which makes them very attractive to the
education market, although teachers can find them limited given their
confidence in the web. Although there is not much money that can be
spent on low-end laptops, there are those who need a more complete
device than their smartphone or tablet, but do not want to spend more
than a thousand dollars. Here are the Chromebooks and the low-cost
windows laptops.
While
we see some basic Windows laptops on the market with a price as low as
$299, the processor and features of these systems are at the bottom of
the performance barrel. But what makes Qualcomm-Microsoft's specs
interesting is that the Qualcomm 835 processor is one of the most
powerful mobile processors out there, offering low-end laptops more bang
for a dollar, so to speak. Laptops that use this new specification
could be a very promising alternative for economic buyers who still want
a little excitement on their laptop.
Conceptually,
a laptop that uses this specification could also become a solid
alternative to Chromebooks, although Microsoft has not yet declared how a
laptop will be placed with these specs.
Either
way, this new specification could become an interesting option for
laptops in 2017. Of course, the test will be in the pudding. The
announcement was just a spec, and we haven't yet seen real products
based on this to understand their performance capabilities and how
Windows 10 works on this Qualcomm processor. But if Microsoft and
Qualcomm launch this, they could revive the low-cost notebook market in
the new year and give consumers another good option.
