ASUS VivoBook L203MA Ultra-Thin Laptop, 11.6” HD, Intel Celeron N4000 Processor (up to 2.6 GHz), 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, USB-C, Windows 10 in S Mode, One Year of Microsoft Office 365, L203MA-DS04

This is, what I consider to be, an ideal Travel Laptop. It is certainly light weight and has everything you need for online activities. Yes, it has only 64gb of storage, but that is enough to handle the Windows 10 pro operating system (easily installed from your free Microsoft Account) as well as office applications. If you want more storage, you can use a micro SD card and/or a flash USB drive. The ports are adequate (HDMI, USB, MICRO-C, etc.). The display is easy enough to read (which is what I want most), and I have found no issues with WI-FI or Bluetooth connections to any device. If you want lots of built-in storage and power to do multi-tasking and play intense games, then this laptop is not for you. But if you just want to connect to online services, surf the web, run basic office applications, and travel light, then you cannot beat the features for the price!

I actually ended up returning this particular computer because it had become out of stock after I paid for it. I was sent a similar machine with a larger screen, but with only 32GB internal storage. I already had this same computer with 32GB for a significantly lower price, so I returned the substitute. Apparently it is available again now. These computers (really netbooks) are very limited by the storage space of the internal chip, so getting a good-sized SD card for photos, music, and such will help. That said, I love this computer for its looks, size, weight, and portability, plus I have really liked my ASUS computers. It comes with Windows 10 S installed, and sure enough, the first app from a Microsoft untrusted source (my ISPs free anti-virus suite) wouldnt install. So, I did the one-time, one-way free fix to revert to Windows 10 Home, and then it worked as I wanted. I also dont really like the look and feel of Windows 10, so I went to CNET and got a (free) program titled Classic Shell. I use it on all my Windows 10 machines. Once you get it set up the way you want, you wont know you arent using Windows 7. Your desktop, start menu, everything will work like you are used to. I keep mine in the car and get it out several times per week at hotspots. I love having the real keyboard and reasonable screen size. If I had really gotten this computer with 64GB internal and regular Windows10 as it advertises, it would be 5 stars.

This suits my needs perfectly for college. Its small and lightweight, so its not annoying to lug around, and it comes with relatively good specs for a budget laptop. I wasnt sure about the difference between the processor options, so I just bought the cheaper of the two which happened to be the n4000 one. I paid about $170 for it. The 4gb ram is great to have as standard. The computer runs smooth and quickly for what I use it for, browsing the internet and writing papers mostly. Windows 10s is annoying, but you can upgrade to Pro for free. Though it does take up quite a bit of storage. So, the 64gb harddrive option is a must, the 32gb one will just get taken over by the operating system. The trackpad is pretty good for moving the mouse around, but its sometimes difficult to click with it. I would have preferred seperate mouse buttons. Battery life seems good, it lasts me the whole a day after a full charge. Though, I dont keep it on all day. As far as typing goes, its pretty comfortable. I have no trouble with the smaller keyboard. Im not too big of a fan of the plastic shiny cover, it just attracts fingerprints. The color is pretty nice however, its a very deep and dark blue that almost looks black. Obviously, you cant really game on this or use heavy programs. But for basic schoolwork and such, you cant go wrong for the price.
