The result?

Only a few years ago, purchasing a 15.6-inch laptop meant spending several hundred dollars. Thanks to ever-lowering costs of production and increased competition from tablets, certain budget laptops have plummetted to under $300.
This particular Asus X551MA laptop features a generous 500GB hard drive, 4GB of RAM, as well as a respectable 6-hour battery life. Considering that Windows 8.1 alone costs around a $100, we consider the Asus X551MA to be one of the best value laptops
