If you are in the market for a laptop but with an impossibly tight budget, then the new CTL Chromebook PX11E Laptop may pique your interest. The PX11E is CTL’s latest Chrome OS device to feature an upgraded Jasper Lake processor which is 35% more powerful and up to 78% better graphics performance than the previous generation processors.
It is the perfect device for both education and work, and very importantly, it is impossibly affordable at, wait for it, US$279. I know. It is not the prettiest but seriously, for under US$300 for a full-fledged laptop that is lightweight, slim, and rugged? What more can one ask? Nothing. Oh, did we mention that has a Google Auto Update Expiration (AUE) of June 2029?
