Just a few years ago, a budget laptop was, by default, a big and ugly plastic box. At that time, the Celeron M and lower-end Pentium Processors were the king of Intel's market of laptops and notebooks. However, the year 2012 is considered as the first year when budget laptops really got a fair shake. There is a wide range of laptops with some surprising features that make them only cost under $600, and you can receive the same performance as a more expensive model. The number of cheap laptops, from 11-inch ultraportables to 17-inch desktop replacements, continues to grow thanks to technology advances.
Here are some of the best budget laptops priced under $600 currently available for a variety of different uses and prices.
