I’m obsessed with cheap laptops and this $200 Asus Vivobook may be my favorite Prime Day deal ever – with a 13th gen Intel Core i3, 8GB DDR5, full HD and Wi-Fi 6, all at a super-low price

You don’t go to Amazon to find the best laptop deal for Prime Day – Best Buy sells the Asus Vivobook 14 (in quiet blue) for $199.99 down from $449.99 – meaning you save a staggering $250, that’s almost 56%.

This laptop is a real winner and has features you’d struggle to get on far more expensive devices. I genuinely think this is the best laptop deal right now – but you will have to be quick as the deal ends in less than 16 hours.

You might know Asus from its gaming laptops, monitors, and accessories. However, the Asus Vivobook is more for work than play. For just under $200, you can have a dedicated and relatively powerful device for handling light tasks, studying on campus and watching YouTube at home.

If you need something a bit more powerful, or would just like to browse your options, take a look at our full list of all the best laptop deals around this Amazon Big Deal Day.

The CPU is paired with 8GB of DDR4 RAM (which you can upgrade), a replaceable 128GB PCIe 4.0 SSD as well as an Intel Wi-Fi 6 wireless card. I love the 14-inch IPS full HD display with a webcam that has a privacy shutter, a step above what you get in this price range.

The notebook is powered by a 42Whr battery fed by a 45W barrel-type charger which frees the type-C connector.

This Asus Vivobook is also portable thanks to a lightweight build, weighing just over 3lbs and slim NanoEdge bezels that make it easier to fold into a compact form.

Despite its thinness (under 18mm), it still includes two USB-A, USB-C, HDMI and a 3.5mm audio jack. In short, it’s an excellent choice for a student or worker who wants a Chromebook-esque laptop for on-the-go.

Now for some weaknesses, it does have a microSD card slot, its HDMI port is limited to v1.4 (so no 4K video output).
