The mighty Asus laptop is on sale at Amazon

Were you limping through 2022 with a slow, outdated laptop, hoping for a new lightweight, portable, and fast model that’s also affordable? The Asus L210 checks all of these boxes and more. With a screen just under 12 inches in size and just 2.2 pounds, this laptop is easy to take with you anywhere. Best of all, it’s just $148, down from its normal price of $240 — and it includes a one-year subscription to Microsoft 365, a $100 value on its own!

This laptop isn’t a major powerhouse, but it isn’t meant to be. It’s ideal for light usage like catching up on the news or checking out your friend’s pictures of their new baby. Need to check emails, browse the web, create word documents or Excel sheets? Then this is your machine.

The lack of power isn’t a bad thing, though. Not every computer needs to be a supercomputer. The smaller size and lower-specced hardware means it can handle 12 hours of usage with ease, keeping you entertained for extended periods of time. And of course, it’s an excellent option for viewing content. The screen is almost 12 inches on the diagonal, which makes it great for laying in bed and binging your favorite show.

While it only has 64GB of onboard storage, the drive is easily expandable. And with the included one-year subscription to Office 365, it’s perfect for students or office workers who need a small machine to take with them on the go.

“It’s a minimal computer as the price should state. But it’s what I needed. Small, lightweight and in great condition. I had an older model where the internet card died and it is easier to buy an updated model than try to use a workaround, one user said.

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
