When it comes to a buying laptop, the rule of thumb is don’t go cheap. This means that you really have to save money in order to buy a decent laptop, but it is guaranteed that it will be worth it in the long run.

But maybe this time it’s different. It seems that there are some laptops now that are pretty cheap but powerful enough. And when I say cheap, it’s not just under the $700-range, but also under the $400-range. Ars Technica compares two of Walmart’s finest laptops that are within this range — the $378 Acer Swift 1 and the $350 Gateway GWTN141-2.
Both of these are serviceable if cheap laptops, but the Gateway, despite being the less expensive model, will be the clear winner for most people. It’s more powerful, more repairable, more upgrade-able, and in our testing, a bit more reliable as well.
Check out their comparison over at the site.
