| | With its eye-catching raspberry-red paint job, the $500 Aspire E5-471-59RT stands out in a sea of drab black and gray budget laptops. You also get pretty beefy specs for the price, including a Core i5 processor and 500GB hard drive, though you're limited to 4GB of RAM out of the box. Overall, this Acer is an attractive value for those who don't need a touch screen. |

The Flex 2 15 (starting at $530, $600 as reviewed) sports a Core i5 processor and a crisp, 1080p display. You can switch the device from laptop to stand mode in seconds, thanks to the Flex 2's hinge. However, since it lacks the tablet mode of its Yoga cousins, is this halfway-hybrid worth the cash? |
