The Asus Chromebook C202 is a good choice for students because of its durable design, comfortable keyboard and long battery life.

The ASUS VivoBook 15 F512DA is an inexpensive laptop that comes with some excellent features. The laptop is powerful enough to engage a mid-range user and even some heavy users can get by with this machine. The device is great for media consumption, thanks to its gorgeous 1080p screen. In this price range, you’d be hardpressed to find a better laptop with the same feature set. Highly recommended.

The Asus VivoBook S14 is compact, well built and good looking, and it pairs a solid 1080p screen with a reasonable everyday processor and great battery life. It's easy to find more processing power elsewhere, though, and the keyboard is loud and feels a little harsh.
