Let’s check our list with the 10 best laptops under $700 available in 2018, featuring powerful devices with the most modern hardware for all types of users

Looking for a new laptop and your budget is under 700 dollars? We have great news as our list with the 10 best laptops under $700 feature powerful laptops, including options with dedicated video cards and the latest Intel chips.

Laptops Under 700$ – What to Except

I would call the budget of $700 dollars for a laptop somewhere in the upper mid-range among all laptops. You will have access to a good variety of models, many of them, powered by the latest technology in processing.

However, there are few limitation within this budget. The most powerful laptops, using dedicated video cards are mostly out of this list. However, it is still possible to find a handful of laptops that have this type of hardware setup.

There are certainly good options if you are looking for 2-in-1 laptops in this category. 2-in-1 models tend to be mid range laptops, as they have too much complex hardware to be extremely affordable, and very few of the most expensive laptops have this functionality.

Finally, you can also find great traditional laptops in this price range. Series like the Acer Aspire and Dell Inspiron have a number of options with great value for the money. Some of their models are listed below.

Gaming Laptops Under 700 Dollars

You might be looking for a laptop to be your full portable gaming machine, or just an option for casual gaming. In fact most of the laptops in our list are not really ideal for gaming (even if many of them have a good overall gaming performance).

As mentioned above, most models in our list do not have a dedicated GPU, and even the ones who have it, they tend to be entry level GPUs. However, with just a bit more investment, you can already find great gaming laptops for more than 700 dollars.

This 2-in-1 laptop is certainly one of the most appealing in our list of the best laptops under $700. Apart from being a versatile device like all 2-in-1 laptops, this Dell has some of the latest hardware currently available for laptops. The Core i5-8250U processor is the powerhouse of this laptop, and is part of the 8th generation(Kaby Lake R) of Intel chips.

Its 13.3 inch touch screen display has Full HD resolution and guarantees awesome image output for this laptop. It also comes 8GB DDR4 RAM, and you can easily add more memory if you need. Definitely a great choice if you are looking for a 2 in 1 laptop. It comes with 1 TB HDD, which is more than enough to store your data, however an SSD would be certainly welcome

If you want a laptop to work, but you are also an occassional gamer, this Acer might be the right choice for you.

Another 2-in-1 laptop is part of our list, this time from the renowned Taiwanese brand ASUS. One of the advantage of this laptop is that it has a 15.6 inch screen, which is somewhat hard to find in the 2-in-1 laptop niche.
