Best Four budget laptops for student

1. Asus VivoBook Max X541SA

• Rating: 

Price in Pakistan: 30,200 Rupees Approx.

The Asus VivoBook Max X541SA is a laptop made for those who want a solid, cheap computer. It has some neat extras such as a large hard drive, a fake brushed metal finish and speakers that sound much better than most at the price. If you need a computer you’ll use extensively most days, though, we’d strongly advise getting one with an Intel Core i3 CPU rather than the Intel Pentium used here. While it’s the “next best” option, it is noticeably slower, regardless of what you’re doing. If Rs 30,000 , or even 40,000 , is your max budget you also have to accept that you won’t get a dazzling screen. The VivoBook's dated display technology ensures image quality is, at best, passable. Still not put off? We won’t deny there’s a good amount on offer here for those on a very tight budget, with plenty of storage, wide-ranging connectivity and reasonable build quality.

2. Lenovo IdeaPad 320S

• Rating: 

Price: 35,200 Rupees Approx.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 320S proves cheap laptops don’t have to be undesirable. A portable frame and modern look make this a laptop you could be proud to take out at the local coffee shop. We’re also glad to see a Pentium-based system run Windows 10 so well, with performance in basic tasks similar to that of an Intel Core machine, The screen is very poor, however, thanks to its use of a basic TN panel. If you’re looking for something that’ll double as a portable Netflix/iPlayer, You might want to save up for something with an IPS screen.

3. Dell Inspiron 11 3000

• Rating: 

Rupees: 26,500 Rupees Approx.

If you're after a budget laptop that'll let you work on the go and last all day, the Dell Inspiron 11 3000 is one of your best options. It's comfortable to type on, has a practical screen and its battery life is great among Windows laptops. Just make sure you're ready for its humble performance first. Windows 10 does feel quite slow, making the Dell Inspiron 11 3000's best-fit use as a typewriter for checking your emails as you nip between free Wi-Fi spots across town. If you can't put up with a bit of lag, consider getting a Chromebook instead.

4. Acer Chromebook 14

• Rating: 

Price: 30,600 Rupees Approx.

There's a lot to like about the Acer, including it's smart design, larger screen size, and impressively long battery life. These are offset by a few less than desirable components. The display is adequate at best, the keyboard is also average, and performance feels hampered by the low memory allocation. It's a solid machine, but the compromises may be too much for some.

How to remove Windows password login in Windows 10

Don't want to enter your Microsoft password every time you log into your PC or laptop? Our helpful guide will show you how to bypass the Windows password login in Windows 10.

Part of the reason tablets became so popular is the fact they are always-on - no waiting for Windows to load, and no needing to enter your password every single time you wanted to use them.

Well, tablets are great, but depending on the situation at hand sometimes you just need a PC or laptop. And you still want it to load quickly. That shouldn't be too much to ask.

You can increase the speed at which Windows loads firstly by removing unnecessary startup programs. A second step - and one to take only if you're pretty sure your computer won't fall into the wrong hands - is to remove the additional step of needing to enter a password for Windows.

Removing Windows' password login is a simple case of unchecking a box in the User Account settings. Here's how to access that option.

Removing Windows' password login in User Accounts

• Type netplwiz in the Start menu search bar, then click the top result to run the command

• Untick from the box next to 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer' and hit Apply

• Enter your username and password, then re-enter your password. Click Ok

• Click Ok again to save the changes

To reactivate Windows password login just return to this settings menu and tick the box next to 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer'.
