Check out our review of the Acer K272KUL monitor.

Acer, known for making sub-$1,000 Windows-based notebooks, just announced a new monitor that could be a solid fit for those who want a big, high-res screen while staying way south of four-digit price tags.

The K272HUL, Acer’s newest display, sports a 27-inch panel with a resolution of 2560×1440. The Acer K272HUL features a pair of HDMI ports, as well as DisplayPort and DVI connectors. The display can be tilted as far back as 25 degrees, and also includes a pair of built-in speakers.

Acer claims that its ComfyView tech, which is built into this monitor, aims to minimize the reflection of any ambient light, while also stating that the firm’s Adaptive Contrast Management system analyzes images frame-by-frame and adjusts the display’s contrast ratio accordingly to provide the clearest looking images. We’ll see if these claims measure up once we take a look at the Acer K272HUL in our full review.

The Acer K272HUL should be available right now. Priced at $449.99, at the very least, this is probably one of the cheapest 27-inch 2560×1440 you’ll be able to find, if not the cheapest of them all outright.

You don't need to spend several hundreds of dollars on a new laptop that you'll use as a productivity tool because there are budget-friendly options like the Asus Vivobook Go L510MA. It's actually currently even cheaper from Walmart after an $80 discount, which brings its price down to just $199 from $279 originally. There's no telling how much time is remaining before the offer expires though, so if you want to take advantage of it, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Asus Vivobook Go L510MA
For a laptop that will be able to handle basic activities like doing online research, building reports, and browsing social media, you can't go wrong with the Asus Vivobook Go L510MA. It's equipped with the Intel Pentium Silver N5030 processor and 4GB of RAM, which are a far cry from the specifications of the best laptops, but it will be enough for simple tasks. The device also comes with a 15.6-inch screen with Full HD resolution, which is pretty large and sharp for its price, but it's still portable as it only weights about 3.5 pounds with a thickness of just 0.72 of an inch.
