Shopping for back-to-school? These are the budget laptops I’d actually recommend

From a $359 Chromebook to the cheapest way into macOS, these are the budget picks worth your money.

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

The back-to-school season often turns into a laptop, especially the budget ones that aren't too heavy on your wallet. Due to the ongoing memory crisis, most manufacturers have already bumped up their laptop prices, including Apple. However, that doesn't mean that I won't help you get a new machine. So, for this one, I spent time digging through spec sheets, customer ratings, and price tags, finding devices that don't just look cheap in an Amazon listing, but actually hold up.

From a flexible touchscreen Chromebook to the least expensive way into macOS, these six laptops balance price and performance well. I'd hand any one of them to a student heading back to campus this fall, depending on what they need and what their priorities are.

Asus’ latest Zenbook puts a seriously bright OLED screen inside an impossibly slim body

The Zenbook 14 Air is only 11mm thick but still packs a 77Wh battery

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Asus has introduced a new AMD-powered version of the Zenbook 14 Air 2026, combining a bright OLED display and a large battery inside an 11mm-thick chassis. It weighs 1.19kg, keeping it firmly in ultraportable territory despite the 77Wh battery inside.

The Zenbook 14 Air 2026 itself is not entirely new. Asus launched an Intel configuration powered by the Core Ultra 9 386H in China back in January. The latest version switches to AMD’s Ryzen AI 7 H 445 and is priced at CNY 9,999, or around $1,477. (via Notebookcheck)

Before you blow your student budget, here’s the MacBook that actually suits your major

Confused by the MacBook lineup? I sorted it out so students don't have to

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Apple’s MacBook lineup has become much broader in 2026. The MacBook Neo brings the entry price down considerably, the M5 MacBook Air remains the obvious all-rounder, and the MacBook Pro covers students whose coursework can push a laptop to its limits.

But with a wide range, choosing one becomes harder. Spending more can bring a better display, faster storage, additional ports, and considerably greater performance. However, plenty of students will never take advantage of those upgrades. So, I have narrowed the current lineup down to three models, each aimed at a distinct kind of buyer.
