BEST CHEAP GENERAL-USE LAPTOP (ALTERNATE PICK)

Sometimes one of our favorite inexpensive laptops is out of stock, so we included an extra pick here in this key category. The budget runner-up MSI Modern 14 is another 14-inch lightweight that sells for just under $500. With sturdy aluminum construction, a good selection of ports, and enough battery life to get you through an eight-hour workday, it's as capable as it is affordable. Its smaller 128GB SSD leaves it a little short on storage, but its combination of portability and performance is still one of the best in its class.
