Deal | Affordable ASUS Vivobook Go laptop becomes even cheaper thanks to a generous 33% price cut at Best Buy

If you are in search of a cheap notebook but don’t want a Chromebook, it might be worth taking a look at the ASUS Vivobook Go laptop that Best Buy has now discounted by a considerable US$150 (via slickdeals). The notebook can now be had for only US$299.99 instead of the usual US$449.99. Per Honey’s price history tool, the US$299.99 price is the lowest rate for the ASUS Vivobook Go in 120 days.

Now the question becomes, what does the ASUS Vivobook Go offer for three Benjamins? For starters, the laptop is powered by a quad-core Ryzen 3 7320U Mendocino APU with a Radeon 610M iGPU, 8 GB of LPPDR5 RAM, 256 GB of SSD storage, and a 14-inch display. The display boasts FHD resolution and a peak brightness of 250 nits.

Other niceties include a backlit keyboard which laptops in this price range often skip, good selection of ports including one USB Type-C and two USB Type-A ports alongside a headphone/microphone combo jack and an HDMI output.

When it comes to performance, the Ryzen 3 7320U with 4 Zen 2 cores and 8 threads should be a reliable everyday performer, as it can boost up to 4.1 GHz. However, the integrated Radeon 610M with its 2 RDNA 2 Compute Units is relatively weak, so you won’t be doing any gaming on it.

Long story short, the ASUS Vivobook Go is a portable laptop that is sufficiently powerful for everyday use. For US$299.99, it appears to be an absolute bargain.
