Does expensive = good? Vaio wants you to pony up Apple levels of money for a Windows PC. While the lower-end Core i5 configuration is decently priced for what you're getting, our high-end Core i7 configuration doesn't offer much more to justify its enormous $700 surcharge.
Intel Core i7-1195G7 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 14.00" | 1.1 kg

For a small budget. The Oppo A16s is an inexpensive entry-level smartphone that wants to convince with its 5,000 mAh strong battery, an eye-friendly display and last but not least a triple camera. How the Oppo smartphone performs for less than 180 Euros (~$208) can be read in the review.
Mediatek Helio G35 | PowerVR GE8320 | 6.52" | 190 g
