Recently, I discovered laptops that cost a little north of $100 are an actual thing. When a seven year old Nintendo Switch still retails for $300, the notion you can buy a fully functioning portable PC for such an absurdly low price is borderline astonishing to me.
Over the past week or so, I’ve spent my evenings getting acquainted with the GeoBook 2E — a 12.5-inch Windows 10 Pro laptop you can buy on Amazon UK for the modest price of £95. That works out to roughly $120 USD, which isn’t that much more than the brilliant Logitech MX Master 3S mouse I just bought. And though the GeoBook 2E isn’t available in the States, there are budget laptops like the Asus BR1100 that go for a super affordable $155.
