It's clear that the MacBook Neo has shaken Windows PC makers with its sub-$600 price and high-quality build. Despite Microsoft's claims in a 'value advantage report' released last week, the best budget laptops don't quite offer the same capabilities or build.
Intel may have the solution, with the first Wildcat Lake "Core Series 3" laptops finally hitting retail shelves. There is a catch, though: these laptops are currently only available in China, but it does give us an idea of what could eventually come to the U.S. and elsewhere.
