There's still time to save $100 on an ASUS Vivobook
Get the ideal laptop for mobile blogging and creating for just $350.
There's a laptop for everything, and while designers and content creators will usually want a big, powerful device for work, it's can be very useful to also have a highly portable, light – and ideally cheap – second laptop that's easy to whack in a bag and take with you if you're heading out for the day.
The ASUS Vivobook is just the ticket for that, and right now Best Buy has $100 off, taking the price down from $449.99 to $349.99. That's almost a quarter of the price. The deal went live yesterday, and it's still running, so this is a chance to get a very affordable laptop that can still deliver decent performance.
The Vivobook is slim and lightweight, so carrying it around all day is no chore, while a 10th Gen Intel i3 core and 8GB of memory mean it can easily handle casual work on the go. In fact, the Vivobook made it to the number 2 spot on our list of the best laptops for blogging.
The 15.6-inch LED-backlit HD display looks great, and a 256GB SSD leave no lack of space for saving or transferring files or passing photos from a camera. Of course, this deal's for those in the US, but there's no reason for disappointment if you're in the UK, because we've listed below some great UK blogging laptop deals too, including on the Asus Vivobook.
