Acer is going even deeper into the world of affordable laptops, this time rolling out its cheapest 2-in-1 Windows tablet/laptop to date. Already available for sale, Acer’s new One 10 sports a modest $200 price tag and specs that fall right into what we’d expect to see from a budget laptop in that range.

Jumping into those specs, buyers will find that the Acer One 10 has a modest 2GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in storage, and a quad-core Intel Atom processor. Obviously, these are all on the lower end of the spectrum as laptops go, but pretty much on par with what we’ve come to expect from a computer falling into that ultra-budget $200 price range. It also comes with Windows 8.1 installed out of the box, which means users will be able to get an upgrade to Windows 10 when it releases in just a few days.

The new 2-in-1 from Acer features a 10.1-inch display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution. It also features micro HDMI support for connecting it to an external display. allowing users to relax their eyes a bit with a larger screen when at home if they so choose.

Speaking of ports, there’s a USB port and microSD card slot on the Acer One 10. Because of the relatively small 32GB of storage offered, users might look to expand with a card, so it’s nice to have that option.

The keyboard dock is included out of the box, not sold as a separate accessory like some Windows tablets (namely the Microsoft Surface Pro). The dock is also flexible, allowing users to sit the 2-in-1 in four different positions depending on how they want to use it.

Other notable features of the Acer One 10 are two 1600 x 1200 cameras (one on the front, one on the back), a built-in microphone, and a 8,400 mAh battery. While not as light as the powerhouse ultrabooks on the market, it does weigh in at a respectable 2.6 pounds even with the keyboard attached.

Acer’s new laptop is available for sale now through Acer itself, and through third-party retailers like Best Buy, for $200.

The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 will be available soon, on August 25. The new model is reminiscent of Microsoft's Surface Pro series with its folio design and touch stylus (sold separately).

However, don't dismiss the laptop as a rip-off. In classic XPS fashion, it's an incredibly refined, sleek, and powerful device that looks to appeal to those in the premium laptop market.

Apple MacBook Air M1 open, on a table.

The once highly anticipated M2 MacBook Air is finally out. But despite how great the design looks, many potential buyers are instead turning to the M1 MacBook Air, a laptop that's nearly two years old.

Apple still sells it, of course, and as plenty of reviewers and commentators have pointed out, it may prove to be the better option for many people -- and there are three main reasons why.
