: Best Buy has dropped the price on this HP 14 laptop by $10 today, making it an even better budget pick. Overall, an Intel Celeron processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage means you shouldn't expect big things from this machine.

At just $179, this is one of the cheapest Windows machines you'll find anywhere - we would recommend a more powerful machine for more intensive workloads, however.
