Buying a budget notebook is a tricky task, since the value for money offered by models in the lower price range can vary immensely. We've put four head-to-head to make your choice easier.
The A33E is a reasonable notebook for those on a budget, but its dearth of features and low battery life when compared to some of its competitors is undoubtedly a deterrent.
