Two gadgets have emerged on BestBuy recently, and both are quite the jawdropper to all tech consumers. In fact, some may find this too good to be true, as these devices have been put on display at surprisingly low pices. Here are the details on the two device:
A Microsoft tablet running with pre-installed Windows 8.1 may cost around $100 or €78. However, in the case of notebooks, it would be too good to be true if they are sold at around that cost.
Back in November, ASUS launched a Chromebook, called the X205TA, that was first sold at $199 / €159, which is still quite cheap at that time. Then, Microsoft Store put the same model on sale with a $179 / €142 price tag. Recently, however, BestBuy sold the notebook for as low as $99 / €78.
The ASUS X205TA is an 11.6-inch device coming with 1366 x 768 pixel resolution that draws power from an Intel Atom quad-core processor fitted with 2GB of RAM. That notebook measures just 0.7" thick and weighs only 2.1 lbs.
For the second device, we have the sleek MacBook Air that sells for $999 / €800, which is ten times more expensive than the first device. However, it's outstanding specs make up for every penny that goes out.
The MacBook Air comes with a faster and more power-efficient dual-core Intel Core i5 processor (up to 2.7GHz on Turbo Boost) with 3MB shared L3 cache. It comes with 4GB of RAM and has an internal flash storage og 128GB. It also features a glossy 1366 x 768 HD LED display that exhibits vibrance even in dim lighting conditions. Moreover, Apple's notebook measures 0.68" by 12.8 inches by 8.94", and weighs 2.96 lbs.
Not long after the post was made, the ASUS X205TA had been sold out due too its unbelievably low cost. MacBook Air, on the other hand, is still up for grabs.
