"Unknown Brands You always know it's bad when the brand of the laptop isn't mentioned in the title of the product. Oh, you've never heard of the well-known, reliable laptop manufacturer Jumper? Or Nimo? Yeah, I haven't either. Yet, Amazon seems to think these are appropriate to recommend as some of the best laptops. Like the HP laptops above, these are extremely cheap Windows 11 laptopsall under $300."
"The Jumper laptop suffers from some of the same problems, such as the eMMC storage and Intel Celeron processor, even if the company at least manages to include a 1080p display. The large touchpad and edge-to-edge keyboard look nice, too. Yet, I would never recommend a laptop that isn't from a reputable manufacturer. It's not that it's impossible that these laptops could be decent, but buying some that have almost no independent reviews isn't a good idea."
The Samsung Galaxy Book4 offers acceptable performance but is overpriced at $565 compared with better alternatives. The Asus Vivobook 14/16 with an 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon X often undercuts that price and delivers significantly better battery life. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X uses the same chip and can be cheaper. Unknown brands like Jumper and Nimo sell very inexpensive Windows laptops that rely on eMMC storage and Intel Celeron processors and often lack independent reviews. Many off-brand models are misleadingly marketed as gaming laptops despite lacking discrete GPUs or other gaming features, and worthwhile gaming laptops are not available around $600.
