Most laptops under $500 come with either Windows 11 or ChromeOS. Windows is a highly versatile operating system that works well for gaming, video editing, and a variety of other tasks.

The Lenovo laptop features a 15.3-inch display with 1920×1200 resolution and an office-ready 60Hz refresh rate. There’s also a 720p webcam available with a built-in privacy shutter.

While it might not look premium, the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 has a great keyboard that’s generally better than most Windows laptops and certainly solid for a laptop under $1,000.
