There aren't a whole lot ultraportable laptops on the market that don’t come sporting a chunky price tag. Making lightweight machines costs more money and involves a more complicated assembly and design process, so device-makers priced them accordingly.

That’s why a product like the Dell Inspiron 11 (3000 series) that ships for just $350 / €259 is pretty amazing. The lappy has a 1-inch / 2.4-cm thick chassis and weighs just 3 lbs / 1.3 kg, making it one of the most ultraportable machines on the market, priced under $500 / €370.

Apart from the sleek form factor, the notebook has an 11.6-inch HD touch-enabled screen and is powered by an Intel Celeron dual-core N2810 CPU clocked at 2GHz (from the Haswell family) fitted with an impressive 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive.

For this affordable price, you also get the standard set of connectivity feats, including Wireless-N, HDMI out, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, media card reader and Bluetooth.

Apparently, this super affordable price won’t be around forever waiting for you, so to take advantage head on to the Dell official site and grab your ultraportable.
