Who would pass up an 'incredibly fast' 17-inch laptop for $400? It's 75% off

What is it?

Wallet-friendly laptops are becoming more and more common, but far too many of those fall into the Chromebook category (i.e., great machines with limited applications). If you want a better solution — and a full-size model — then check out this Sgin 17-inch model. It has 8GB of RAM and a 26GB solid state drive, along with a processor that can reach speeds up to 2.5GHz. Best of all, Amazon has it discounted by a jaw-dropping $1,100 — now it's just $400.

Why is this a good deal?

A laptop with this level of power usually costs a pretty penny, but to snag one for such a steep discount brings it down to a practically unbelievable level. We rarely see discounts of $1,100 off that make such a big difference.

Why do i need this?

Let's start by talking about the operating system. It comes with Windows 11 built-in, which is a $100-plus value on its own. It also has an 8,000mAh battery; that's about eight hours of battery life in total, although you can use the laptop while it's on the charger, of course.

The dual-core processor reaches speeds up to 2.5GHz, which is more than enough to handle multiple browser tabs and several simultaneous applications. It's even enough for some basic gaming, but there's another concern on that front: The laptop doesn't have fans for heat dissipation. Instead, it has a large ventilation hole in the bottom and a dust filter. Any intensive applications will require cooling from an external source such as a laptop fan mount.

The display itself is 17 inches across at 1920x1080 pixels, which is the standard 1080p resolution. The color accuracy is phenomenal, and the text is crisp and sharp — you won't have to worry about eyestrain after a long day's work. There are also numerous ports, including USB 3.0, mini HDMI, MicroSD, and more. Wi-Fi 5.0 and Bluetooth are both built-in, so you won't need an external adapter for either of those.
