| Research take , different | A well-reviewed budget gasket board that gets praise for sound and value. Expect limited software and hard disassembly. | A beautifully built low-profile board with a good feel, but a weak battery, limited switch choice and no software, according to Tom's Guide and PCMag. Choose it for looks and typing, not features. |
