Indian OEM iBall will soon launch a series of affordable laptops in its motherland. Marketed under the name “CompBook”, the cheapest laptop in this series has a price tag of only $150 and looks like a mid-range ultra-book. As far as design in concerned, CompBook is thin, ultra-light, compact and able to power you through the day thanks to its 8-hour battery life. And speaking about great battery life, here are some of the best laptops running Windows 10 to choose from.

Its CompBook series includes two laptop models, the first one is equipped with a 11.6-inch HD display, while the second has a slightly mode generous 14-inch display. Both laptops are powered by an Intel Atom Quad Core Z3735F processor capable of reaching up to 1.83 GHz.

iBall has a very interesting motto for its laptops describing the company’s goal:
