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.

If someone said cheap laptops can’t be good-looking, they were wrong. iBall proves that fashionable things don’t have to be extremely pricey. 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:

Open up to the idea of every Indian with a Laptop!
