Introduction
Many of us use laptops as our primary computers. They’re often lighter, more portable, and simply easier to work on than desktops. But with so many choices out there—and so many decisions to make—it can be hard to know what laptop is best for your needs. That’s why we’ve put together this handy guide to help you find the best laptop for you!
For students
- Laptops with a 15-inch screen: If you’re looking for the most bang for your buck, a laptop with a 15-inch screen is usually the way to go. They tend to be more affordable than their smaller counterparts and are ideal for students who want both power and portability in one device.
- Touchscreen laptops: Touchscreens are becoming increasingly popular for everyday tasks like browsing the web or editing documents. While they may not be necessary all of the time, touchscreen laptops can help make learning more interactive and engaging.
- Solid state drive (SSD): SSDs are fast and reliable, but they tend to have shorter lifespans than traditional hard drives because they use flash memory instead of moving parts that can wear down over time (which is why most manufacturers offer warranties on SSDs).
- Long battery life: Some schools require teachers to bring their own devices (BYOD) so having a laptop that lasts all day without needing charging can come in handy if you’re going to be out of range from an outlet at any point during class hours.
Budget laptops (less than $500)
A laptop in the $500-$600 range will get you decent performance at a low price but won’t last as long and will have less storage space. You can find some good budget-friendly laptops for less than $500, including models from brands like Dell and HP. However, keep in mind that if you want a powerful laptop for gaming or video editing, you’ll probably need to spend more than this amount.
When choosing a laptop for yourself, think about the main thing you’ll be using it for.
When choosing a laptop for yourself, think about the main thing you’ll be using it for. Is it primarily for work? Or will you use it mostly as a social media device? What are your needs—tablet mode or laptop? Will you need to store plenty of files on the device?
- Are you looking for something light and portable that can go anywhere with you?
- Do you want high-octane power at home or in the office, so that video editing or other intensive tasks aren’t an issue when working on documents or creating presentations.
