Laptop Buying Guide: How to choose the right laptop for you

1. Firstly consider your use: How you plan to use your laptop will help determine which features you need and which you don’t. If you just want something to browse the web and stream movies, you can look at cheaper options with larger screen sizes. If you’re a graphic designer you may want a 2-in-1 that easily converts into a touchscreen tablet. For coding, gaming, or other activities that require space, you’ll want to look at laptops with a lot of storage that can handle these programs.
2. Laptop vs Notebook vs Tablet: While you may think you need a laptop, you should consider all of your options before deciding. Notebooks tend to be sleeker and lighter in weight so they’re more portable. They’re better for entertainment and basic purposes like writing emails and surfing the internet. They’re also good for students if you need something to take notes with in class and type up papers at home. Tablets are another great choice for students, as they have a lot of options with add-ons. If you have a tablet with a keyboard and pen, you have a very versatile device. Although cost-wise, Notebooks are usually the cheapest option. iPads can be more expensive than some computers and laptops have a wide range in price depending on their capabilities and the brand.
3. Operating system: The next thing to think about is what operating system you have a preference for when choosing your new laptop. Windows is a standard operating system, compatible with Microsoft Office Suite, and overall will have everything you need for work or study. Most laptops are compatible with Windows, so you’ll have plenty of options to choose from like Lenovo, Asus, and Dell laptops. On the other hand, MacOS is only available on Apple Macbooks, but if you already have an iPhone or iPad, you may prefer to keep all of your devices aligned. It also has a simple and easy-to-use interface which a lot of people love. If you’re open to an even simpler operating system, the Chrome OS is good if your main purpose is browsing the web or checking social media. It’s more limited than the others, but Chromebooks are cheaper and more portable. If you use Google Drive and prefer to write on Google Docs over Microsoft Word, Chromebooks are a perfect choice for you. You can shop some from well-known brands like Samsung, HP, and Acer.
4. Screen size and weight: Standard laptops usually have a screen size between 13 and 15 inches, which range between 4 to 5.5 pounds in weight. Keep this in mind, if you prefer to have a larger screen with high resolution and graphics, or if you need something lighter that’s suitable to carry everywhere.
5. Battery life: Unless you plan to be connected to your charger, make sure you check the battery life of a laptop before buying. About 8 hours of battery life is good, so you could do a full day’s work before needing to recharge.

There are many things to consider when purchasing a new laptop, so these are just the basics.
