What makes a good laptop laptop?

For laptop use, prioritise the right balance of performance, portability and battery life. A modern CPU, 16GB of RAM and a fast SSD suit most needs, with a good screen and a sturdy build for daily carrying.

What specs do I need for a laptop laptop?

Aim for at least 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, with 32GB and a larger drive if you multitask heavily or do creative work. Battery life and weight matter if you are often on the move.

How do I pick the right one?

Start with how you will use it, then match the processor, memory, storage and screen to that. Compare battery life and build quality, and set a budget that covers the specs you actually need.
