Choosing the right laptop can be overwhelming. Here’s a complete guide to help you select a device that balances performance, portability, and budget:
1. Purpose
Decide if you need a laptop for work, gaming, or both. Gaming laptops require better GPUs, while work laptops need fast processors and battery life.
2. Processor & RAM
- Work: Intel i5/i7 or AMD Ryzen 5/7 with 8–16GB RAM
- Gaming: Intel i7/i9 or AMD Ryzen 7/9 with 16GB+ RAM
3. Storage
SSD storage improves boot speed and performance. Consider at least 512GB SSD.
4. Display & Graphics
- Work: Full HD (1080p) is enough
- Gaming: 120Hz+ refresh rate with dedicated GPU
5. Battery Life
Check real-world reviews; gaming laptops consume more power than ultrabooks.
