Three tips for buying a laptop
The best size for a laptop that is easily portable but still comfortable to work on is between 12 and 14 inches. Larger than 14 can be useful if you don't move your computer much.
If you buy a laptop for more than £400, try to find something that at least has these specifications:
- Processor: The "brain" of your computer. Try to find a computer with at least i5 core or a Ryzen 5 processor.
- Memory: When it comes to file and application storage and performance, look for at least 8 GB RAM and SSD instead of hard disc storage.
- Screen resolution: Choose a computer that has 1920X1080 resolution, which is called Full HD. If you buy a computer with a lower resolution than this, it will be noticeable when you watch films and other media. You can also pay for higher resolution and better image quality, but this often comes at the expense of the battery life.
If you are able to always have your computer connected to the power, battery life is not the most important consideration for you. But if you work on the go, you would want at least 7 hours of battery life, and 8+ is ideal. When it comes to battery life, don't rely blindly on what the manufacturer says, but rather read up on battery life from secondary sources.
