How to buy the right laptop during the holiday season (and common mistakes to avoid)
"Choosing the right laptop can feel overwhelming -- even for someone like me, who has lived and breathed laptops for years. You get all these options, configurations, and feature lists that it's impossible not to know which is up and which is down. To make things easier for you, I'll break down laptops and their essentials into three broad usage categories: school, work, and gaming."
"When choosing a school laptop, you'll want to focus on two things: battery life and durability. Students should get something that can last through a full day of classes and afternoon study sessions. Ideally, look for laptops capable of running for 12 hours or more. I also recommend a sturdy 13- or 14-inch laptop that's lightweight but tough enough to handle the occasional bump or drop."
Choosing a laptop can feel overwhelming because of numerous options, configurations, and feature lists. Laptops generally fit three usage categories: school, work, and gaming, each designed with specific hardware priorities. School laptops should prioritize battery life and durability, aiming for 12+ hours of runtime and a sturdy, lightweight 13- or 14-inch build to survive daily use. Performance is secondary for many students who mainly write papers and browse the web, though lightweight games like League of Legends will run on most machines. Examples include the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus with up to 21 hours of battery life, Snapdragon X Plus performance, and a Quad HD display; Chromebooks offer fast, efficient alternatives for students.
