"Choosing the right laptop can feel overwhelming -- even for someone like me who's lived and breathed laptops for years. You get all these options, configurations, and feature lists that it's impossible not to know up from down. So, to make things easier for you, I'll be breaking down laptops and their essentials using 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."
Laptops fit three broad usage categories: school, work, and gaming. School laptops should emphasize long battery life (ideally 12+ hours), durability, and a lightweight 13- or 14-inch design; performance is secondary for tasks like writing and web browsing. The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus offers up to 21 hours, Snapdragon X Plus performance, and a Quad HD display for about $600. Work-focused laptops should balance strong CPU performance, battery life, port selection, and security features while maintaining a thin, professional design. Gaming laptops require discrete GPUs, robust cooling, high-refresh-rate displays, and tolerate heavier, thicker builds for sustained performance.
