How to choose the right laptop for you
Take a look at our laptop buying guides and see what specs you should keep in mind before making your final decision
Best laptops for graphic design
Your laptop must be powerful enough to support the most popular graphic design programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, etc. and perform intensive tasks like video editing, animation, 3D modelling and rendering with ease. Therefore, we recommend you look for a laptop with a high-end CPU and a minimum of 8 GB RAM, a 15” resolution or higher, a dedicated graphics card and at least 500 GB SSD to store large files and projects. You can also check out our mobile workstation laptop selection, where we have high-performance devices featuring an innovative, ultraportable design.
Best laptops for gaming
While the desktop remains the top choice among PC gamers, you still can choose a more portable alternative without compromising on performance. The main component you should be looking at when it comes to getting the most out of your gaming experience is the GPU. A powerful GPU will allow you to play the latest games at high settings. Pair a good GPU like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 20 or 30 series with a high-performing CPU, minimum 16 GB RAM, a comfortable keyboard and a full HD screen, and you’ve got yourself a high-quality gaming laptop.
Best laptops for remote work
Whether you’re a freelancer or you’ve recently started working remotely, you should be looking for a laptop that can combine portability with great battery life and superior performance, depending on your line of work. However, you should first determine what features are essential for you to do your work. For example, a software developer will need a laptop with certain specs that most likely won’t suit the needs of a content writer or a graphic designer.
