...And this computer, which was called the Earth,
was so large that it was frequently mistaken for a planet,
especially by the strange ape-like beings who roamed its surface,
totally unaware that they were simply part of a gigantic computer program.
And this is very odd, because without that fairly simple and obvious
piece of knowledge, nothing that ever happened on the Earth could
possibly make the slightest bit of sense.

Laptop Tips

Here's a few things you should look for.

  • Processor: The CPU of your laptop will determine how fast it operates. A faster processor will help apps load quicker, and is important for resource-intensive tasks like photo and video editing.
  • Memory: Important for multitasking. More memory (or RAM) ensures more apps can run at the same time.
  • Display: An IPS display is arguably superior to TN panels. A higher resolution also makes your screen look crisp and clear.
  • Storage: Solid State Drives (SSDs) are much faster than mechanical hard drives.

Processor Options

Depending on your requirements, you might require a more powerful CPU.

  • Intel Celeron / Pentium: Suitable for light browsing and document editing. These processors are slower compared to the Intel Core-series.
  • Intel Core i3: Performs well for average use-cases. However, these processors are limited to 2 cores only.
  • Intel Core i5: Good performance that would suit the vast majority of users. Now comes with 4-cores in the U-series.
  • Intel Core i7: A step up from the Core i5, with even faster performance.
  • Intel Core i9: For serious productivity, the Core i9 is the fastest in Intel's consumer lineup. They're only available on premium laptops.

What to look for in a laptop?

With so many options out on the market, choosing a laptop can get a bit confusing.

We'll break down the options for you, so you can make a better (and hopefully more informed) decision!

Processor

The processor of your laptop determines its speed and power.

A more powerful processor will make your laptop faster, more responsive and generally easier to use. More expensive processors, such as Core i7's, have more cores at their disposal, meaning they can do more work simultaneously without delay.

It's important to choose a processor that fits your needs. If you're doing video editing or gaming, a powerful processor with 4+ cores is almost a requirement.

However, for basic tasks like word document editing and browsing, a lower-end processor such as a Intel Pentium or AMD Athlon will probably suffice.

Good

Intel Pentium & Intel Core i3

  • Typically dual (2) cores
  • Fine for basic tasks, but nothing too demanding
  • Can only play light, simple games

Better

Intel Core i5 & Core i7

  • From 4-6 cores, with hyperthreading
  • Great for multitasking with multiple applications running
  • Better at video editing and gaming

Best

Intel Core i9

  • From 6-8 cores, with hyperthreading
  • Built for multitasking and demanding applications
  • Suitable for almost all scenarios

Memory (RAM)

Memory is used to store running programs, so you can use Spotify and browse the internet at the same time.

The more memory (or RAM) you have, the more applications you can have running at the same time.

Applications like Photoshop, any video editor and even Google Chrome can use a lot of memory, so if you're planning to do heavy multitasking or content creation, more memory is better.

We recommend: 8GB

Most laptops these days ship with at least 8 gigabytes of RAM.

This is enough to ensure a smooth experience even with multiple web browsing tabs and other applications open.

DDR4 for Gaming

Memory speed will impact your integrated graphics performance.

If you're using an integrated GPU, you'll want faster dual-channel DDR4 memory (3200Mhz ideally) to ensure optimal graphics performance.

Display

The display plays a crucial role in shaping how you use your laptop.

Resolution, panel type (IPS, TN), refresh rate, colours and viewing angles all affect the experience of using your laptop.

Budget laptops will typically have less vibrant, lower-resolution screens than their more expensive cousins. Display quality is particularly important if you view a lot of media, where a dull, washed out screen can really hamper your enjoyment.
