I finally solved the toughest question about buying laptops - here's my expert guide


Laptops usually fall into three main categories - here's what to consider before picking your next one.

One great school laptop is the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus, which offers up to 21 hours of battery life, solid performance from the Snapdragon X Plus chipset, and a vibrant Quad HD display -- all for about $600. So, start by looking for laptops with more powerful processors like Intel's "Lunar Lake" chip or a CPU from AMD's Ryzen AI 300 series. This thin, light, and battery-efficient laptop has a gorgeous 3K OLED display at 120Hz and commendable power under the hood: an Intel Core Ultra 7 or 9 "Lunar Lake" processor.
