How to choose the best laptop

How do I pick the best laptop? Which brands make the best laptops: Asus, Acer, Lenovo, HP, Dell, Toshiba, Samsung, Sony, Apple? Should I get the newest model or hold off?

There are lots of questions, and the selection of laptops today is so big that it’s tough to choose. Actually, it’s not that hard. In this article, I will explain the core ideas and priorities: low cost and high performance.

Choosing the brand

There are various views, but it’s best to go for a brand that has high sales worldwide, where making laptops is a key focus: Lenovo, HP, Dell, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, or Samsung. Apple and Sony laptops are seen differently because their brand prices are very high, and Apple uses its unique operating system. These brands are often picked by those wanting to show status, even though the quality of these brands is more about marketing and repairs can be very costly.

From what I found online, the top laptops (for quality and price) are Asus models, while Acer and Lenovo offer the best performance for the price, though usually with lower quality. Samsung, Toshiba, and Dell face various issues, and the reviews on HP are so mixed that I can’t reach a clear decision. It’s important to point out that all brands have certain models with a short lifespan, often due to overheating.

The choice of laptop

To choose the best laptop, decide what the purpose is, what you will use it for (Internet, office programs, games, etc.). The principle «the more expensive, the better» is not the best help when choosing a laptop, because the price depends on many factors: manufacturer, processor and graphics card power, functionality, case material and even color. We can buy a good laptop, which will work without problems for years, at a low price, or vice versa, the best performing laptop purchased on someone’s recommendation will be the loyal customer of the service centers.

Where can I buy my laptop?

One of the most difficult questions before buying a laptop: where to buy it?

From the shop. You will be able to see and try a specific model, all this is important because you will be able to see its real quality.

Remarketing: how to convince visitors to become customers

From the Internet. Here the offer of laptops is much wider. The price is lower, sometimes even much lower.

I liked a model, but I doubt…

Search and read the comments on the chosen model (on the e-mag site). Do not forget, if everything is fine, it means that the buyer is using the laptop, and comments are usually written by those where something does not work (or hands grow from another place), and good laptops can have negative comments. The concern should be due to the large number of negative comments with the same problem.

In fact, there is no perfect laptop. We can choose the best laptop for months, read dozens of comments and not find the ideal model. Every laptop has flaws, our goal is to find a laptop with flaws that are too small or insignificant.

If you don’t want to go into details and wait for a response

The first option – Remember your friends, who are good at it. You don’t have to rely on sellers in stores, they are usually good people, but often they are not so good and use the «more expensive, the better» model, also they are financially motivated to sell more expensive products.

Second option – be independent and choose an Asus laptop with a price between €400 and €800. If you are passionate about gaming, you can choose something more expensive, otherwise you can also choose the cheaper ones, they all have good performance and excellent design.
