What to Look For
Aim for at least 8 hours of real-world battery life if you work away from a desk.
16GB RAM is the sweet spot — 8GB feels slow with multiple browser tabs and apps open.
IPS panels give accurate colours for everyday work; OLED is premium for creative professionals.
Match the processor to your workload: i5/Ryzen 5 for everyday tasks, i7/Ryzen 7 or M-series for creative and heavy work.
