Upgrading your Windows 10 PC? I answered the toughest question about buying laptops for you

Laptops can be categorized into three primary usage types: school, work, and gaming. For school laptops, key factors are battery life and durability, with a recommended battery life of 12 hours or more. A sturdy 13- or 14-inch laptop is ideal for tasks like writing and web browsing. Notable options include the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus (up to 21 hours of battery life) and the Lenovo Chromebook Plus (2K OLED touchscreen). The M1 MacBook Air is available for 9. Work laptops require powerful processors for demanding tasks like video conferencing and data analysis. Examples include the Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition (Intel Core Ultra 7 258V) and the Dell Premium 16 (4K touchscreen, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070). The HP EliteBook Ultra G1i features a 9MP webcam and 2.8K OLED display. Gaming laptops prioritize performance and display quality, with a preference for high refresh rates. The Alienware 18 Area-51 (Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070) and Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (16-inch 240Hz OLED display) are highlighted. The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 features an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060. Versatile models that can handle all three categories include the MacBook Pro M4, Dell 14 Plus, and Acer Swift 16 AI, which features a 3K OLED display and Intel Core Ultra processors.
