How to choose

Start from the use case, not the spec sheet. For office work and studying, 16 GB of memory and a decent SSD are enough today; for gaming and video editing the graphics card decides. On a laptop, check battery capacity and weight; on a desktop, case cooling and power supply rating — they determine how quiet and how long-lived the machine is.

FAQ

Laptop or desktop? A laptop wins when your workplace moves; a desktop gives more performance for the same money and can be upgraded piece by piece.

What to upgrade first? On an older machine an SSD and extra memory give the biggest jump; in games, the graphics card.
