Laptops

Primary use

View products from our Home range designed to entertain or opt for our Business range for products that will rise to the challenge of your working day.

Screen size

For ultimate portability consider 13" screen sizes and below.  Bigger screensizes will help you be more productive so look at 15" and 17" screens if portability is less of a priority.

Resolution

Screen resolution refers to how many pixels can be shown on the screen at one time.  The higher the resolution, the more pixels that can be displayed, resulting in clearer and more detailed images.  Choosing a Full-HD screen will make a big difference to the amount of information you can onscreen and will vastly improve your productivity and entertainment experience.  For the ultimate performance choose models featuring Quad-HD or Ultra-HD (4K) screens.

Processor

The processor is the brain of a computer and is a great indicator of its performance capabilities as a whole. A more powerful processor not only means your laptop will run faster, it also allows you to run programs that lower spec PCs struggle with, including photo editing, graphic design and music creation software. 

Hard drive

The bigger the hard drive, the more space you have for all your files, photos, music and films.

Storage Type

SSD: Without the moving parts of a standard hard drive, solid-state drives are more efficient, reliable, and much faster. Boot up in seconds, transfer files without waiting hours, and enjoy a snappier experience every time you use your PC.
HDD: Don’t worry about growing your collection of digital movies, songs, and pictures. With massive storage options you can save it all, and still have plenty of room left over.
Dual drives (SSD+HDD): Boot up and launch apps with the lightning-fast speed of an SSD, take advantage of the HDD storage capacity. Both drives in your computer.
SSHD: Boot up and launch apps with the lightning-fast speed of an SSD, without sacrificing the massive space of a more traditional HDD. With the perfect combination of both in one easy-to-use drive, you don’t need to make compromises.
eMMC: An embedded Multimedia Card provides reliable flash-based storage at a great value. And without the moving parts of a traditional hard drive, there’s a lower chance of failure and damage.

Memory

RAM is your computer’s memory. The more it has, the more programs your Laptop can operate at the same time without having to pause to load more data.  Choosing models featuring 8GB or more RAM will vastly improve tasks such as photo editing, gaming or music production.

Special features

Graphic card

There are two main types of graphics card – integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are built into the PC and are fine for everyday use such as browsing the internet or writing email. You’ll be fine watching movies on YouTube or looking at photos, but more complex tasks may be slow.  Dedicated cards have more advanced technology and can handle intensive tasks such as video editing. Higher end cards will produce better frame rates when gaming. For best performance look for NVIDIA GTX 950 and above graphics.
