Recapitulating on the most crucial aspects of buying a laptop -

• CPU

The Processor of the laptop is its brain. Obviously, the better the CPU the more number of instructions it can handle at any given instant of time. Therefore, more potent the CPU, more performance one can derive out of it. However, this does not mean that everyone should buy an Intel i7 processor laptop. As a matter of fact, most people do not need a laptop with a CPU powerful than Intel i5. Intel i5 serves the sweet spot between powerful performance and decent battery life. The i7 processor is mostly suited to the needs of a 4K video editor or an intensive gamer. 

AMD Ryzen CPUs are another popular series of CPUs in the market and provide potent performance at a relatively lesser price, thereby offering great value for one’s money. They are particularly great in the sphere of gaming, video editing and multitasking. The AMD Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 CPUs are comparable to the i5 and i7 counterparts offered by Intel, respectively.

• RAM

When one wishes to accomplish not so performance-intensive tasks like attending online lectures, taking notes, drafting e-mails, browsing the web, preparing a PPT/Word document, etc., it would be wise to decide on a laptop that comes installed with 4GB RAM. 

When in addition to performing the above stated tasks, one requires a laptop to run several workplace/programming related software, one has to do moderate multitasking by having few tasks opened side-by-side, or one wishes to perform basic photo/video editing, one should opt for a laptop that has at least 8GB of RAM. 

For extensive usage such as playing graphic and performance intensive games, or for running virtual machines, and even for professional photo/video editing that requires one to edit 4K photos and videos where one has to apply several effects and transitions, it would be wise to decide on a laptop with at least 16GB RAM.

• Type of Storage

When deciding on a laptop, it is imperative to note that the generation of the CPU or the amount of RAM are not the components that bring drastic changes in performance, it is the presence or absence of SSD that does. In case of SSD, when the user requests a file, the controller, also known as processor of an SSD has the exact addresses of the blocks where the specific data is written, and the data is almost instantly made available to the user. 

There’s no waiting for a read/write head to find the information it needs. SSD access times are thus measured in nanoseconds. This results in potent performance, which is evident from the fact that SSDs have a read-write speed of up to 3500 MBps. There’s no waiting for a read/write head to find the information it needs. On the other hand, HDDs manage to provide read-write speed only in the range of 50–170 MBps.
