How to Choose a Laptop for School
Balance portability, battery life and the apps your classes require.

Pros
Write down required course software and check the supported operating systems. Compare weight with the charger included if you commute daily.
Cons and trade-offs
A larger display gives you more room for split-screen work. It also takes more bag space. Check port placement and charging options before buying a dock.
Who it suits
Prioritize course compatibility and daily carry weight before optional upgrades.
Conclusion
Compare those priorities against the specifications for the exact model you are considering. Where possible, try the device in the environment where you expect to use it.
