| Typical Use |
The majority of laptops on the market, including the cheapest ones with basic specs, are suitable for the common everyday tasks like web browsing, emails, or document editing. Having a powerful and power-hungry laptop just to complete these tasks isn’t necessary. Office and productivity laptop tasks typically involve word and spreadsheet processing, presentations, emailing, web research, and multitasking between business applications.

Unless you play the latest AAA games for which you need a gaming laptop, lighter games like Minecraft, Roblox, League of Legends, or Sims, you can run decently well on a regular mid-range laptop. Laptops used for movie watching don’t have to include high-performance components, but they should offer decent screens with wide viewing angles. For professional content creation such as high-resolution photo and video editing or music production, a laptop with high performance is recommended. However, for occasional light content creation tasks like 1080p video and basic photo editing, mid-range performance is sufficient, too. In both cases, laptops used for visual content creation should have at least decent screens. |
