Inputs: A computer’s inputs (known more commonly as ports), are what allow you to connect accessories to your machine. If you have a large local media library, or will be working with large files on a regular basis, you should opt for a laptop with extra space. Having less storage is fine if you steam your media, and prefer to keep most of your files in the cloud. Storage: We’re recommending laptops with between 32GB and 256GB of storage. Computers with more RAM can run apps more smoothly, and allows you to run more apps simultaneously. RAM: The laptops we’re recommending have either 4GB (Gigabytes) or 8GB of RAM (memory). Processor: All of our recommendations have a new Intel or AMD processor inside, and are capable of running many power-hungry apps without slowing down significantly. Every laptop below has an HD screen, but some of our picks edge closer to 4K. Screen Resolution: A laptop’s screen resolution will determine how sharp text, photos, and videos look. Larger screens are better if you intend to watch a lot of media, but smaller ones are easier to take with you. Screen Size: The computers in this guide have screens between 11 and 15 inches wide. Each operating system is capable of running a distinct set of apps, but all of them work with popular software like Microsoft Office. Operating System: The computers in this guide run one of the three major operating systems: Windows, MacOS, and ChromeOS. These webcams can be used with any video conferencing app, and require no additional software to run. Webcam: All of the laptops we’re recommending have an HP webcam built into their lid.
