Please note, you will only get laptops in the price range you selected. For example, if you only selected "between $1000 and $1200", you will only get laptops in that price range. So if you want laptops in multiple price ranges, please select multiple options.

If you're picky about storage size and/or capabilities of the laptop, then I would aim to have a budget of $1200 at the minimum. This will increase your chances of getting a laptop that is a good fit for you.

Which operating system do you prefer? (Check all that apply)

Windows

Windows is a flexible operating system available on computers at nearly every price and performance level. Its strengths include broad software compatibility, extensive hardware choices, and support for most accessories. It is also the best choice for gaming because it supports the largest game library. Weaknesses include inconsistent hardware quality, update interruptions, and greater malware exposure.

macOS

macOS is Apple’s polished operating system, known for reliable performance, strong security, long battery life, and smooth integration with iPhones and iPads. It is especially popular with students and creative professionals. Gaming support has improved, but the available game library remains smaller than Windows. Its main weaknesses are higher prices, limited upgrades, and fewer hardware choices.

ChromeOS

ChromeOS is Google’s lightweight operating system, designed mainly for web browsing, cloud storage, Android applications, and Google services. Its strengths include affordability, quick startup, strong security, and simple maintenance. Gaming is generally limited to browser games, Android titles, cloud gaming, and some Steam games. It best suits students, casual users, and people with basic computing needs.

You can also go back and change your answers at any time by simply clicking the back button.

Yes, I only want touchscreen computers.

I am okay with both touchscreen and non-touchscreen.

How much storage do you require for your computer?

Generally speaking, having large storage is preferable if you're expected to have tons of large files. This will apply if you're a gamer that plays many games on your computer, or you're consistently working with many video files since these tend to be large. If this sounds like you, then aim for either 512GB or 1TB worth of storage.

On the other hand, if you're someone who's not expected to have tons of large files, or you're not expected to use your computer a lot, then having a 250GB or 512GB storage computer is perfectly fine.

I want a computer that has 256GB or more of storage.

I want a computer that has 512GB or more of storage.

I want a computer that has 1tb or more of storage.

How large do you want your computer screen to be? (check all that apply)

Your ideal screen size depends on how you use and carry your computer. A 13-inch screen is best for frequent travel and maximum portability, while a 14-inch model offers a strong balance between workspace and weight. Screens between 15 and 16 inches provide more room for gaming, video editing, spreadsheets, and multitasking, but they are heavier to carry.

1. I want a compact screen—around 13 inches. (7 computers)

I want a medium screen—around 14 inches. (28 computers)

I want a large screen—around 15 or 16 inches. (32 computers)

How demanding will your everyday computer use be?

Basic use. I mainly need a computer for browsing the internet, email, documents, streaming, shopping, and video calls.

Normal multitasking. I regularly use several browser tabs and everyday programs at once for school, work, communication, and general productivity.

Demanding work. I may use programming tools, large spreadsheets, music-production software, frequent photo or video editing, or other demanding applications.

Very demanding professional work. I regularly use complex production software, heavy calculations, large professional projects, software-development tools, engineering applications, rendering, or several demanding programs simultaneously.

I am not sure.
