Student laptops
Looking for a new student laptop? It's important to take the screen size and the processor into account. If you often take your laptop with you to lectures, a compact size is nice. Don't want to miss a single detail on your screen and do you often work in one location? A larger size suits you better. The processor you need depends on your degree. For Windows laptops, we recommend at least an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 processor. For MacBook models, we recommend at least an Apple M2 chip. If you're a creative or technical-degree student and you use a lot of demanding software, we recommend a more powerful processor. Do you work in the cloud often or write a lot of reports? A Chromebook suits you.
