What should I look for in a new laptop?
The specs and features necessary for your personal or work laptop depends on your specific profession and lifestyle. For example, a user looking for a machine capable of taking on document creation and emailing probably doesn’t need the newest generation of Intel® Core™ i9 processors. However, a design professional who regularly used CAD software has a much greater need for
high-powered computing and a processor that can keep up.
With that in mind, it’s important to understand the different choices available in the laptop deals section of HP Store. Using the specs and features guide below, you can get a better understanding of what you may want or need for your device.
1. Laptop type
For many people, a traditional clamshell is the right choice. Portable and capable, a regular laptop is perfect if you don’t need additional features or frills.
But it’s important to note, there are other types of laptops available. For example, some users may benefit from a 2-in-1 laptop that delivers the best of both worlds of a regular laptop and a tablet. A 2-in-1 device gives you laptop-level processing power and a capable operating system, but with the portability of a tablet when you need it.
Tablets come in handy if you’re out in the field making notes or packing for a trip where space is at a premium, and they are light enough to carry around with you all day if you’re on the go.
HP Spectre x360 laptops, for example, offer up a 360-degree hinge so you can sketch out quick ideas in tablet mode, send out emails in traditional laptop mode, and deliver a contract-winning presentation in tent mode. Designed to be flexible, this device is ideal for a modern professional.
Whether you want a traditional laptop or a modern 2-in-1 laptop, there is a wide array of efficient machines adept at working as hard as you do at HP Store. Plus, there are many models in our laptop sales section that allow you to customize before you buy, so you can choose the processor, graphics card, storage capacity, memory, and preferred hardware among other features.
2. Screen and graphics
Your laptop screen is a window into your professional and creative world, so it’s important you take care when choosing the right features for it. For example, you may want a touch display so you can take advantage of the precision of an HP stylus pen, typically sold separately.
HP laptop displays boast high resolutions and a variety of screen sizes. With vivid color ranges and true-to-life image capability, you can breathe life into your artistic projects or simply enjoy the visual high quality that elevates the experience of watching your favorite shows.
3. Processor
Your CPU or central processing unit is integral to the function of your laptop. And HP laptops feature processors such as the Intel Core i3 or Intel Core i7 among others to provide incredible performance without lag or interruption.
Whether you know you want the latest 8th generation processor or the exact processor model unit like the Core i7-9750h, there are capable CPUs available for every budget.
4. RAM
Your RAM is your computer’s short-term memory and the right amount is critical for seamless computing. A robust amount of RAM comes in handy if you do a lot of multi-tasking and don’t want to experience annoying slowdowns or lag. Choose from 4GB of memory to 32GB of memory or more. Remember, it’s a good rule of thumb to err on the side of more RAM for the best computing experience.

5. Storage
Your laptop’s storage acts as the device’s long-term memory. The heftiest storage options might include a choice like a 1TB hard drive. But you can also choose from solid-state drives (SSD) like 128GB SSD to 256GB of SSD.
6. Battery Life
One of the main features you’ll need to keep in mind when you invest in a laptop is ensuring that it boasts enough battery life to keep you going. These days, laptops boast incredible battery life that can be leveraged for all day staying power. For users, that means less time worrying about disrupting your day and less fighting over the last power outlet at the coffee shop.
