What do you want, a laptop or a PC
What is you usage: daily usage: like social media and browsing internet.
Or light usage: like reading and writing and simple programming.
Or mid-light usage: like healthcare or medicine or Business or entrepreneurship or anything that require stronger laptops than light usage but doesn’t require that high specifications.
Or mid-heavy: like heavy office work (Managing multiple apps: Excel, Word, Zoom, Chrome (many tabs)Working with large spreadsheets, pivot tables, or macros.
Or heavy: like programmers physicists, mathematicians, engineers apps and machine learning with huge datasets Game development and 3D rendering. Choose one of these.
Choose one of these to know what laptop or PC do you need.
If the answer is daily usage, then you need any PC or laptop with Windows 10, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD NVMe. And it’s price range is : $280 - $310.
If the answer is light usage then,
if you want a laptop, you’ll need a processor that is from intel and at least i3 12th generation because this is the oldest supported generation of intel processors and because it has a qualitative leap from intel 11th generation and older generations. The Suffix better to be P instead of U and the recommended is i3 13th generation processor and the better is i3 N series. Don’t get an i5 or i7 or i9 because if you buy an old one it cannot be completable with the future apps and if you get a new one it is waste of money for your usage. You don’t need a disintegrated graphics card. So, any graphics card that is integrated with the processor is fine. 8 GB RAM at least and the better is 12GB and 16GB, depending on your work and usage. 256 GB SSD NVMe at least and the better is 512GB. More specifications or prices are just waste of money for your usage. Your laptop price is 370 to 400 dollars.
if you want a PC you’ll need a You need an i3 processor, But if you (DON’T you care about it’s One task speed, You need i3 12th generation with no suffix.) or (you need it Normal, You need i3 13th generation with no suffix.) or (you need it High, You need i3 14th generation with no suffix) You don’t need an disintegraded graphics card, so the integraded graphics card with the processor is good for you. 8-16RAM. 256-512 SSD NVMe. Your PC price is 380- 400 USD.
If you want a laptop
if your usage is mid-light then You need a laptop that is mid light laptop with these specifications : Processor(CPU) : Intel i5 12 / 13th generation U / P suffix. If you want better laptop in one task preformance then use i5 13th generation processor. If you want a laptop better in multitasking preformance use i5 P series or if you want it better in both of single and multi tasking then use i5 P series 13th generation. If you want a better laptop in saving energy and cheaper then use i5 U series (this is the least in preformance. Graphics card : any integraded or not integraded graphics card is good for you so don’t buy a graphics card, there is an integraded with the processor. RAM : 8 - 16GB depending on your background apps that you aren’t using them at the moment. Storage : 256 - 512GB depending on your work apps and files storage. More specs are just wasting your money for your usage. Your laptop price is 400 - 550.
if your usage is mid-heavy You need a laptop that has i5 12/13/14th generation because you need an i5 and there is no i5 11th generation processor for laptops and the 10th generation is too old. And H/HX suffix as shown in the order because H suffix processors are desgined for this kind of work not for save energy (this is for U suffix processors) or to be between H and U (this is for P suffix processors) or to give better graphics (this is for G1-7 processors) and H suffix processor means that high preformance processor.If you need a laptop better in: (single task speed, use i5 13th gen H processor) (Multitasking preformance or both of one and multi tasks preformance, use i5 13/14th gen HX sereis) (cheaper, use i5 12th generation H or HX sereis) .If your work is creating photos or videos or audio then you need an disintegraded graphics card, but I don’t know what is it, so this is your task. 8-16GB RAM. And 512 GB - 1TB NVMe SSD.).
