What should i look for in a laptop?

Hey

I wanna buy a new laptop but I know NOTHING about them. I've seen i3 i5 etc on them and apparently this is a processor. I don't know what a processor is but what number should I buy or does it not matter? How many GB should I get as well?

I don't want to spend a lot really - I'm on a tight budget so if anyone has any suggestions of a decent laptop or where is a good place to buy then I'd appreciate it tbh.

thanks! :smile:

Let us know what sort of budget you're looking at and we'll give you an idea of the sort of things you should look for in that price bracket :cute:
Also, what are your main uses for the laptop?

A few to pick from there, generally you'll get what you pay for in terms of how good it is but they're all decent.
