Laptop advice

Hi! I’m Lexi, and Chi is my firm for Primary Education with QTS
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations into Laptops that would be best for uni life in general, but particularly the demands of this course.
Thank you!

Hi, Lexi!

I don't reckon you'll be a heavy user such as playing games or doing programming as your mentioned course. So, these are the specifications you can consider whilst buying a new laptop -

Screen Size: Minimum 12 inches or over. (Depends on preferability).
Display Quality: OLED or QLED or mini-LED if feasible. Otherwise, LCD.
Display Resolution: Minimum FHD+ (1920*1080) or QHD+ or 2K or 4K UHD (3840 x 2160). (Higher resolution offers a more vibrant and quality view).
Central Processing Unit (CPU): For Windows OS - Minimum 11th Gen or 12th Gen - Minimum Intel Core i5 or i7 or i9/AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 Series. For MacOS - Minimum M1 or M2. (Higher series is better but depends on affordability and preferability).
Graphics Card: If feasible, Intel Iris XE or Nvidia 30-series such as 3060 or over. Otherwise, AMD Radeon 5000 series or more.
Random Access Memory (RAM): Minimum 8 GB or more.
Storage: Solid State Drive (SSD) - Minimum 256 GB or more. Hard Disk Drive (HDD) if needed.
Memory Card Reader: Yes. (If needed).
Headphone Port: Yes.
HDMI Port: Yes.
USB Port: Yes.
Operating System: Windows 11 Home for personal usage or MacOS.
Connectivity: WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2.

Hope it helps!
