A laptop is a 3 to 5 year purchase. Check these six points before paying.
1. Processor
Intel Core Ultra, AMD Ryzen, Apple M-series or Snapdragon X. For office work, Core i5/Ryzen 5 class or better is enough. Video editing and gaming need higher tiers.
2. RAM and storage
- 16GB RAM is the practical minimum today; 8GB slows down with many browser tabs.
- 512GB SSD minimum. Check if RAM is soldered (cannot upgrade later).
3. Display
Full HD is fine for office use. Look for IPS or OLED panels and 300+ nits brightness for bright UAE offices.
4. Battery and weight
Real-world battery is lower than the claimed figure. For travel pick under 1.5 kg.
5. Ports and connectivity
USB-C with charging, HDMI for projectors, Wi-Fi 6E or 7.
6. Warranty and VAT invoice
Confirm local UAE warranty, not just international. Businesses need a VAT invoice for input tax claims.
