How to choose a home and study laptop
Screen size and resolution. Our range includes 14, 15.3, 15.6, 16, 17.3 and 18-inch screens. A 14-inch model is easier to carry to school or lectures, while 16 and 17.3-inch screens are more comfortable if the laptop mostly stays on a desk. Many models offer 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) or 1920 x 1080 (Full HD), and the 16:10 shape of WUXGA shows more lines of text.
Processor and RAM. An Intel Core 5, Intel Core 7, Intel Core Ultra 5 or AMD Ryzen 5 class processor is enough for everyday work. Aim for at least 16 GB of RAM if you keep many browser tabs and programs open at once. 8 GB suits only lighter use.
Storage. Many models have 512 GB of storage, some have 1 TB, and a few have 256 GB or 2 TB. 512 GB covers the system, programs and study files. Choose 1 TB if you will keep photos, videos or games.
Graphics. Many models rely on the processor's integrated graphics, which is enough for study, office programs and video. A separate graphics card, such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 or RTX 5060, appears in only a few models. It is worth choosing if you plan to game or edit video.
Operating system. Windows 11 Home is the most frequent, some models come with Windows 11 Pro or Ubuntu Linux, and a few have no system installed. Windows 11 Pro helps if the laptop must join a company or school network with central management. With no system installed, you will need to install one yourself.

Frequently asked questions
How much RAM does a study laptop need?
16 GB of RAM suits most pupils and students. It handles a browser with many tabs, a word processor, video calls and learning software together. 8 GB can feel tight when you run many programs at once.
What screen size is best for a pupil or student?
If you carry the laptop every day, choose a 14 or 15.6-inch screen. 16 and 17.3-inch models are more comfortable at a desk because more content fits on screen, but they are larger and heavier.
Does a study laptop need a separate graphics card?
No, integrated graphics is enough for study, office programs and watching video. A separate graphics card helps with gaming, 3D design and video editing. Models with one are fewer in our range.
Is Windows 11 Home enough for home use?
Yes, Windows 11 Home covers browsing, study, office programs and entertainment. Windows 11 Pro is worth choosing only if you must connect to a managed company or school network or need extra security features.
