Answer first: Choose a laptop by use case first, then set a KSh budget, then lock CPU generation, RAM, SSD and condition (new vs certified ex-UK). Ignore vague words like “fast” without numbers.
1. Name the job
Student, programming, business, design or gaming. Each path has a collection page on this site.
2. Understand the four numbers
- Processor (CPU): the brain. Higher generation Core i5 usually beats older Core i7 for efficiency tasks, but check the full name.
- RAM: working memory. 8GB baseline, 16GB comfortable.
- Storage: prefer SSD over HDD for snappy everyday use.
- Screen: Full HD (1920×1080) is the modern floor for clear text.
3. Decide condition honestly
Read new vs certified ex-UK before you pay a “too good” price.
Use-case to spec table
| Use case | CPU | RAM | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic browsing | i3+ | 8GB | 256GB SSD |
| Student | i3/i5 | 8GB | 256-512GB SSD |
| Programming | i5/i7 | 16GB | 512GB SSD |
| Business | i5/i7 | 8-16GB | 256-512GB SSD |
| Graphic design | i5/i7/M1 | 16GB | 512GB SSD |
| Gaming | H-series / Ryzen | 16GB | 512GB SSD + GPU |
