Frequently Asked Questions
How much RAM do I actually need?
If you’re unsure, choose 16GB, it’s the safest default for most UK buyers. For a full breakdown of 8GB vs 16GB vs 32GB, see our complete RAM guide.
Does the quiz consider laptops that are currently out of stock?
No, the results only show what’s genuinely available right now. If a strong match happens to be temporarily out of stock, our email follow-up will let you know when it’s expected back, rather than showing you something you can’t actually buy.
What's the real difference between a £400 laptop and an £800 laptop?
Mainly processor performance, build quality, and security features. See our full price-tier breakdown for exactly what to expect at each budget.
Do I need Windows 11 Pro, or is Home enough?
Home covers most personal and student use; Pro is worth it for business networks or BitLocker encryption. See our Windows 11 laptops page for the full comparison.
Should I choose a laptop based on brand, or on specs?
Specs matter more than brand for day-to-day performance, a 16GB laptop from one brand won’t feel meaningfully different from another brand’s 16GB laptop doing the same task. Brand differences show up more in build quality, keyboard feel, and after-sales support, which is why we ask about brand preference separately from specs in this quiz.
How long should a new laptop last before I need to replace it?
With 16GB RAM and an SSD, most laptops comfortably handle 4-5 years of everyday or business use before feeling genuinely slow. 8GB configurations tend to show their age sooner, often within 2-3 years, as software demands grow.
