15 Inch Laptops in UK 

15.6-Inch vs 14-Inch vs 16-Inch Laptops 

Is a 15.6-Inch Laptop Right for You? 

It is a good fit if you 

• work mostly at a desk, or move between a few rooms 

• spend long hours in spreadsheets, documents or email and want more on screen 

• want a full-size keyboard (many laptops at this size include a numeric keypad, so check the listing) 

• share the laptop at home or in a small office 

Think twice if you 

• carry your laptop to work or university every day: a 14-inch model is easier on your shoulders 

• travel often and need something compact 

• need the biggest possible screen: look at 16-inch instead 

What to Check on a 15.6-Inch Listing 

The screen size is the same across this page, so the differences are in the details: 

• Windows edition: Home suits personal and study use, Pro adds business features such as BitLocker and Remote Desktop. A few listings do not state the edition, so check before you order. 

• Display: some listings state Full HD, others only the size. Compare before choosing. 

• Keypad and ports: check each listing for the numeric keypad and the ports you need. 

• Memory and storage: listings range from 8GB to 32GB RAM and from 256GB to 1TB SSD.
