Windows laptops offer more variety in price and hardware specs. MacBooks generally offer better battery life, build quality, and Apple ecosystem integration. For gaming, Windows is dominant. For creative work or if you're already in the Apple ecosystem, a Mac may suit better. Consider your software requirements first.

For basic use (web, email, Office): 8GB is sufficient. For multitasking, light photo editing, or running virtual machines: 16GB is recommended. For video editing, 3D rendering, or heavy development workloads: 32GB or more. Note that some laptops have soldered RAM and cannot be upgraded later.

SSDs (Solid State Drives) are significantly faster, more durable (no moving parts), quieter, and more energy efficient than HDDs. The price difference has narrowed considerably. We strongly recommend choosing an SSD for your primary drive. HDDs are still cost-effective for bulk external storage.
