There are two kinds of people who come to buy laptops. π
The first person says:
βPadi, I need a laptop for this and this. My budget is between β¦300k and β¦400k.β
Easy. We know what we're looking for.
Then there is the second person. π
βI need something for Canva, video editing, graphics, gaming, coding, freelancing, Zoom, business, Photoshop, maybe 3D designβ¦β
Okay. No problem.
βWhat's your budget?β
ββ¦200k.β
πππ
And usually this set of people want the Bugatti of laptops at that 2OOk.
It's true that you could have a lot of things you want to do with a laptop but it's important to know when it requires a completely different kind of laptop.
Browsing?
Microsoft Office?
Zoom meetings?
Canva?
No wahala.
But when you add heavy video editing, 3D Design, games,
Then you'll have to look for a completely different specs.
So when you say you want something powerful, know that it varies based on what you do
Because the laptop that is perfect for one person may be completely wrong for another.
And you don't necessarily need the laptop with the biggest specifications.
You need one that can comfortably handle the work you actually want to doβ¦
without making your pocket cry. π
This is how we like to approach laptop recommendations here.
Tell us what you're trying to do.
Tell us your budget.
Then let's look at what makes sense.
Sometimes we'll tell you, βYes, this will work.βSometimes we'll say, βYou'll need something stronger.β
What we want is to help you get value for your monèy or in some cases, save your money.
Because getting you the right laptop is more important than simply getting you to buy a laptop.
Now let's hear from you
If you got a laptop today, what are the FIRST 3 things you'd want it to do?
Don't think too much.
Just tell me. ππ½
