About the School

For you who are looking for something portable to have with you every day at school but can also handle more demanding tasks.

Size

Prefer something between 13.3” to 14.5”, depending on the screen size you need, so that it can be easily transported.

Skroutz Tip: You can find models that have touch pens for quick notes everywhere and anytime.

Processor & RAM

These two contribute significantly to how fast the laptop can perform multiple tasks simultaneously. There are 2 options for processors. The AMD Ryzen and the Intel Core, while there is a plethora of manufacturers for RAM.

• If your needs are simple, such as running Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, a Core i5 or Ryzen 5 processor, along with 8GB RAM will do the job
• If, on the other hand, you need more power and speed because you want to run engineering programs or video editing, prefer Core i7 or Ryzen 7, along with 16GB RAM.

Graphics Card

If the tasks you want to perform have nothing to do with video editing or graphics, then there is no need to get a laptop with a dedicated graphics card.

However, if you are involved in video editing or image, you need to invest in a machine with a powerful GPU.

The two main brands are Nvidia with the GeForce RTX series and AMD with Radeon RX. If you have a limited budget, an RTX 3070 or 3080 will be more than satisfactory, otherwise, you can prefer an AMD Radeon RX 6600. If you want something more premium, then it is worth investing in the latest generation, such as the GeForce RTX 4070, 4080, or 4090 or Radeon RX 7600, 7700, or 7900.

Storage Space

If you want to do video editing and manage very large files, prefer 1TB or even 2TB.

From there on, you can get an external SSD if you need extra storage space.

If there is no need for large files, a capacity of 256GB or 512GB is sufficient.
