Laptops FAQs

What is the difference between a Chromebook and a Windows laptop?

Chromebooks run ChromeOS and focus on web and cloud apps, while Windows laptops run a wider range of desktop software. Check that the apps you need are supported before you buy.

Is a business laptop different from a regular laptop?

Business models often add security and management features and more ports on selected models. Check the product specifications for the features each model includes.

Do I need a gaming laptop for photo or video editing?

Not always, but dedicated graphics can help with demanding creative apps. A MacBook Pro or a well-specified Windows laptop may also suit, depending on your software.

How much memory and storage should I get?

It depends on your workload. Light browsing and documents need less than editing or gaming. Compare the configuration in each product name and allow room for future files.

Are refurbished laptops covered by warranty?

Warranty on refurbished and open box items varies, so check the condition grade and warranty shown on each product page.
