Laptops and computers

A laptop bought for a home office has different priorities to one bought for gaming or school: a keyboard you can type on for hours, a battery that lasts through video calls, and enough power for the software you actually use, without paying for power you don't need. The right pick depends on the work: light browsing and documents need far less machine than video editing or software development. Screen size trades off against portability, and a laptop's ports (or lack of them) decide whether you'll need a dock as well. We look at real work-from-home use cases rather than benchmark scores alone, comparing laptops on typing comfort, battery life, weight and how well they pair with a second monitor, so the guide reflects how the machine will actually be used at a desk every day.
