Types of Laptops 

Not all laptops are built the same. So, the type of laptop that's right for you will depend on what you're planning to use it. Don't know where to begin? Here's a quick overview of the most popular laptop types to help narrow down your search: 

 

Traditional Laptops 

The standard clamshell laptop design covers most everyday needs well including browsing, streaming, working from home, managing documents and video calls. Traditional laptops are generally the most affordable option and are available across a wide range of specs and screen sizes. If you want a dependable machine for general use without overcomplicating the decision, a traditional laptop is the place to start. 

 2-in-1 Laptops 

A 2-in-1 laptop combines a touchscreen display with a detachable or fold-back keyboard, letting you switch between laptop and tablet mode depending on your needs. They're a solid pick for students who take notes by hand or anyone who wants the flexibility of a tablet without sacrificing a proper keyboard for longer or more intensive tasks. 

 

Gaming Laptops 

Gaming laptops are built around a dedicated GPU and a higher-performance processor, which gives them the power to handle graphically demanding games without the lag you'd see on a standard machine. Most gaming laptops also feature higher-refresh-rate displays of 120Hz or above and powerful cooling systems to manage heat during long sessions. They work well as general-use laptops too and the extra power isn't wasted when you're not gaming! 

 

Key Laptop Specifications 

All of the acronyms and laptop specs can feel overwhelming, but a few key numbers will give you most of the information you need to choose a new laptop: 

 

  • Processor (CPU): Handles everything your laptop runs. A Core Ultra 5 or Ryzen 5 covers everyday tasks comfortably or increase to a Core Ultra 7 or Ryzen 7 CPU if you're editing video, gaming or running demanding software. 
  • Memory (RAM): Determines how smoothly your laptop handles open tabs and applications. 8GB is the minimum laptop RAM for general use and 16GB is the more practical standard for most households. While 32GB RAM is worth considering for content creators or those running demanding software. 
  • Storage (SSD): Almost all laptops today use SSD storage, which starts up faster and is more durable than a traditional hard drive. 256GB of storage is the entry point if you rely on cloud storage, while 512GB is the more comfortable everyday allowance and 1TB of laptop storage suits anyone working with larger files. 
  • Graphics (GPU): Most everyday laptops use integrated graphics, which handles general use, streaming and video calls without any issues. A dedicated GPU is what separates a gaming laptop from a standard machine laptop, NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4050 is a solid entry point for gaming at 1080p, while the RTX 4070 suited to higher resolutions and more demanding games. 

 

How To Choose A Laptop Screen Size 

 

The screen size and resolution affect how comfortable a laptop is to use day to day. Again, the right choice depends on how and where you'll be using it, so consider where and when you plan to use your laptop. From working remotely from home each day to an on-the-go solution, it's important to find a laptop that will complement your lifestyle.  

 

Here are some of the most popular laptop screen sizes in Australia: 

  • 13–14 inch laptops: The most portable option and light enough to carry all day. A good fit for students and commuters who prioritise mobility over screen real estate. 
  • 15–16 inch laptops: The most common all-rounder laptop size, balancing portability with enough screen space for comfortable everyday use. 
  • 17 inch laptops: Best suited for those who work mostly at a desk and want a larger display without a separate monitor. Less practical to carry regularly. 

 

Finding The Right Laptop Resolution 

On resolution, most laptops today ship with a Full HD (1920x1080) display as standard, which is sharp enough for general use. A QHD (2560x1440) or OLED panel is worth considering if display quality matters to you, particularly for photo editing, design work or anyone who spends long hours in front of a screen.

Frequently asked questions
How much RAM do I need in a laptop?

For general everyday use, browsing, email, streaming and documents,8GB of RAM is workable, though 16GB gives more headroom for multitasking and future-proofs the machine for longer. Editing video or running demanding software benefits from 16GB or more.
What is the difference between a gaming laptop and a regular laptop?

Gaming laptops include a dedicated graphics card (GPU) separate from the processor, which is what makes them capable of running graphically intensive games smoothly. Standard laptops use integrated graphics, which share resources with the processor and are better suited to everyday tasks than gaming.
Is a 2-in-1 laptop worth it for students?

A 2-in-1 is a practical choice for students who want to take handwritten notes on a touchscreen during lectures and switch to a keyboard for assignments and research. The trade-off is that 2-in-1s at the same price point may offer slightly less processing power than a standard laptop.
What is the difference between a laptop and a notebook computer?

Notebook computers are a thinner, lighter version of a laptops, optimised for portability with smaller screens and longer battery life. The terms are used interchangeably in most retail contexts, but technically a notebook prioritises portability while a laptop is a broader term that also covers larger, more powerful machines like gaming laptops.
How do I care for and maintain my laptop?

Keep vents unobstructed, clean the screen with a microfibre cloth and use a carry case when transporting it. On the software side, keep the operating system updated, run antivirus software and restart periodically rather than leaving it in sleep mode. To preserve the battery life, avoid leaving the laptop plugged in.
