What to buy?
If your use mostly notes, browsing and video calls: aim for an Intel i3 or Ryzen 3 with 8GB RAM. If you code, design, or run heavy apps, don’t settle for anything below Ryzen 5 or Intel i5 with 16GB RAM. MacBook Air is ideal if you're in the Apple ecosystem or want longer battery life. Amazon Prime Day ends tonight, and most of these laptop deals will disappear with it. If you’re a student: or shopping for one: this is your moment to buy smart.
