The Two Main Reasons Why Buyers Purchase a Laptop are Entertainment and Work
There are many different reasons why someone would buy a laptop. The two most popular reasons are entertainment and work.
The thing about entertainment is that depending on what the owner does with the laptop, there could be a higher spec requirement. Depending on the entertainment form, a laptop can sometimes not handle the demand.
Entertainment in Terms of Watching Movies, Series, and Videos
An example of this is watching movies, series, and videos to playing games. When it comes to watching movies, series, or videos, a good screen is one of the most important specs that buyers should watch out for.
Owners can stream movies and videos online if the screen is functional. However, when it comes to downloading movies and series, storage is another thing that buyers should watch out for.

1080p movies can demand at least a gigabyte to a few gigabytes of memory, so whenever the laptop owner downloads a movie, they should ensure they do not use up most of their laptop's space.
Luckily, one thing buyers can do should they have minimal memory is to purchase more SSD or HDD and upgrade their laptop. This, however, would cost additional, so buyers should be aware of the additional expenses.
When it comes to the other part of entertainment, games, buyers should look out not just for memory but also for RAM capability and compatibility. Most games released their minimum spec requirements, with AAA games usually needing sophisticated computers.
