Guys, I'm planning to buy a laptop on a budget, but I'm not sure what to look for. Is performance more important, the screen, or battery life? Generally, what should I focus on so I can get something that lasts a long time? What do you guys pay attention to? I'd really appreciate some guidance 😅
What should I look for when buying a budget-friendly laptop?

So, first question: what are you focusing on? Let’s assume you’re not strictly limited by budget and you’re looking at something up to €1500. With that money you have to balance performance and durability. For example, if you get a laptop with an RGB screen you might have to cut back on the GPU. Honestly, what’s your real need here? Are you gaming, doing design work, or just escaping chores to binge Netflix? Explain how critical performance and the display are for you so our recommendation can be spot‑on.
There’s another point: battery life. That completely depends on how mobile you are. If you’re constantly traveling or wandering around campus, being tethered to a laptop that lasts under four hours is a pain. Since you said you want long‑term use, be sure to also check out models with six‑hour‑plus battery life.
