More than any year I can remember before it, 2024 has given rise to a mass of laptop choices. That's a potentially great thing if you're a student looking to buy the best laptop for your return to school, college or university – but I can also see how so much choice can quickly get confusing too.
While the general equation used to be "Windows or Mac?", things have expanded this year because Apple no longer uses Intel's chips in its best MacBook options, while Windows laptops from all manner of manufacturers can now be powered by Intel, AMD or Qualcomm chips – with different considerations in which you might want to buy and why.
