Buyers Guide

This buyers guide should help you find a laptop that fits your needs according to your settings. The results are generated automatically from our database with several thousand reviews (our own and external reviews of other magazines). You may either use simple text questions or the more complicated matrix to get weighted results. Both combined at the same time is not possible. Note that the result is only a proposal which laptops may suit your requirements. They are no editorially checked recommendations. After a search, the selected questions are adopted in the matrix. That does not work vice versa.
