    Frequently asked questions

    How much RAM do I need for work and productivity on a budget laptop?

    For email, documents, browsing and video calls, 8 GB is a practical minimum. If you regularly keep many browser tabs or office apps open, look for 16 GB where the configuration and budget allow.

    Is integrated graphics enough for office work and video calls?

    Yes. Integrated graphics in entry-level laptop processors are generally suitable for spreadsheets, presentations, streaming and video meetings, but not demanding 3D work or modern games.

    What battery life should I expect from a laptop for work in Portugal?

    Battery life varies with screen brightness, workload and configuration, so treat manufacturer figures as best-case estimates. Look for independent tests and plan for less runtime during video calls or intensive multitasking.

    Which ports should a work laptop have for office use?

    USB-A is useful for common accessories, while USB-C can support newer devices and charging on some models. HDMI is handy for connecting an external monitor or projector; check the exact port specifications before buying.
