Manufacturers are racing to be the first in new designs and capabilities so they can capture the hearts of consumers. Whether you use a computer for office-purpose or gaming &#8212; there is a perfect computer out there for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brands have been in this game for so long, that they already know what we want and need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re in the market for your next computer, the holiday season is the perfect time to score the best deals on your next machine. Holiday shopping isn\u2019t all about small gifts now &#8212; it\u2019s about time we treat ourselves (or our loved ones) to a new shiny gadget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re not going to bombard you with sponsored brands and models of computers that came out this year. In this article, we\u2019ll list the best computers based on what type of user you are. A gamer, a casual user, or a professional? We have a computer recommendation for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to score your next computer? Read below and take your pick:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><b>MacBook Air<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first one in Apple\u2019s line of computers to run without Intel, the MacBook Air M1 hits the sweet spot from every possible angle. From its known portability because of how light it is compared to the MacBook Pro and non-Apple computers, it\u2019s also one of Apple\u2019s most popular laptop models.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to other Macs, the Macbook Air is not expensive. It\u2019s light, has many features, and is easy to use. You\u2019ll see students use MacBook Airs often because they can take it anywhere without breaking their backs and banks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, we know you\u2019d love to know the techy stuff about the Air M1. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/kb\/SP825?locale=en_PH\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for all the technical specifications you could want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking to buy the MacBook Air M1? Weigh your needs first. What will you be using it for? Do you do photo and video editing often, are you planning to use it for gaming?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you answered those two questions with a yes, then you\u2019re better off with a MacBook Pro or a Windows gaming laptop since both can better handle those tasks.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><b>ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interested in a computer for gaming? Let\u2019s look at the computer that\u2019s best capable of running the latest titles.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good example of a modern title is Ubisoft\u2019s action-adventure first-person shooter, Far Cry 6. It\u2019s a hardware-demanding game and, as a gamer, I know you\u2019d want nothing but the smoothest gaming experience. Especially with a title that\u2019s as immersive as Far Cry 6.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why ASUS\u2019 ROG Zephyrus G15 would be the perfect computer option for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its base model is powered by the RTX 3050 GPU (exclusive to laptops) with the Ryzen 9 5900HS the processor.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a base processing speed of 3.1 GHz, you\u2019ll have enough juice to launch your games faster and keep up with fast-paced titles like Riot Games\u2019 first-person shooter Valorant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, a beefy GPU and a fast processor are nothing without a top-of-the-line display panel. With the Zephyrus G15, you get a 15.6-inch 1440p display.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you play a lot of first-person games, you\u2019ll be satisfied with the display\u2019s 165Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Worried about colors and sync? The display panel is IPS and AMD FreeSync-enabled. No dead colors and screen-tearing. Only the best gaming experience possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is this laptop only for gaming? No, it can be used for a wide variety of tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s powerful enough to run hardware-demanding software used in photo and video editing, so you can\u2019t go wrong with the Zephyrus G15.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><b>MacBook Pro<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are we talking high-end photo and video editing? We can\u2019t forget 2021\u2019s MacBook Pro.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple\u2019s October event introduced the remodeled MacBook Pro. The 2021 line added the 13-inch Pros to the MacBooks family.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The base model, MacBook Pro 13\u201d, still has the M1 chip from the Air M1. The processor revamps start when you look at the 14\u201d and 16\u201d models. They\u2019re powered by the upgraded M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, which sports up to 10 cores of processing power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to graphics, the new Apple chips boast up to 32 cores of display processing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since storage is a big factor for photo and video editors, we\u2019d like to highlight that the maximum configurable storage for these new MacBook Pros goes up to 8TB. Depending on the usual size of your work, this might be enough. If not, an external storage drive is always an option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the upgrades on hardware, the new MacBook Pros remain light. The base model weighs 1.4kg. The heaviest is the 16\u201d model, which weighs 2.1kg.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><b>Dell XPS 13 2-in-1<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there\u2019s anything I\u2019ve learned in technology, it\u2019s that brands will find a way to combine things that make consumers happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember when tablets became popular? Today some of them are powerful enough to function like computers, but not so much that they can replace computers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s how 2-in-1s came to be. Just a few years back we couldn\u2019t imagine folding a laptop backwards without breaking it. Today, laptop screens can be rotated 180 degrees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re into the quirky features 2-in-1s have, Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 is a great pick. It\u2019s powered by an 11th Generation Intel Core i5 CPU and an Intel Iris Xe GPU. The processor is good enough to handle day-to-day office tasks and browsing, but when you want to play modern titles using this 2-in-1, you won\u2019t have an ideal gaming experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to the XPS 13\u2019s display, you get a 13.4-inch touch panel. Unlike traditional laptops, its display can be used in a variety of ways. Turn and spin (carefully) to your comfort and you can rely on it to keep working when you do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storage-wise, it has a PCIe NVMe SSD. SSDs are known to be faster than HDDs by a mile. And being in a PCIe lane with NVMe further shoots this convertible laptop\u2019s storage speed ahead of HDDs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weight is a big factor for laptop fans. To guide you, this one weighs 1.32kg. A pretty common weight for modern Windows laptops.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Takeaways<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on what you want a laptop for, you\u2019ll be better off with a MacBook or a Dell laptop. It all really depends on what you\u2019re planning to use the laptop for.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re not the best when it comes to computers, sales representatives at computer stores will be more than glad to assist you with finding the best computer for you.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just tell them what you intend to use the computer you\u2019re looking for and they\u2019ll be ready with suggestions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever your choice ends up being, we wish you happy holiday shopping!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year, we get thinner, more powerful, and of course, more expensive computers.
