How to choose a laptop in South Africa
The right laptop depends on what you use it for and how long you want it to last. These are the main decisions, with links to our detailed guides.
Start with how you will use it
For browsing, email, documents and video calls, a modern Core i3/i5 or Ryzen 3/5 with 8GB RAM and an SSD is plenty. Students and remote workers benefit from 16GB RAM and a long-life battery. Design, video editing and gaming need a stronger processor, 16GB or more RAM and a dedicated graphics card.
The specs that matter most
An SSD matters more for day-to-day speed than a faster processor. Aim for at least 256GB, and 512GB if you store lots of files. 8GB RAM is the minimum we recommend today. Check screen resolution (Full HD or better), weight if you travel, and battery size if you work away from a plug.
New or refurbished
New laptops carry the full manufacturer warranty. Certified refurbished business laptops from Dell, HP and Lenovo are typically 30–50% cheaper than new and are tested by our technicians and sold with a store warranty. For most office and study use, a refurbished business laptop is the best value.
Paying and after-sales
We offer payment plans, rentals for short or long-term business use, a trade-in option, nationwide delivery and in-house repairs, so support does not end after the sale.
