Laptop Picker Canada Instructions

This laptop selection tool doesn’t just help you pick a laptop, it also helps you get the best deal on laptops available in Canada. By filtering the laptops, you can narrow down from all of the available models and choose the right laptop for you.

How is this different than searching for a laptop in Canada on a store website?

On most store websites, you can filter by certain categories – such as a range for price, for storage available, etc. The problem with doing all of your laptop selection on a specific website like BestBuy Canada or Amazon Canada is that you don’t get a full picture of what’s available.

In compiling all of this data for the laptop picker Canada, we found that certain versions of a laptop will be available on one website, while on another website they’ll have a different amount of RAM, or a different processor selection.

It becomes quite a task to try and select a laptop from 5 different websites, and then trying to compare the prices, and this laptop selection tool does it all for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are expensive laptops worth it?

Or should you choose a cheap laptop? If you require impressive computing power for a specific task (like video editing or AutoCAD), or a super lightweight package, then you’ll need to pay more to get everything you need in a laptop. However, typically a $500-$800 laptop will provide all of the computing power and battery life that a casual user, student, and some employees will need.

What's more important - laptop RAM size or processor speed?

They work together – a slow processor will still be slow even if you add more RAM, and a fast processor will run faster, but without enough RAM, it will limit its ability.
To get the best laptop for performance, you’ll want at least 8GB of RAM, and a fast processor with multiple cores.

What's a good speed for a laptop processor?

If this is a laptop for a child to use for Google Classroom, or for you to browse the web and watch Netflix, then all modern day laptops can handle those tasks.
If you are looking for the best laptop for video editing, or for running large programs or games, you will want a faster processor speed. Current processor speeds can often get above 3 GHz, but expect to pay more for the speed. Use the Laptop Picker Canada above to filter by processor speed and compare laptops prices in Canada.

How often should you buy a new laptop?

Laptops can last years, so don’t expect to replace a new laptop in less than 4 years. If you buy a top of the line laptop now, it can last up to 6 years before it really becomes outdated. If you decide to buy a basic, entry level laptop, and perhaps last years model to save some money, then it could need to be replaced in as little as 3 years.

What causes a laptop to need replacing?

If you physically damage your laptop, or if your laptop becomes damaged (such as a screen malfunction, or a hard drive that stops working), then you can often have it fixed or repaired.
The biggest factor causing a laptop to be replaced is new programs that won’t work on your older laptop. In that case, the only way to run a new program (or a new version of an operating system), is to buy a new laptop. Use the Laptop Picker Canada above to help find a laptop at a great price.
