You remember that one scene in Fast and Furious where Brian O'Conner picks his car? For those of you who don’t care about cars—sorry, my autism gets the better of me sometimes. But hear me out: picking your laptop is a bit like that. Choose the wrong one, and it will make your life hell.
While God only splashed me with the tism, he absolutely slapped me in the face with ADHD. (Hang on, I’m going somewhere with this.) I picked the wrong laptop once and it messed me up big time—editing videos? CRASH. Coding? CRASH. Lost my flow every single time.
So I’m here to make sure you don’t make the same mistake. Let’s get started.
💰 Got Cash to Splash? Go Mac. 🍏
If you’ve got the budget and you’re already an iPhone user, get a MacBook.
- 16GB of RAM minimum
- M4 chip if you can afford it
- Transferring files from your phone to laptop? Smooth as butter.
As a lifelong Windows user who switched to Mac: I’d never go back.
Just make sure you get one with an Apple Silicon chip (M1, M2, M3, M4)—not Intel.
💻 For the Rest of Us: What to Look For (with Borat) 🎭
Not everyone has Apple money, so here’s what actually matters. I invited my good friend ChatGPT to explain these basics—but for some reason, he’s dressed as Borat today. Don’t ask.
🧠 RAM
Borat says:
"RAM is like memory in your sexytime brain. If you have little, you forget very quick! You want 16GB, very nice! If you do big work like engineer man, you get more RAM. If you get tiny RAM, you cry like little girl when computer make boom-boom crash."
⚡ CPU
Borat says:
"CPU is like muscle of computer. You want strong man, not weakling. Look for 6 or 8 core, and speed of 2.5 to 4.5 giggle-hurts. More giggle-hurts mean computer do many sexy things fast. If you buy slow CPU, you wait long time like when my wife make soup."
💾 Storage
Borat says:
"Memory for file is important, yes? Cloud storage is like having mistress—you keep copy of everything. Student get free cloud, use it or you cry when laptop go bye-bye. Local storage? 500 giggle-bytes to 1 terabyte is nice for apps and big movie of Pamela."
📏 Screen Size
Borat says:
"Size matter! 15 inch or more—very nice. If you get little screen, you squint like goat looking at sun. Big screen make eye happy, make study sexytime."
✅ Final Thoughts
If you can afford a Mac and still don’t want one… behave. There’s a reason Apple is a trillion-dollar company. But honestly, get what works best for you and your course.
