2026 Buyer's Essentials

01. AI Performance
Verify NPU scores above 40 TOPS if you plan to use local AI models or official Copilot+ features.
02. Memory Standard
Never settle for 8GB. In 2026, 16GB DDR5 is the bare minimum for a lag-free Windows 11 experience.
03. Panel Quality
Prioritize OLED for media or IPS (100% sRGB) for work. Avoid low-quality TN panels at all costs.
