Computer hardware is constantly changing, but it’s not entirely unpredictable. There are often distinct trends, and today’s laptop market is no different.

Not sure where to start? You should read our “2011 Laptop Buying Guide”, from MakeUseOf writer Matt Smith. This guide lets you know what specs matter on a modern computer, which brands to look out for and more.
