Recommended laptop specifications
Processor
The right processor keeps everything running smoothly. Processors like Intel® Core™ 5 or Core™ Ultra 7, AMD Ryzen™ AI 5 or 7, or Snapdragon® X Series deliver the speed and efficiency you need.
RAM
RAM is your PC's working memory and it keeps everything running smoothly while you use it. For browsing, streaming and video calls without interruption, look for at least 8 GB to 16 GB.
Storage
Storage is where everything lives, like your photos, documents, downloads, and more. Look for 128 GB to 512 GB if you like to save a lot of files. If you store photos and files in the cloud, you may need less.
Display resolution
Resolution determines how sharp and detailed everything looks on your screen. FHD displays provide extra clarity and richer visuals for browsing, streaming and video calls.

Yes. Windows 11 includes AI features that can help with everyday tasks like creating, searching, editing, communicating and staying organised. Depending on your device and setup, that can include experiences like Copilot, AI-powered tools in apps like Snipping Tool and smarter help across parts of Windows such as Start. Some features may require certain hardware, updates, or apps and may vary by market.
In Windows, local AI means AI experiences that can run directly on your device instead of relying only on the cloud. Running more demanding AI workloads locally requires a Windows PC with compatible AI hardware, such as a powerful NPU or GPU. Local AI can help deliver faster responses and keep more processing on your device. Experiences vary depending on the feature and PC you’re using.
