The prompt

Help me decide what laptop specs I need before I buy, so I don't overpay or underbuy. Budget: [amount] What I'll do on it: [e.g. college work and Netflix / coding / video editing / light gaming / office Excel] Portability: [carry daily / mostly on a desk] OS preference: [Windows / macOS / ChromeOS / no preference] Must-haves: [e.g. good keyboard, long battery, backlit keys, 16 GB RAM] Give me: 1. The minimum and the comfortable spec for my use: processor class, RAM, storage type and size, screen, graphics, battery, weight. 2. What's worth paying more for, and what's not, for my use. 3. A checklist to use in the shop or on a product page: ports, warranty, service centres near me, upgradeable RAM or SSD. 4. Red flags: HDD storage, very low-brightness screens, soldered 8 GB RAM if I need more. Don't name specific models or prices you can't verify; teach me how to compare the ones I find. If I paste 2-3 models, compare them against my needs in a table.
