Don't Buy laptops

 


Which? Don't Buy laptops

Don't Buy laptops can be tricky to spot - they often feature poor battery life, a poor display, and run slow with lots of lag. Thankfully, this is where we come in. Our independent lab tests uncover the Don't Buy laptops you should avoid.

Buying a terrible laptop will leave you tearing your hair out at its painfully slow processor, drab screen and awkward keyboard.

  • What makes a Don't Buy laptop?

    If you've ever spent minutes waiting for your computer to load up a simple web browser, you'll already know how frustrating a rubbish laptop can be. But it doesn't stop there. Don't Buy models may have touchpads that are so erratic you have to take a few goes to select what you want, and screens that make even the most exciting blockbusters appear as dull as dishwater.

    Marketing bumf and promises of deals can easily make a poor laptop look like a tempting bargain. But even if you don't want to spend big, you can still pick a great model. We've discovered sub-£300 PCs that are speedy to use and can easily handle multiple tasks at once. If you buy a laptop that we score highly, you can be confident that it won't let you down.

    While most Don't Buy laptops will receive the label due to a poor showing in our test lab, others may be highlighted as they are subject to a safety alert. If you see one of our laptop reviews where the model scores over 45% but is still a Don't Buy, then chances are it will be due to a product recall based on the potential to cause serious harm.
