Looking for a new laptop to help organise your life and manage clients better?

Well we got the tech experts from our IT department to help us find what the best laptop for personal trainers are.

Check out our list of the top recommended laptops below...

What To Look For In A Laptop

When it comes to looking for a laptop for your personal training business you will need to consider a few things. These include things like how fast a laptop is, how much storage does it have, can it multitask efficiently, what size you would like and what the budget is.

We have tried to provide the best laptops at various price points so you can see what options you have.

Performance vs Cost

Obviously we would like to have the fastest PC available but keep in mind that the higher performance laptops also carry a higher price tag. When referring to how fast a laptop is we will generally talk about what model of CPU it has, amount of RAM and whether the computer has a mechanical hard drive or solid state.

You will want to look for a laptop that features an i5 processor and at least 4gb of RAM. This will ensure that you are able to run most software efficiently. You would also see more speed if you chose a laptop with a solid state drive.

Screen Size And Design

This will mostly be down to personal preference. If you are looking for something more portable you will maybe look for a 13inch laptop and if you were looking for something with more screen real-estate to work more efficiently you'd go with a 17inch. In the middle is the 15inch laptop which tries to incorporate both ideas. Ultimately the choice is up to you.
