Your budget is $1,000.00.
The notebook size you're evaluating is 14" or 15".
You’re looking for an unspecified screen resolution at this stage.
You prefer a portable laptop rather than a desktop replacement.
A battery life of 12 hours is required.
You do not wish to play games on your laptop unless specified.
If yes, please list the desired games along with their preferred settings (Low, Medium or High).
No.
You require additional functions such as photo/video editing, internet use, and word processing. The device must support 6GHz Wi-Fi. You also need a laptop with USB Type C and Type A ports, plus an SD card slot.
Your storage needs are unclear. You’re considering SSDs instead of traditional hard drives, preferring options like 1 TB, M.2, PCIe NVMe, or SSDs. You believe M.2 and PCIe NVMe SSDs are better.
If you have specific sites in mind, please share their links.
Your desired keep time for the laptop is 5 to 10 years, if feasible.
You’re uncertain about the type of optical drive needed—whether it’s a DVD ROM/Writer or Bluray ROM/Writer.
Currently, I thought I wouldn’t need an optical drive, but now I realize I have CDs with data and want access to them.
Please mention your preferred brands and any brands you dislike along with your reasons.
The brands I’ve used before are Dell and HP, with Dell being the most recent model (Inspiron 5559). I haven’t bought a laptop in a while and am leaning toward Dell.
You reside in the United States.
If more information is needed, let me know.
Dell 5559 was my previous laptop, but now I mostly use my Samsung S24 Ultra, including printing to Wi-Fi printers. My old Dell model had an optical drive, but I wasn’t sure about it until I remembered needing to access CDs with data. The device should support printing to the HP OfficeJet Pro 8720.
Optical drives are becoming quite outdated, so the advice is to consider an external USB optical drive. A 12-hour battery life might seem too good to be true for a laptop, though some premium models offer larger batteries—this could be beyond your budget. A quick search at Dell shows these as your top choice:

Or this option if you're looking to save a bit: it promises longer battery life but isn't as strong as the first model:

Hey there! I noticed you were curious about laptops, especially the impressive 12-hour battery on a powerful machine. That’s quite something! While it’s possible to find good battery performance, I checked what you might be looking for and found two suitable choices:
HP ENVY x360 (with an i7 processor, 16GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD for $999)
:
This model is ideal for browsing and document work. It’s very sleek and lightweight, though the battery life is likely around 6 to 8 hours. It doesn’t come with a built-in DVD drive.
HP Victus 15-FB1013DX (Ryzen 5 processor, 8GB RAM, and 512GB SSD for $600)
:
This one is a gaming laptop, offering strong performance. The battery life matches your expectations for gaming (typically around 12 hours). It’s a bit heavier than the ENVY but delivers great power.
