Shopping for a new laptop can be a little bit daunting. Unless you’re a techie, you’ll be confronted by all kinds of information you can’t… process? How to tell which laptop is the one for you? We’re here to help. Let’s take a look at the 5 best laptops to buy in 2020.

It may not be cheap, but you get plenty for your money. The Spectre is a convertible laptop with a touch screen. Basically, you can flip it over and use it as a tablet. The Spectre looks cool, has excellent speakers, and gives you excellent overall performance.
Dell XPS 13
Price: $1277 and up

The XPS is sleek, light, well-designed, and it functions well. It’s also highly customizable, with tons of optional extras. Add in top-shelf battery life, and you have a solid offering from Dell.
Acer Swift 3
Price: $389 and up

Acers aren’t fancy. They don’t look great, but beneath the hood of the Swift 3, you’ll find an excellent laptop for a very reasonable price. The resolution isn’t the best, but if you’re looking for a work laptop and you don’t want to pay brand name prices, this is the laptop for you.
MacBook Pro
Price: $2,249 and up

Apart from the benefits of owning a Mac -- arguably better OS, great for editing and design -- the big selling point here is the screen. It’s 16 inches of pure beauty. Seriously, you’re going to love watching videos on your Macbook. The downside… mainly the price. This definitely isn’t a budget option.
MacBook Air
Price: $853 and up

If you want a Mac but don’t want to pay MacBook Pro prices, the MacBook Air is your play. The screen isn’t as brilliant, and the battery life isn’t great. But the price is lower than ever, and the performance is what you would expect from an Apple product.
We hope you enjoyed reading about 2020's best laptops!

For decades, the classic rule of thumb for housing has been simple: spend no more than 30% of your income on rent or a mortgage. But for many Gen Z renters, the rule feels almost laughable. In cities across North America, rent has climbed far faster than wages, and entry-level salaries often collide with record-high housing prices, student loan payments, and rising living costs. The result is that millions of young adults are spending far more than 30% of their income just to keep a roof over their heads.
It's never a bad thing to pay off your credit card debt, but if your credit score gets lowered, it can seem very unfair.
Closing a credit card can feel like a clean break, until your credit score updates and suddenly looks worse. That dip is common, and it can show up as soon as the account closure is reported to the credit bureaus and the scoring model recalculates. The good news is that most of the “damage” is not permanent, but the timeline depends on what exactly changed on your credit report.
Moving in together can feel like the ultimate “we’re a team” milestone, until the first real financial decision lands on the table. For a lot of couples, that moment is the question of whether to combine everything or keep money separate. Experts generally say there is no single “right” setup, but there are clear best practices that lower stress and conflict.
It feels like a punchline, but it is a real banking outcome. A small purchase can trigger a much bigger overdraft fee if your account dips below zero at the wrong time. The big question is not whether it is fair. It is whether it is allowed.
You expect a few bumps when your child starts applying for financial aid, but being denied a student loan because they already have bad credit is not one of them. Then the truth comes out: someone opened credit cards using your child’s Social Security number years ago. Even worse, the person responsible might be your ex-spouse.
