Purpose: This methodology explains how Infinite Tech evaluates laptops for Kenyan buyers so readers can understand why a model is recommended for a particular budget or workload.

What we evaluate

Area	What we check	Why it matters
Processor	Exact CPU model, generation, core/thread capability and official manufacturer specifications	CPU naming alone can hide major performance differences between generations.
Memory	Installed RAM, practical workload needs and upgradeability	RAM affects multitasking, software headroom and useful life.
Storage	SSD capacity, interface where known and upgrade options	SSD storage improves responsiveness and enough capacity reduces immediate upgrade costs.
Graphics	Integrated or dedicated GPU, VRAM where relevant and software-specific requirements	Creative, CAD and video workloads can depend strongly on GPU capability.
Display	Size, resolution and panel information when available	Display quality affects study, design, productivity and portability.
Condition	Chassis, keyboard, ports, screen, storage health and battery condition where inspection data is available	Condition is essential when assessing refurbished value.
Compatibility	Current operating-system and application requirements	A laptop can be inexpensive but poor value if it cannot run the buyer’s required software.
Value	Current Kenyan price, specifications, condition and realistic alternatives	Recommendations should reflect what buyers can actually purchase in Kenya.

Primary sources we prefer

For technical requirements and processor specifications we prefer first-party documentation from software publishers and hardware manufacturers. Examples include Microsoft Windows requirements, Intel Product Specifications, Autodesk system requirements and Adobe application requirements. Product prices and stock are treated as time-sensitive and readers should verify the current product page before purchase.

How we separate requirements from recommendations

A software publisher’s minimum requirement is not automatically our buying recommendation. Minimum specifications describe the threshold needed to install or run software, while our recommendations consider multitasking, useful life, larger projects and typical 2026 buyer expectations. We identify these as Infinite Tech recommendations rather than presenting them as manufacturer requirements.

How we handle refurbished laptops

For refurbished laptops we consider specification, age, compatibility, physical condition, upgradeability, battery expectations and price. A newer processor is not always the only deciding factor; business-class build quality, ports, keyboard, repairability and available RAM or SSD upgrades can materially affect value.

Editorial standards

Use exact model names and avoid guessing uncertain specifications.
Link important technical claims to primary sources where practical.
State when prices and stock can change.
Correct product or guide information when a verified discrepancy is found.
Prefer useful comparisons and buyer-fit explanations over generic promotional language.

Update policy

Buying guides are reviewed when software requirements, product availability, pricing or major hardware generations change. Because Kenyan electronics pricing can move quickly, product pages remain the final reference for live price and availability.

Editorial responsibility: Infinite Tech Kenya prepares these guides for buyers comparing laptops sold in the Kenyan market. The goal is to make recommendations transparent, reproducible and easy to verify against official sources.
