What students say
“I'd been stuck on three open tabs of spec sheets for a week. Plample asked me five questions and handed me the laptop I actually bought. No regrets.”
A friendly Q&A
You can talk to it like you're talking to a friend who knows a lot about laptops, not like you're reading a spec sheet.
Don't worry, we'll always show you cheaper options too.
A taste of the picks
We look at every laptop and compare it to what you need: your budget, the software you use, battery life, how easy it is to carry around, and how long it has to last for your degree. Then we rank them from the best match down. Every laptop we suggest shows how it scored on the things that matter to you, so nothing's hidden behind a single number.
You can tap any score to see why a laptop got it, broken down by what you told us.

Every seller, one place
Once you've found the laptop you want, we check every retailer that sells it and give you a list of all the prices. The list is sorted by price, and we highlight the cheapest option. We'll also show you any student discounts that are available.
We don't just show you one retailer. We show you every retailer that sells the laptop, and we search the web to find them all.
We pull the prices live so you can be sure they're up to date, highlight the cheapest, and still show you every place you might want to buy from.
We dig out any student offers, discount codes and seasonal deals that you might not have found otherwise.
