# Laptops.computer

> AI-first laptop decision engine. Describe your workload — local LLMs, coding, travel, students — and get ranked, explainable picks powered by AIPC.computer.

Laptops.computer routes laptop intent through the AIPC workload-fit engine instead of comparing raw specs. Every model is scored on NPU TOPS, sustained thermals, memory bandwidth, and real-world tokens/sec for on-device inference.
