About this project

Aptum helps college students choose the right laptop for their studies. Simply tell it your college and branch/department, and it will analyze your curriculum to understand the software, programming languages, and tools you'll use throughout your course. Based on those requirements, it recommends the ideal laptop specifications—including processor, RAM, storage, graphics, display, and battery life—and suggests laptop models across different budget ranges to ensure you're well-equipped for your entire degree.
