Rufus Visibility Checklist for Computers Laptops Brands

Rufus treats computers differently than most categories. It's obsessed with specs — RAM, processor, storage — and constantly asks about use cases before making recommendations. Budget matters more here than anywhere else. A $500 difference completely changes what Rufus suggests. It also pushes refurbished options hard, which can hurt new product visibility if you're not careful.
