Laptop selection with MEREC based WASPAS method

With the development of technology, computers have become very important in both daily life and business life. Evaluation of many data together, error-free and fast calculation has been facilitated by computers. With the development of remote working and field work areas, laptop computers have become more preferred for companies. Today, there are many different brands of laptop. The presence of many criteria and alternatives makes selection difficult for decision makers. In this case, the use of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods makes it easier for the decision maker to make the most beneficial choice. With MCDM methods, it is possible to select, sort and classify options with different features in the decision-making process. In this study, while making the most appropriate selection, priorities were determined with the MEREC (Method based on the Removal Effects of Criteria) method, which is one of the objective weighting methods, and the alternatives were listed with the WASPAS (Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment) method. As a result of the processes, the most important criterion was the battery life, which corresponds to the K7 among the seven criteria, while the best alternative among the seven alternatives was A2.
