Buying a good laptop

Have you ever wanted to buy a laptop and you just could not decide which brand, model, type, or size to get.

Here are a few tips to help you

1. Flow with the big names

By this I mean that it is more advisable to go with the big names who have been around for quite sometime and their continuity is almost certain. To avoid a situation where you buy a product today and tomorrow the company packs up, leaving you with no where to run to in case anything comes up.

2. PURPOSE OF BUYING THE SYSTEM

A second factor to consider is why you want to purchase the system or let me say what functions it will mostly serve.

The business type

If you are the business type working mostly on documents on the go, then a sturdy well secured notebook will do the trick for safety and security on the go LENOVO’s THINK PAD or DELL’s LATILUDE will go along way. 2 to 4GB of RAM, 160 GB hard disk drive, 12 to 15 inch display,windows vista or windows seven professional, and a mobile broadband modem will surely help.

The student

Low price and portability come in first, low-power notebooks are basically cheaper though these always come with small screens.

A second option is the 13 inch thin and light notebook, though less portable, it's pleasurable to use when writing papers or doing research. At least 2GB memory,160 GB Hard disk drive, 13 inch display, Dualcore CPUs, optical drives will go a long way.

1. Graphic designs

Powerful processors, discrete graphics, fast harddrives come into play here. A 17 or 15 inch screen with high resolution is a good suggestion, Plenty of RAM up to 8GB, with a 500 GB hard disk drive will never disappoint you.

The home user

The 15 inch laptop with 2 to 4 GB RAM, 250GB HDD, and a DVD optical burning drive makes home experience lot more fun.

3. Wifi and webcam

A system with inbuilt wireless, webcam is less cumbersome since you do not need to go along with wires and attachments for the individual devices.

4. USB port

Two USB ports for your system will be better so you are able to connect more than one device to your system.

5. Market survey

Finally a brief market survey helps to reduce disappointments by bringing you close to the variety of brands to choose from making you more conversant with the available products.

GOODLUCK.
