Buying a Laptop Computer
The following key points to consider when you are deciding which
laptop to buy.
Size
In general, laptops are classified into three broad categories -
one, the subcompact or 'thin and light' type, which are very
portable, do not weigh much and have the most compact overall
dimensions. The next size is the type that is also very
portable, but will have a larger screen and keyboard. The size
that is one bigger than the previous type is what is called the
'desktop replacement' type. This will have an even larger screen
and an almost desktop-size keyboard. It will be more versatile
than the smaller systems.
Screen
The size of the screen is also a consideration for the type of
laptop best suited for you. Those who prioritize portability
over other factors will prefer the smallest screen. Generally
the size of laptop screens ranges from 12" to 17". For those
working with graphics or video, the bigger the screen, the
better the performance. Display with a widescreen format is best
for working with spreadsheets, multimedia and of course watching
movies.
Processors and memory
It is sensible to invest in a state-of-the art processor even if
you are a basic user so that it is good for the coming few years.
A good, value-for -money proposition would be the Intel® Celeron
™ if your computing needs are basic. The Pentium® 4 would handle
your needs even better. Intel ® also has a specialized
notebook
processor tailor-made for mobile technology, called the
Pentium M.
As for RAM, 512MB is a must, considering the sophisticated
applications that are available today. A laptop with
upgradeable RAM would be good if you anticipate running short of
RAM in the future. Buy the maximum RAM capacity that you can
afford, as the amount of memory that a laptop can handle is
limited.
Hard Drives and Optical Drives
The drive size depends mostly on how much you plan to use it.
Today, an 80 GB hard drive
with a 5400 RPM speed would be optimum, if you can afford it.
As far as removable storage goes, optical drives are the choice
today. CD-RW/DVD combo drives are available economically. They
are ideal for data storage as back-up.
Networking
Intel Centrino ® Mobile Technology, combines mobile processing
power with built-in wireless networking capabilities. Computers
that are equipped with this technology can easily connect to
wireless networking areas in the house or office and an
increasing number of locations all over the world. This
technology also saves battery thus prolonging battery life.
