I have a home computer and I want a laptop.what do I need to consider when comparing laptops before buying??
harddrive size, ram, processor speed, dvd burner, usbs, and read user reviews
well depends on what your using it for. for gaming/desgining a WHOLE lotta stuff but for casual internet/ writing, any new lap top will be great now a daysso with that being said, i'd focus on one that is light and compact
well yea if you want a laptop for gaming good RAM and a big hard drive and same withe internet really but my favorite kind of laptop is a notebook laptop sorry if my answer is crappy
The two most important considerations are what are you going to use the laptop for, and what is your budget? If you just want something convenient and portable to do email and web surfing, then a netbook is fine, since it's lightweight, inexpensive and easy to carry around. Price range $300-$500. If you want to do a little more, like maybe watch DVDs and play music, run Microsoft Office, take to the library for studying (basic student stuff), then a basic full size laptop will handle most of what you need. Price range $450-$600. If you want a desktop comparable system that will be your main system for all but the most demanding tasks, then you want a 15.4 monitor, 2Ghz or faster Core Duo processor, 250GB hard drive, 3GB RAM, DVD burner, maybe a better graphics adapter. Figure $500-$750. A gaming system will cost a lot more. You'll need more memory, a better graphics adapter, bigger screen. Price $1500+. A full desktop replacement that will serve as your only computer can run anywhere from $750-$3000. You'll need a larger hard drive, 4GB memory, probably on-site service, backup software, extra battery and a strong back. Once you decide on what class of laptop you're looking at, the choice is really more based on which brand you prefer or trust and which system gives you the best performance for the bucks. Most of the brands use the same or similar components so the choice (in my on mind) comes down more to price than anything else. Make sure the system has the components you need either built-in, or easy to add. Adding a DVD burner to a system that doesn't have one is easy; changing video cards is impossible.
1. Where to use the laptop? To have a laptop that suits your need. 2. Look for a good hard drive. Have a good speed and sufficient memory. 3. Look for a good processor. The best processor for laptop these days is the Core2Duo. 4. Determine the size of the laptop you want to purchase. Make sure it will be easy for you to carry it anywhere.
