How to choose the right laptop for you
These days we all have a lot of choices of laptops and computers, due to which it is difficult to find out which laptop or computer is best for you. So today we have brought some tips and suggestions for you, with the help of which you will be able to choose the right laptop or computer for you.
Screen Size and Weight:
Laptop screens typically range in size from 9- to 17-inch (about 23- to 43-centimeter) displays. The bigger the display, the heavier your laptop will be. Balance the amount of portability against performance to find the right size for you. Traveling somewhere with a bigger screen will be harder and the battery backup will be less, but will support better graphics and more power. Smaller screens would be just the opposite.
CPU
CPU is the brain of your computer. The two main CPU providers are Intel and AMD. Intel dominates the market in terms of advanced technology, but AMD offers competitive models at lower prices. The dual-core CPU is more powerful, with better support for gaming and graphics, while the single-core CPU is much more cost-effective for those who use their computers only for basic office and web-browsing tasks.
Look for SSD or SSD Cache
Opt for a laptop with an SSD or SSD cache (even if it is 8GB or 16GB) as these laptops are faster and more responsive. Prefer these laptops if your budget allows, even if it means getting a smaller hard-disk, for example 500GB instead of 750GB.
RAM :
Business travelers and home users should look for between 2GB and 4GB of RAM. Gamers, graphic artists and other people working with high definition video should opt for 4 GB to 8 GB RAM. The average student can settle for 1GB of RAM to work on homework, e-mailing, and web browsing.
Old processor is fine:
Here’s how it works: Core i series processors are better. Even if they are a gen older, it is still better than the latest generation Pentium, so if you have to choose between the two at the same cost, go with the Core i. Similarly, the Pentium is better than the Atom in performance, and even if the Pentium belongs to the two-year-old gen, it is still a good pick.
Search laptop online:
Many shopping sites have tools and search engines to help you choose the right laptop. Microsoft has an innovative program called PC Scout, which walks beginners through the process of choosing a computer, and then presents some options at the end. Online shopping sites often have advanced search features to help you find laptops with the exact specifications that you want.
