Tips On Choosing The Best Laptop

By Tiffany Nash


Who would be using the laptop? Determine if the user is a school student, college student, professional businessman ,office worker, etc. because when choosing a laptop computer, it is important to understand who will be using it.

Where do you think the laptop will be used? For heavy mobile users such as college students and professionals, size, weight and battery life are very important. So when looking over the reviews and relevant specs, keep those factors in mind. Using a laptop from room to room in their house and have loads of access to AC power most of the time would be the average high school student. For these users, it's likely that the factors listed above are not as critical.

How will the laptop be used? The more mobile the user, the more durability is needed. Sales reps and other heavy users spend a great deal of time start and shutting down their laptops every day. About 5 times a day is how often an average user will open and shut their laptop. Although that may not seem alot of wear and tear, there is also the issue of general handling. Heavy users will be traveling from location to location, in and out of cars,on and off planes etc on a constant basis. The likelihood of damage to the laptop computer, via dropping, bumping and banging, drink spills on the keyboard, etc. will then increase.

Should I buy a service contract for my laptop? The answer is YES. Think about it, you are carrying around a fragile piece of electronics that costs $1,000 or more so the price of a typical service contract is a bargain. The price is relatively small, about 4100 per laptop computer, so it's worth it for your peace of mind.

How much should I expect to pay for a laptop? Before, trying to find a quality laptop that is under $600 was difficult but that is no longer true. Great offers starting around $300 are what you can find in several companies. When you select certain options or upgrades, this will have a large impact in what you expect to pay. When you go shopping, it would be helpful to have a list of what you want in a laptop such as speed, memory, hard drive size, burners, etc. A great deal of customization is allowed with online laptop computer manufacturers but still, the general public are easily serviced with a "off the shelf" standard laptop computer.

What Laptop Brand Should I Choose? In this respect, the world is your oyster because of the amount of laptop computer manufacturers out there and there are different sizes and colors so it's everyone's personal choice.
