10 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING YOUR COMPUTER LAPTOP

Many people find it difficult to compare prices, features, processor types,etc to find the right choice in accordance with their requirements.

Today, on Woven Tech, we will tell you the top 10 things to consider before buying a computer laptop.

9. PRICE
8. Operating System Type.
7. Size
6. Peripherals
5. Brand
4. HARD DISK
3. RAM
2. Processor

10. USABILITY

computer usability

It is important that you first consider the tasks that you will be performing on your computer laptop. If you wish to buy a computer laptop for simply browsing the internet and using some online services than it might be better to buy a single core computer laptop which satisfies your minimum requirements.

On the contrary, if you require using it for heavy video editing and professional work, then it might be better to buy a system that has enhanced multimedia options.

9. PRICE

computer laptop price

This brings us to our next consideration of price. There might be some very fancy features that you want in your new computer laptop.

However, if you don’t have the cash to pay for let’s say a graphic card with 1GB memory, then you might be better off choosing suitable alternatives.

8. Operating System Type.

computer laptop OS

Users with minimum requirements may be better off buying a Windows Starter or Home Premium version e.g. of Windows 7.

For users who wish to take advantage of more enhanced features and require more effective tools such as connecting their computer laptop to a domain are naturally better off buying a Professional or Ultimate Edition. Having said that the cost of a Windows 7 Ultimate Edition can be as much as 219$.

7. Size

computer laptop size

Some people prefer buying larger computer laptop for a better display screen, whereas others prefer smaller and more portable sizes.

If you are setting up a server which will be placed in a server room then size considerations will not matter much as large servers with multiple SCSI drives are normally quite big. Whereas, for people with weak eye sights a computer laptop with a larger display screen might be worth the price.

6. Peripherals

computer laptop peripherals

Peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, etc can significantly increase or reduce your price for buying a new PC. It might be better off buying a system with a DVD combo drive if you do not require writing data to DVDs.

5. Brand

computer laptop brand

Some brands offer better warrantees, whereas others offer software packages that come with the computer laptop. For example, a Dell computer laptop with the same specifications may be cheaper than a Sony Vio computer laptop.

The reason is that Sony provides many of its own softwares with their computer laptop which saves the users cost for buying software, e.g. a DVD burning. However, if you already have many such licensed or freeware software available, then it might be better to go for cheaper brands.

Acer, for instance, is known for its low-cost computer laptop that provide more enhanced specs like hard disk space and RAM as compared to its competitors.

4. HARD DISK

computer laptop hard disk

Hard Disk considerations might not mean much to a lay user, nonetheless, having the right amount of disk space and disk type might be necessary for the efficient management of regular tasks for a professional.

A common user may merely have to decide between buying a 120GB or 320 GB hard disk system. An IT professional on the contrary might have to decide between a SCSI or a SATA drive. As a scuzzy or SCSI(Small Computer System Interface) drive might be required for Raid configurations.

3. RAM

computer laptop ram

It is obvious that for more professional tasks and to run a Xeon Server there will be more RAM required than for merely using a PC for browsing the internet. Moreover, the RAM type may matter more than many people might consider.

For example, there are not many applications currently available that can take advantage of DDR3 RAM types, one may be better of saving some dimes by buying a system with a DDR2 RAM.

2. Processor

processor

The Processor is one of the most important parts of a system and can mean the difference between a computer laptop that frequently hangs and the one that runs smoothly.

Some people might think that going for the low-cost single core or Dual-Core processors is a good idea but I would not recommend either of them for anyone who requires using a system for more than basic usage.

Moreover, one might be better off buying a Corei3 computer laptop instead of a Core2 Duo as the later might be more expensive and less efficient than the former.

A Corei3 can cost up to 113$ whereas, a Core2 Duo can cost 130$. For more demanding professionals, it might be a better idea to buy a corei5 (if not a Core i7), as the core i5 uses Turbo Boost technology other than Hyper-Threading.

1. Warranty

warranty

A warranty makes up the most important consideration for people when buying a computer laptop. Having one covered with the right kind of hardware warranty is essential and should be unconditional.

I still remember when Sony had to recall several computer laptops due to a battery fault because of which their computer laptops caught fire. I’m sure none of us would like to have a computer laptop that we can fry omelettes on without the guarantee of replacement.
