Which Laptop Do I Buy? - The Buying Guide
Purchasing a laptop/ a notebook
computer can be a real difficult task. You need to
correctly assess your current needs and requirements,
and also keep a track of your needs and necessities
that are likely to pop up in the later years. Your
current needs trump those of your future self, and
by making yourself aware of the several ins-and-outs
of today's technology it is very likely that you'll
be satisfied with your purchase, and better off in
the future. Following are the important aspects of
today's laptop.
1. Screen Size:
The prime specification to be taken into consideration
even before you to go purchase is to understand and
analyze as to what will be the purpose of the notebook
that you'll be buying. This particular understanding
affects every other aspect of the laptop including
its size, weight and also the battery life. Screen
sizes of laptops can range from 5 inches in your ultra-portable
system up to 17 inches. Screen size is directly proportional
to the weight of the machine.
2. Ultra-portable:
If you are a frequent traveler and have to carry your
notebook along, it's a real pain to carry the heavy
laptops. Thus, the best option is to get an ultra-portable
laptop, with the screen size ranging from 12.1" -
13.3". Some remarkable examples include the new Macbook
Air, Dell
XPS, the Lenovo
Thinkpad X series.
3. Widescreen or Standard:
This is up to you to decide which format you prefer.
But, to be honest, the screen with standard aspect
ratio is becoming more difficult to find due to the
benefits of a widescreen display.
4. Glossy or Matte:
Like the widescreen debate above, the debate also
extends over the glossy or matte finish. Although
glossy finishes are "IN" these days, but the same
are a nightmare under bright light, but under medium-to-low
light conditions they make images and text much crispier
and rich-looking.
