Laptop Buying Guide Top 10 Features to Look
For

• Time to buy a laptop computer? Take a look at the
  options, and youre likely to get a little
  overwhelmed at the many choices. Here at P.C.
  Richard Son we make the process of choosing
  just the right computer as easy as possible.
  Weve created this handy buying guide containing
  the top 10 features to look for in a laptop.
• 1. Size and weight
• Most likely youll be transporting your laptop,
  so its size and weight matter. Heavier laptops
  weigh around 5 pounds, whereas ultra-light
  computers come in at around 3 pounds. The
  diameter of the device is also important, as you
  want to be able to easily fit it in your
  briefcase or laptop backpack.

• 2. Screen quality and size
• How good of a resolution do you want for your
  computer screen and how big do you want the
  screen? Most screens come in 13, 15 and 17
  inches. The latter two sizes work for watching
  videos. Generally its best to go for the highest
  resolution option.
• 3. Keyboard
• Especially if you do a lot of typing, its
  critical that you choose a laptop with a
  comfortable keyboard that allows for efficiency.
  Look for a keyboard with a good layout that is
  backlit.

• 4. Storage and memory space
• If you store a lot of info in the cloud, this may
  not be as big of a concern, but if you want to
  load your computer up with music and videos, get
  as much storage and memory space as possible. Get
  4GB of RAM or even more. The more RAM you have,
  the more applications you can run at the same
  time and the more quickly you can access data.
• 5. Battery life
• How long you use your computer at a sitting
  dictates how much battery life you require. Your
  computer will last according to a variety of
  factors, including how bright your screen is and
  the various tasks you run simultaneously. You can
  always upgrade your laptop battery if you require
  more power.
• 6. Processor and graphics
• How efficiently your computer runs is dictated by
  its main processor, and how good the graphics
  look is due to the graphics processor.
• 7. Wireless networking capability
• No doubt youre going to want to get online
  wherever you go, so its critical that your
  laptop has this capability.

• 8. Security features
• When safeguarding your information is critical,
  choose a laptop that comes with security feature
  such as a fingerprint scanner.
• 9. USB port
• Chances are youll need to transfer data between
  your various devices. A USB port lets you readily
  move information.
• 10. Warranty
• What kind of a guarantee do you have if your new
  computer quits working? And do you want to get
  accident insurance in case of a fall? These are
  some of the questions you should ask in order to
  determine what type of laptop warranty is right
  for you.
