What To Look For When Buying A Laptop

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

When people talk about laptops, everyone assumes that all laptops are wireless. Traveling with a laptop is easier today than it once was, the laptops have gotten smaller and lighter. The new mobile laptops make computing easy for many people. When purchasing a laptop, make sure a wireless connection is built in so you can reach the internet if you are in a wireless area. The laptop is replacing the big desktop computer; but the mobile computer needs to provide the ability to accept components for expandability. Many people today keep all of the information on their computer, so if the computer goes down many people will not have that data. In today’s modern world the laptop or sometimes called notebook is a must have.

If you do not have a laptop computer yet, you should know that one of the most important aspects of having a laptop computer is having a great power supply. Every laptop computer needs to be equipped with some type of warranty; the laptop should have at least a one year manufacturer warranty. You may even be able to play movies on them with crystal clarity. Purchasing a laptop computer is not an easy job to do because there are so many important things that should be considered before purchasing.

The type of work you do can affect the screen size and type that is most suitable for you. If you are not worried about graphics a screen size of 12-14″ is acceptable. If the work you are doing is graphically intensive than a 15-17″ is better. Screen sizes range from 12 to 19 inches. A laptop computer with smaller screen is great option if you do not plan to use laptop too much.

Going from 256MB of RAM to 512MB of RAM will speed up your laptop. If your needs are somewhat mundane - email, spreadsheets, word processing, etc. 512 MB of RAM should be plenty. RAM is to a computer what location is to real estate.

You also need to think about the hard drive in the laptop you are considering. The hard drive is also a very important specification to consider in buying a laptop. The speed of a hard drive is normally calculated in rotations per minute. A hard drive of about 50 gb or over is a good rule of thumb.

In addition to the processor, you will probably want to upgrade your system with memory, monitor, a graphics card or video card, and pointing device and keyboard. Finding cheap components is easy today due to the internet, many sites have popped up and made all of these components accessible. The important thing to remember when shopping for components is that you need to make sure they are compatible with your system.

Laptop cases are an important computer accessory you should make sure you acquire. They have many sections that accommodate important office documents. Another important type of carrying case is the wheeled roller case. But, their safety and protection is equally important. A laptop case is specially made for carrying a laptop but a backpack is just a bottomless pit. Getting a quality bag is very important since you are carrying around an expensive piece of equipment. Your notebook is going to be at least 6 pounds, probably more. The portability of laptop computers is both a boon to busy business people. Your notebook should be sturdy and rugged. Expensive notebooks should be protected properly.

What is good reason(s) buy computer instead of laptop other than computers price and a bit more than laptops?

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

I saw that these days laptops don’t have that much of a difference from computers with their CPUs, so why would people buy a computer these days? Why do you own a desktop?

Desktops have several advantages over laptops:

1- No battery. Even when plugged into an outlet, a laptop’s power is coming from the battery. If the battery is entirely defunct than the laptop may not function even when plugged in. This goes back to the old engineering addage "the more parts there are, the more there is to go wrong."
2- Laptops are harder to service/upgrade. Space, heat, and power consumption are all critical factors in a laptop. Most (98%) of desktops can upgrade a video card with no problem in any of the aforementioned 3 areas. Simply because a laptop is compatible with a graphics card does not mean that it will cool the card efficiently enough for reliable operation.
3- Cost! Desktops offer more computing power at a lower cost. This is due to several factors including space, power consumption, cooling capacity, and ease of design. Laptops are also constructed to a higher standard because it is likely that they will be moving around while turned on. Desktops do not require this as most people set it on their desk and never move it unless it needs service.
4- More ports and drives. Desktops come with a DVD/CD drive as a standard and many will come with a second one so you can copy discs easily. Most desktops will have at least 2 USB ports in the front and anywhere from 2-8 in the back. Laptops come with a single disc drive (if it comes with one at all). In addition, laptops will typically have 2-4 USB ports total.
5- Screen quality. With a laptop, the screen attached to the computer is likely the only one you will ever use. While you can attach a monitor, most people don’t do this. Desktop screens are not constrained by the stringent power requirements of a laptop and usually offer higher resolutions, more HD capable models, lower prices, and better response times (which reduces the "ghost" effect).

Most Common Mistakes When Buying a Computer

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Computers and laptops are very common as other household electronics such as TVs, Stereos, and DVD players. When you purchase these electronics, you looked at what benefits and features will fit your lifestyle. So, purchasing a computer should be similar. Before you start looking around for a computer, read the most common mistakes people have made when purchasing a computer.

Waiting For a Better Computer

Technology is always upgrading and improving. Some people are hesitant on purchasing a computer because they think it will be outdated in six months. Wrong! This statement is completely false. The best advice is not to wait if you really need a computer. If you buy one right away, you will get more use out of it than not buying one at all. Plus if you wait for the best model, you will be paying a lot more.

Not Thinking About Other Computer Costs

When you purchase a computer or laptop, there are other hidden costs that you may not think about such as mouse, printers, cables, software, etc. For example, your computer may come with a 90 day free virus scanner. However if you want to keep this virus scanner, which is very important, you must purchase the updated software. Before buying a computer, set a few dollars aside for other items you might need.

Paying For an Extended Warranty

Most companies make a small profit for computers and laptops because of all of the costs associated with manufacturing and customizing them. This is why these companies offer an extended warranty for a fee since they make a great profit off of it. When you purchase an extended warranty, you are saying that your computer will probably fail before the warranty expires. This rarely happens. In fact, most computers will fail when the warranty expires. It is better to put that extra money towards items you will need for your computer such as mouse, scanner, printer, software, etc. However if something does happen to your computer, it may cost less to get it fix than to purchase the warranty.

Buying Unbalance System Components

If you purchase the latest and best processors, but downsize on your memory, this is pointless for your computer. Your system will run fast, but not at its full capacity since the memory is insufficient. With a small amount of memory, you will not be able to store as much data. Before you even look into purchasing a computer, understand what is RAM and memory and how they affect one another. Therefore, you can make an educated decision of which computer is right for you. If you are unfamiliar with electronic and computer lingo, you can browse through the HP Home & Home Office Store “learn, use, and create” section and find helpful tips and information about digital photography, everyday computing, everyday printing, and digital entertainment.

Not Getting the Best Deal for Your Money

There are many laptops and computers on the market, so you have more options to select from. Since the market is so competitive, you have the opportunity to find the right computer or laptop for the best value for your money. HP Home & Home Office Store has Hewlett Packard computer and electronics for your home and office needs.
