1. Weight
Weight is a crucial factor, and really applies to the lifestyle of the consumer. Most laptops weigh between 1kg-3kg. If you are a student treking to college everyday, it is not exactly practical to be lugging a 3kg laptop with you, unless you are driving. It also depends on if you use the laptop regularly. Although it may be lighter and easier to carry, the heavier the laptop, the bigger the screen and the better the processing power.
2. Screen size
The size of the screen is closely related to the weight. It determines the size of the keyboard- the bigger the screen, the bigger the keyboard. Also, if you have already become accustomed to looking at a large moniter, eg. 24 inches, a twelve inch moniter may result in a headache!3.Touchpad or touchpoint
Do you plan on using an external mouse or a built in touchpad/touchpoint to move your cursor? If you are not going to use a mouse it would be good that you choose the more comfortable between the latter. Bear in mind that being efficient in controlling your mouse can save time!
4. Battery life
As plug sockets are not always available, a long lasting battery can prove to be more efficient! There is nothing worse than a flat battery when you are halfway through a mountain of work!
5. Accessories
The last thing you need to consider when getting a laptop is the built in accessories. For example, if you use a web cam often, ensure that your laptop comes with an integrated camera and microphone. If you often work with CD or DVDs, you will probably prefer a build in DVD drive. Try to buy a laptop with accessories that you need to avoid tedious downloads!
So really, the best way to select the best laptop for you is to imagine using it for your daily needs. With a wide variety of brands and models available you are sure to find the perfect one!
