So you have finally decided to buy the portable PC – laptop. Need some guidance about what to look for when buying a laptop? If yes, then you have come to the right place. Here we are the things you should know before buying a laptop. Read on.

Portability: The main reason for choosing a notebook (as it is widely known!) is undoubtedly its portability. Since you will be literally carrying your entire computer with you wherever you are going, check the portability of the laptop. This probably includes the weight and dimensions of the laptop. Choose between either the smaller or the larger sizes. The smaller models weighing 3 or 4 pounds have an external drive. Larger models enable you to use an extra hard drive or an extra battery.

Price: Your budget is the foremost for any kind of shopping. When it comes to buying a laptop, we are sure you will be well aware that laptops cost you twice the price of a desktops. So choose one, which suits your needs as well as your wallet!

Processor: It is very important to look for the performance of the processor as it determines the speed and efficiency of a notebook. We would suggest you to purchase a laptop with 1GB of Ram and at least 80 GB on your hard drive.

Memory: Laptops with 256 MB RAM are widely used nowadays. Power users should try to get a notebook with at least 512 MB or more.

Battery: We recommend you to choose the Lithium Ion battery because they last longer as compared to Nickel battery.
