Guide To Buy A Laptop


This is a guide by me of how to buy a laptop. First of all.. I need to tell you guys i'm NOT a laptop fan because I'm hate not comfortable working with laptop but at least with a great a little knowledge of mine in computer i can guide you how to choose a laptop.

1. BUDGET
This is the most important thing when you want to buy not only laptop.. but everything you want to buy. You must first consider your budget before go to shop and make choice because the salesman will make sure you buy the CHEAPEST highest price laptop. You must make a range of your budget for example RM2000-RM2600. Don't be cheated by the free gift from buying the laptop because the free gift is usually the cheapest item on the market and you can purchase it yourself later.

2. PURPOSES
Purposes are also important point in buying a laptop. For example if you want to buy a laptop for presentation (eg. for lecturer) and travel a lot, you may need a small laptop like SONY VAIO P Series. If you're a student and do a lot of work and playing games with your laptop.. maybe you need a casual laptop that sell a lot nowadays.

3. Brands
Here 3 example of brands that in your budget.


There are a lot of brands nowadays with same price range with a different performance. For example
1. CompaQ are known because it is the cheapest brand with good hardware.
2. Toshiba are known as the highest price and long lasting laptop
3. Dell are known as the BEST after service provider.

4. Hardware and Performance
From the three example above.. you can compare the spec of all the three item. You can ask someone who knows about computer hardware and suggest it to you OR you can search the internet for people's review about the item. A lot of people like to write review about laptop or computer hardware so you can easily find a nice review.

LASTLY MAKE UP YOUR MIND BEFORE BUYING AND DON'T BELIEVE 100% OF WHAT THE SALESMAN TELL YOU!

What do you say about DELL Studio 15? Is it okay if I do a lot of writing work and play games?

Astroxknot said...

just for sharing.. and for dell studio 15.. i think you should go find some review about it.. but i think with its spec it should be able to support lot of writing and game because it has high enough ram (3gb) and build-in graphic and also dual core processor.. for laptop dual core is good enough

I see because I might be going for the lowest end in Studio 15 model. Still considering, thinking that I don't want to end up buying a wrong laptop and face a lot of problems in the future.

I do prefer PC. Laptop? Just for presentation purpose + portability. Nowadays, a handset can already do a laptop work.
