Buying a Laptop

Before buying a notebook several characteristics need to be considered. First, consider whether you are looking for a Home or Business product. Even though the price difference is usually less than 10%, the technical difference is significant.

Business products have been designed for the professional that relies on a notebook as a work tool in a day to day basis.

In addition, the business product comes with Windows XP Professional as the operative system. This system is more stable and has recovery capabilities.

Second, consider the warranty. Standard warranty is one year. However, the product life could be up to three years. A great number of business laptops already come with three years of warranty. Since the average laptop repair cost more than $500 dollars we recommend  to buy the three year warranty extension

Third, consider the use and capacity you need according to the use you will give to the notebook. The general thought is focus on big hard drive or high speed processor. The application you will give to the equipment determines the capacity you really need.

For frequent travelers, who need long life batery, the recommended is Pentium M processor, 60GB for the hard drive, and 1GB SRAM. Also consider a smaller screen between 12-14 inches. For a art graphics professional who requires capacity and performance the recommended will be a notebook with Dual Core, 2 GB SRAM memory, 120GB hard drive and a video card of preferably 256MB (128MB min).

Of course, all this characteristics will depend on the application.

A DVD writer is optional; the majority of people does not edit or save big amounts of information. The DVD writer is still considered by electronic companies as a luxury capacity, price is still affected by its presence in the system. For the next year this module will be considered as basic and price won’t be affected as much.
