Which one should you pick then?

The easiest thing would be to go to the supermarket, get 4 liters of milk, 2 oranges, 2 pairs of underwear and a cheap laptop! Unfortunately, it’s not that simple if you want to make a good purchase. You have to do some research before you spend your money, unless you want to waste it on a computer you don’t really need. The most important thing to do is to have a clear idea of what you want to do with your brand new laptop. Other things to consider are budget, brand, and perhaps which special features you want.

Do you even need a laptop?

The first step in choosing a new computer is to ask yourself if you even need a laptop. A stationary PC is still superior in price versus power and upgradeability. The possibility of getting large monitors and big beautiful cabinets which enable the extension or upgrade of the components is the stationary PCs forte. Here, the spilling of various liquids into the keyboard in the form of coke, coffee, and cleaning spirits etc. is a less costly affair, as you can simply get a new keyboard cheaply on a PC, whereas you’d have to get a laptop repaired, often an expensive affair.

Another downside to laptops is the price of the components. They are often much more expensive, and if you’re not good with electronics, chances are you’ll have to pay to get something repaired or upgraded eventually. That being said, laptops are unsurpassed when it comes to mobility. They are optimal for students who need them both at home and at classes. The traveling businessman or average user can also enjoy the mobility; they can use the laptop from time to time, and then put it away when they’re done. As mentioned earlier, it’s important to do some research before investing your hard earned money.

This guide is split into two parts. The first identifies and explains a number of user groups. The point of this is to place you within one of these groups, which will help you determine what components and other aspects you should consider when buying a laptop. The second part of the guide explains the different components’ function and their influence on the laptop as a whole. In addition, there’s a short review of the overall choices within each given group of products.

Enjoy!
