How To Identify Good Laptop?

There are many laptops out there and each is unique. There is no laptop that is perfect for everybody. Everyone has their ideal laptop. Such factors include usage, application requirements and budget. Here are my steps to getting that dream laptop:

1: Budget. That should always the first thing to consider. No use looking at the $2500 laptops when you only have $500 to spend. Once you have put together a budget, move on to the next step.

2: Required features. I do a small amount of work on graphics plus play games so i checked out the computers with good graphics. I watch movies on my laptop so I bought one with a large screen and inbuilt theatre features such as viritual surround sound, TUBE bass and multimedia buttons. These are examples of required features. Do you intend to do a lot of DVD burning on your laptop? Then buy one with a fast DVD burner.

3: Battery. This is one very big feature that needs its own step to ensure you make the right choice. Do you use your laptop as a desktop replacement? Then it is ok to get a laptop with a shorter battery span. Do you use your laptop for long periods without plugging into the power? Then it is a wise choice to buy a laptop with a large battery while sacrificing on the extra features you don't need.

Oh and it is also worth noting that some laptops have inbuilt battery saving software where you can easily change the screen brightness, the CPU speed, Graphics speed, ect. These should help influence your decision.

4: Durability. Some laptops are soft and very breakable (Probably the most common). Some laptops are built to withstand liquids on the keyboard, sand, small drops and can run on higher altitudes than others. Also, some laptops may have a longer or shorter lifespan.

5: Extra features. There may be extra features that can be a good thing to have in a computer. Some are just going to slow down your computer. While you can just simply make them vanish from your startup registry, it is probably better to not get it in the first place because you are basically paying for the software and features you aren't gonna use.

6: Warranty, Support and Help. Warranty is pretty obvious. If you are worried the computer will break, extend the warranty. I did it and it actually payed off after my graphics gave way to a small fault (no i did not overclock). The best bit is, it was outside of the normal warranty so I actually got good results from the warranty. However, Don't put too much warranty!!! I once put heaps of years into my iPod and it never broke. For support and help, you should know where to ask and where to go when you have an answer.

7: Freebies. Sometimes, you get freebies such as "free 2gb extra ram". However, there can be some catches to it...

8: Appearance. If you are the kind of person who hates a certain colour, it might not be a good idea to grab a computer of that colour... Also, some computers can have options to change colour/appearance. It is always nice to have a computer that looks as good as it works :D

9: Other stores. Check other stores if they have the same or similar laptop for better value. That's how I got my laptop. It's worth that extra mile if you are gonna save money. in my case, $200.

Just one more thing, You should look out for those "cashback" offers. Be as sure as possible that you will receive the cashback AND post the cashback requests ASAP. This way, there is no real reason that the company won't give you the money they promised. Although, sometimes the mail can be a bit slow and that might infact be the reason of you missing the due-date of the cashback.
