Tips For Buy Perfect Notebooks For You

1. Choose Your Form
We divide notebook into 4 form ( thin-light, ultraportable, mainstream, desktop
replacement ). Decide which form is suit for you.
-> Thin-light if you need balance between size, battery and power. This form is
suit with students or bussinessman. Their larger screens (14-15) and it’s
roomier keyboard makes it better for longer usage
-> Ultraportable, if you will use your notebook on the road (mobile). This form has
small size, that’s make it easy to bring. Finally, tiny tech comes with higher
price.
-> Mainstream, if you need laptops for daily usage. Although they don’t have small
size ( 14′ screen or larger, big keyboard, and standard ports ), they still
offer portability. So, this form just like budget desktop’s : they good for
general tasks but won’t win any contests for their performance or features.
-> Desktop Replacement, if you need desktop power. With screen size between 15-17′,
travel weights, and longer battery life (Upto 3 hours). They offer wide range
performance, but decreased a little portability.

2. The CPU
For CPU you should choose the fastest you can afford. You have a lot options.
Intel’s Centrino is good, but if you prefer one which has affordable price you can
choose AMD. But AMD is still behind Intel’s (based on CNet mobilemark test).

3. Screen
Wide screen offers sharper and better image, they are great for watching DVD’s or
you can open two documents side by side. A spacious 17-inch wide-screen laptop is a
nice luxury if you’re not planning on traveling with it.

4. The (not-so) great outdoors
Sunlight is not ideal for computing — specifically, for seeing the screen. If you
want to work outdoors, you have options, but most consumer models have what are
known as transmissive screens. These screens are lit from behind, and despite what
you’ve seen in the commercials, they’re virtually invisible on a bright, sunny day.
Reflective LCDs, which light the screen’s pixels from the front and reflect
polarised light from the environment, are much better for outdoor work, but their
screens look dim indoors. What’s more, they’re mostly reserved for vertical-market
notebook models and are pretty tough to come by.

5. Memory
Having enough memory is vital to system performance, and lots of RAM lets you run
more applications simultaneously. Sufficient RAM is also necessary for graphics
work, image editing, and video editing, and crucial for 3D gaming. This is
especially true in notebooks, because notebook graphics processors frequently have
little or no memory of their own and share the main system RAM.

1GB: Good for basic office apps, running one at a time.

1.5GB: Adequate for running several programs at once, photo editing, and basic 3D
gaming.

2GB or more: Recommended for high-performance 3D gaming, demanding graphics work,
and video editing.
