There are no wrong purchases when it comes to technology. Laptop is no exception, but before you begin, find out if you’re purchasing what you really like. I’ve prepared list to consider when buying a laptop.

1. Processor
It is considered as the heart of central processing unit (CPU). As the name implies it is where the computing or the core actions took place. Have you experienced being confused with laptop processor? To avoid getting confused let’s clear some names and definitions. Kindly read here.

2. Consider the Dimensions and Weight
In laptop, size does matter especially when you consider yourself as ‘road warrior’. The drawback is the smaller the dimension and lesser weight; the higher the price value so would go for dimension or price?

3. Memory
I’ll define first what memory is, or commonly known as random access memory (ram). This is the instant-access memory in a computer that holds data temporarily. It’s erased when the device is turned off. Not to be confused with a hard disk, which stores data permanently.

4. Storage Capacity
Huge storage capacity is an optional thing. Common storage capacity you would find in the market today is 80 Giga. This size is enough to store all your data and multimedia files.

5. Battery Life
Another thing to consider is the battery life. If you go unplugged, it is disappointing after several minutes your device went off and there are no AC plugs to found. Look for with energy saving feature to lessen the energy consumption. If you planning to travel in battery with less life span, you better sure plugs are around.

6. Video Cards/ Graphic Cards

7. Look for Spill Resistant Keyboard and Shock-resistant Hard Drives
This is an optional thing to consider but it is worth looking for. Many laptop manufacturers are in the drawing board integrating these features.

8. OS Compatibility
Since, operating system is software that tells a device how to work and what to do. In order to run application program device such as laptops should have one of these. Hence, OS compatibility is very crucial.

9. Look for All-in-one Device
Choose devices that combine several capabilities. For example, look for an integrated optical drive that can view multiple formats. Also, check if it comes with all the latest wireless links such as USB and firewire to name a few.

10. Price and Quality Wise
Don’t mind the brand; do consider your needs and your objective of purchasing the laptop. Are you a young executive; sales representative or just student please do give consider looking for a reasonable price and good quality devices all in one package. Nevertheless, the combination of nicely compact design and quality in a reasonable price means this is still a very desirable laptop.
