We all have, or will require a laptop, at some time in our lives!
Unfortunately, due to the hundreds and thousands of laptops, available in the market, purchasing a laptop has become more difficult, than it should be!
Large corporations, such as HP, Dell, and Lenovo, sell a wide range of laptops!
In this video, we will go through, some of the most important factors to consider, before buying a laptop!

So let's get started with this video, and take a look at five important factors to consider, when buying a laptop!
1st factor!
Screen Quality!
If you're like most of us, you'll spend hours each day, staring at your laptop screen!
As a result, choose a laptop with a bright, easy-to-read screen!
Keep in mind, that shinier screens tend to reflect ambient light, so keep that in mind!
Also, keep in mind, that touch screen laptops have glossy screens, so evaluate the benefits and drawbacks!
Depending on how you will use your laptop, screen resolution will also be important!
1920×1080 is a full HD screen!
This will give you great image quality, and plenty of room to keep your windows in view!
Finally, when looking into laptop screen options, it's a good idea to visit a computer store, and explore them in person!
Technical specifications, do not always accurately reflect, the actual user experience!
2nd Factor
It is better to have more RAM!
RAM, (random access memory), is key to computer performance, especially if you do lots of multitasking on your laptop – Like edit photos, write word docs, and browse the web all at once!
The more RAM you have, the faster your laptop will be able to access data, and the more applications you can run smoothly, at any one time!
4GB of RAM is the minimum!
If you use lots of high-power software, look for 8GB or more!
Even if you are looking for a laptop in a more affordable category, always consider a machine, that has more RAM, compared to others!
3rd Factor!
The CPU!
Think of the CPU, (central processing unit), as the heart of your laptop!
When it comes to processors, Intel's Core-based range is unmatched!
Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 processors, will most likely be found in new laptops!
You will find Core i3 in entry-level laptops.
You will find Core i5 in the majority of mid-range laptops.
Core i7 processors are found in higher-end laptops!
While the Core i7 provides the finest performance, it can generate a lot of heat, from the device's bottom!
If you plan to use your laptop on your lap, keep this in mind!
4th Factor!
The Storage!
You'll need to think about, not only the amount of storage, but also the type of storage as well!
Hard disc drives, were the most popular, back in the day!
Hard drives are becoming less popular, as slimmer, lighter laptops are in the fashion!
Solid-state drives, on the other hand, are faster, quieter, and, you guessed it, more expensive!
If you're not sure, whether a hard disc or a solid-state drive, is right for you, check out our blog post, Hard Disk Drive vs Solid State Drive!
What's the Difference?
This is a good place to begin.
What you use your laptop for, will determine, how much storage space you have!
A laptop with a solid-state drive, is recommended!
SSD will provide faster speeds, and a faster laptop overall!
5th Factor!
The Size!
A laptop's ability to fit into a laptop bag, and travel the world with you, is one of its best features!
If portability is a concern, you should look for laptops, with smaller screen sizes, and a thin lightweight design!
Ultrabooks are a term used to describe these types of laptops, so keep an eye out for them!
Alternatively, look for a device with a screen size of 12 to 13.3 inches, and a weight of less than, 1.5 kilograms!
One more factor with the size is USB Ports!
If you want to plug in and use peripheral devices, like external hard drives, mouse, and keyboards, USB 3.0 ports, are a must-have, on a new laptop!
Some new devices, such as the new MacBook Pros, lack USB 3.0 ports!
Before you make a purchase, keep this in mind!
Now that you have all of the necessary information, you can go into any store, or browse any website, to find the laptop that best suits your needs!
Because each person is unique, make sure you think about all of the important factors, that go into a laptop!
So there you have it!
