They key question to answer is: what do I want to do with it?
So how to Choose a Laptop Computer.
Laptop computers can't really substitute for desktop computers, but a good laptop can be a solid and convenient supplement to a desktop model. So, Which laptop should you buy? That's up to you - of course. But here are some of our suggestions.
1. Check the periodic surveys in top computer magazines for comprehensive information about the reliability of specific laptop brands and customer satisfaction with them. Choose a brand based on quality, price and limited warranty.
2. Determine the core configuration you need, including processor and speed, amount of RAM, and hard disk size.
3. Compare weights of units you're considering. Think about how often and how far you'll need to carry the computer and its peripherals.
4. Determine the size of display you want. Remember that bigger screens add to the unit's price, weight and bulk.
5. Choose an ultraportable unit if weight is more important than price, reliability, battery life and ease of use.
6. Get a laptop with a DVD-ROM drive if you would like to watch movies while traveling.
7. Test the comfort and feel of the input device and keyboard. Choose between a touch pad, used by most manufacturers, and the pointing stick (also called the 'command point') used by IBM and Toshiba. Touch pads are more reliable than pointing sticks.
8. Make sure the laptop comes with a lithium-ion battery. Be skeptical of manufacturers' battery-life claims.
9. Decide what preinstalled software you want or need.
10. And finally choose the length of warranty or service coverage you need
