How You Can Decide Which Laptop or Notebook is Best for Your Needs?

Before purchasing a laptop careful consideration needs to be given to the specification and not just the cosmetic features and its presentation. Very often the acquisition of your netbook it is made as an impulse purchase and never found to be inadequate until it is used for some time. It is most importan to ensure that the notebook will perform perfectly during the expected use that you'll be putting it to. There is certainly nothing more annoying than a netbook that runs very slowly or constantly crashes and resets!

Different notebook usage scenarios will be considered from the most to the least demanding.Should you want to play the latest games and experience smooth clear vibrant graphics then you'll need an incredibly high specification laptop. Most significantly, the graphics chip or graphics card has to be very fast and contain a large amount of memory. Generally, graphics chips on laptops cannot be upgraded so this needs to be considered when purchasing the notebook. Also you should try to allow for future requirements over several years assuming the laptop isn't to be replaced every year. Next consider RAM; without exception games will run smoother on laptops with large amounts of memory. RAM within the laptop can usually be upgraded because it usually becomes cheaper in the future. Processor speed can be crucial for efficient game playing, again the faster the CPU the better the game will perform. The processor can sometimes be upgraded in laptops. A fast large hard disk is essential for game playing as most games occupy a substantial space on the laptop, this could also usually be upgraded as required. A huge screen size, a full size keyboard, a blue ray DVD drive etc all add to the gaming experience but usually are not usually of prime concern.

If you'll be producing and manipulating video production files then a netbook with loads of RAM, a quick processor and two hard drives must be considered. RAM and fast CPU are necessary to ensure video sequences will be manipulated quickly. An effective but not necessarily a top end graphics chip or graphics card will probably be required to ensure good rendering of modified images. Two hard drives are useful to ensure that the finished video production will be saved to the extra hard disk drive before burning with a DVD. The DVD drive must have a fast burn speed and ideally have blue ray capabilities.

If the main use for the notebook will probably be graphic design or photographic image manipulation then the processor chip, RAM and hard disk capacity needs to be considered. A quick CPU and great deal of RAM is important in order that images an be modified and manipulated. Also a sizable hard disk drive is required as it's going to soon become full with large graphic images. Surprisingly, the graphics chip or lard is less significant than for game playing as the CPU manipulates and changes the image in lieu of the graphics GPU. A big screen size could possibly be desirable since the static images being manipulated would require careful viewing to generate alterations.

If you are going to use the laptop mainly for Internet and emails then any currently available laptop should perform perfectly.

If you are buying the laptop mainly for business use then almost any currently produced notebook is going to be OK, however, you may be able to find one that is included with a choice of business programs free at the time of purchase.

So provided the notebook isn't primarily intended for game playing or graphic design or video applications then almost any currently produced notebook could be OK, however, it is smart to think about future use and upgradability.

I have spent many years successfully repairing and fixing broken laptops and notebooks. Usually a faulty laptop motherboard can be repaired rather than replaced. Laptop repair is not easy but is always a challenge.
