If you’re in the market for a brand new laptop, you’ll definitely want to scout around and find the ideal computer hardware for your needs. Although laptops  come in all shapes and sizes, the following tips should guide you well enough to make a smart purchase.

The first thing you need to be sure of is your laptops’s technical specifications. You should get exactly what you need to match your activities, not more, and not less. For example, you need totally different machine if you’re just planning to use it for work related purposes, as opposed to letting your notebooks be the center of your home entertainment system.

Different applications need different type of notebooks, and getting more than what you need is literally a waste of money. However if you get less than what you need, it causes frustration and time-wasting.

The first thing you need to consider is the Central Processing Unit or CPU; it is the “brains” of your laptop. Generally speaking a faster CPU is better as it will reduce loading and processing time, but there is a choice between Intel processors, or the rest.

The size of your laptop screen and the overall weight is also important. If you’re a woman or just prefer lighter loads, go for thinner ones than weight less than 1.2kg - these are usually on the higher price range but it will be worth the money, and the lack of tired nights!

Equally important is the warranty length, and additional service details. Generally speaking most laptops come with standard one-year warranty, but companies like Fujitsu also offer “extended” three-year warranties and on-site repairs. If you get this as an option, it means that when your laptop breaks down you get someone come over to repair it at your place. Expect a premium for the “on-site” repairs, but extended warranties are quickly becoming standard items and you should look out for for laptop models that offer them at no additional cost.

As for personal choice, I prefer Lenovo notebooks, especially the Lenovo Thinkpad series that is both affordable and sufficient for high-end processing. Ideally, any laptop you get should be good enough to get you through the next four years without needing an upgrade or replacement. Not many laptops live up to that promise though, so shop for your notebook wisely!
