Things to Note before Buying a HP Laptop
Although there are other factors one has to consider before purchasing laptop. I would quickly brief on this one.
- SIZE – Always try to look into the size of the laptop. The modern technologies ensure that gadgets that are more sophisticated should take its simplicity, and integration of its component shows its simplicity. Therefore, the best laptop size you should consider should be at the range of 1-1.5kg, any size exceeding that limit is not proper. Also, look for laptop with screen that ranges from 12.5-14.5 inches.
- SCREEN QUALITY: Do endeavor check the quality of the laptop screen and make sure it has a high quality screen display. Laptops with screen resolution 1920×1080 aka full HD is a good example of a high quality screen display.
- KEYBOARD QUALITY: Laptop keyboard is another factor that needs to be considered. Make sure that the size of the keyboard looks responsive and very comfortable.
- PROCESSOR (CPU): Processor type is one of the major factor one need to check before even thinking of others – Screen, Size, Keyboard and others. I never miss this aspect whenever am going through some laptops to buy. The best performing Processor on laptops ranges between Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7. Make sure that the Processor is of great impact.
- RAM (Random Access Memory): The RAM of the laptop is what determines the speed of the system, as it is also the RAM that helps you run multiple programs at the same time with quality speed. The minimum RAM a good laptop should have is 4GB or higher.
- HARD DISK (HDD): Storage of the laptop all depends on how useful the laptop is to you. If you do want to purchase a laptop mostly for storage and other related activities, then I advise you go for a laptop with a 320GB or higher hard disk.
- BATTERY: The battery life of the laptop is also another factor to be considered when buying a new laptop. Laptop is useless if the battery is bad. Try to check the on the standby time of the laptop. Of course, a good laptop should last at least 5 – 7 hours, so try to check on the battery life of the laptop.
