Six Things About Specification

To choose the best laptop for your needs, the most important thing that you need to consider is the specification. Whether you like it or not, the most important thing from computers is always the specification. Now, let’s see what you really need:

1. Processor: It’s always expensive to buy a new-released processor. However, processor determines the speed of your computer. These days most new laptops use Intel Core 2 Duo as their processor. You don’t need a laptop with processor speed more than 2 GHz for daily works like internet surfing or word processing.

2. Memory: Talking about memory, this is one of the most vital parts inside your laptop. For better gaming experience, of course you need a memory with minimum 1GB RAM. I even think 2GB is a very common memory for gamers. But if you are not a gamer, 512MB is still enough.

3. Hard disk capacity: Well, you need a new laptop with massive data storage. 120 GB hard drive is sufficient but I think for gamers you need at least 200 GB or even more.

4. Graphics Card: Now this can be really important. Newer graphics cards are always more expensive but they are really worth it unless you are not a gamer. If you do not want to play any games, don’t choose any laptop with expensive graphics card. Usually mediocre laptops use Intel GMA X3100

5. Monitor: Another important part. Monitor size and screen resolution are two important things that you need to consider before buying a laptop. Of course hardcore gamers always need bigger monitor size and better screen resolution. For travelers, a laptop with smaller monitor is much needed.

6. Ports: Try to find a laptop with minimum three USB ports because you will need it in long run. A FireWire port is also needed. If you can find a laptop with an eSATA port, it would be much better. But usually a laptop with eSATA port is more expensive than normal laptops.

In overall: I want to say that specification is always more important than strong brand name and casing design. Some laptops can be really expensive because they look beautiful despite their specification are not good enough. Everything depends on your preferable style but I believe specification is always more important.
