Tips and Guide to Buy Laptop

Choosing a laptop can be said to be tricky, especially for those still clueless (stuttering technology) world of computers. For most users were sometimes older laptops still puzzled by the choice of critical components of the laptop. To help you choose the best choice of laptop, Buying Guide will share tips on buying a laptop based on the components in the laptop. Some of the tips below are likely to be no change in the technology curve.

Brand: Choose brand means selecting the 'image' products and service centers. Each brand also usually have special characteristics (Positioning), where the focus of the brand. However, for a computer brand, the average focus in various fields. Still, we can know the main advantages of the brand products, such as for example; Famous Asus IceCool so that it remains comfortable to use over long periods. Fujitsu is famous for its serious products so that the average laptop has quality components and materials, and high durability. Acer is known for its affordable prices but higher specification than competitors. Toshiba is famous for its durability when it fell with a good security system. Lenovo ThinkPad laptops known as a businessman so durable materials and excellent structure.

Screen Size: It deals with the needs and habits. Screen 10 "suitable for mobile use because of the size of a laptop that is smaller and lighter weight of course. Screen 11 ", 12", and 13 "is still suitable for traveling, TSB measurements are usually very limited choice and higher cost than the standard size laptop 14". Screen 15 "and higher are suitable for those who need a laptop for multimedia and entertainment such as gaming, watching movies FullHD, etc. The habit is also very influential in the convenience of using a laptop, they usually use a small screen 11 "will feel a little bit tired when I have to face the big screen 15", and vice versa.

Weights: Weights associated with mobile needs, the more light it will be more easier for us to travel. In the market, in general, the price of laptops with lighter weights will be higher. Currently let alone been unseasonably Ultrabook usually lightweight and slim dimensions. Ultrabook Price starts from 6 million, compared with a regular laptop that starts at 3 million. The difference in weight would have less impact if use laptop mostly at home that do not need to carry around. The difference in weight is closely related to the size of the screen, the small screen will be even lighter weight.

Design: Well, it's a matter of taste. Opinions about the laptop will not always be the same from one person to another. So back to ourselves, yet we are going to use as well.
Main Components: Go to the affairs of the components that many of us do not know what is good what is not. With the following guide hopefully you will be understood to define specifications for the laptop.

Processor: Manufacturers laptop processors currently only two are Intel and AMD. Laptop with a choice of Intel processors more so that it easier to choose. Both Intel and AMD have a processor version of the Low Voltage power efficient processor clockspeed lowered. Low Voltage processors intended for use in the Ultrabook will save battery life and ultimately live longer to take the mobile. To compare the processor easiest is to look at the order of the benchmark scores benchmark provider of data on the website. Can you visit notebookcheck.net, CPUbenchmark.com, or could be in idbrains.com/processor the page laod lighter. For details you should immediately visit a website benchmark.

RAM: Most RAM is easy to choose which one is the bigger the better. Other benchmarks is a type of RAM or RAM Speed. Most laptops still use DDR3 RAM PC 10600. PC 16000. No other type Most laptops today are equipped with at least 2 GB of RAM, and this is enough for their daily needs. While the use of laptops for gaming and design, should be upgraded to 4 GB or 8 GB. Usually there are only 2 SODIMM slots fruit on a laptop, so you can add one more chip RAM in one slot is empty. To get dual channel, you should use the same RAM with an existing one, or can replace it with the one type and brand.

Graphics Card: VGA required for graphics-related activities such as video, gaming, and design. All laptops today would have been equipped with VGA on board in the processor. For more serious laptop, there is an additional VGA dedicated. 2 VGA to laptop manufacturers today are NVIDIA and ATI. NVIDIA is usually used in Intel processors and ATI used in AMD processors, but many laptops that use Intel processors in the ATI cards.
To see which one is better VGA then can look at the order or rank VGA that has been created by a benchmark like notebookcheck.net website.

Hard Disk: Laptop using average speed 5400rpm HDD. Especially for the more serious laptop (business, gaming, etc.) usually use the HDD 7200rpm speed. For hard disk capacity, bigger definitely is better.

SSD (Solid State Disk): The discovery of a pretty horrendous because it can increase drastically computers and laptops just to capitalize SSD. SSD-like Hard Disk 2.5 "and can easily replace the standard laptop HDD. To Ultrabook, usually using either the SSD as primary storage or simply as an auxiliary Hard Disk. SSD capacity is still limited and that too at a high enough price. For a capacity of 128GB, SSD prices are sold separately still above 1 million.

Battery: Usually just use the standard amount of Cell aka not see the capacity in mAh. Generally laptops use batteries 6 Cell and 4 Cell. For some serious laptops, typically using up to 9 Cell. 4 Cell battery typically used in Ultrabook and notebook thin dimension.

Keyboard: In simplicity, there are two current keyboard design is a classic design and chiclet. There are some people who are more comfortable typing on the keyboard is a classic design with large buttons, some are more comfortable using a keyboard chiclet. In some specific brands, use the keyboard as splash resistant technology in Lenovo Thinkpad, Fujitsu, and HP specific types. To truly test stand is a ThinkPad with water flushing can last. For standard users, it's waterproof feature is not needed because laptops are not generally used in conditions that are too extreme. Until recently, most comfortable keyboard according to many people is a series of ThinkPad.

Touchpad: Noteworthy is the touchpad dimensions, generally larger, more comfortable. Also the technology used as multigesture etc. The more features the better, but for some people also even troublesome. Button click is also a concern because it is too hard so uncomfortable. How to know the touchpad is good or not? By attempting to test the products, if any, or by reading user reviews on the specific forums or websites. Solution if the touchpad and button clicks are not comfortable using the mouse.

Speaker: Need to look at is the technology used and the use of components from any vendor. The most famous is no Bang Olfusen, Altec Lansing, Sonic Master, Harman Kardon, and Beats Sound.

Camera: The camera includes an important component for many users because it is used for video chat or just a self-portrait. Usually not so described in the specification details on the camera because it's like the term 'essential there'. Usually the more expensive the camera the laptop will be the better the quality. If you can, find the detail resolution of the camera, is 0.3 MP, 1.3 MP or 2 MP.

Interface: Laptop is currently on average provide a fairly complete interface slot despite eliminating PCMIA and Express Card. Noteworthy is that if the laptop is to be purchased thin design and also the type of ultrabook. Usually fewer slots even eliminate some. Consider the explanation of each of the following interfaces.

USB 2.0: Still widely used in laptops, in seriously high-priced laptops, USB 2.0 is completely eliminated replaced USB 3.0.

USB 3.0: On the laptop affordable to medium typically provides only 1 slot USB 3.0 to 2 pieces. For the long term, the presence of USB 3.0 definitely better, but if no one else is safe until the next 2-3 years before eventually replace the new laptop. USB 3.0 transfer speed of USB 2.0 is 10x.

HDMI: HDMI is typically used for multimedia purposes. Connecting a laptop to a TV LED, LCD, or Plasma that has a HDMI interface. Almost all standard laptops already provide this slot.

VGA / Mini VGA: Used to connect a laptop to a second monitor or projector. In some ultrabook is only available Mini VGA Adapter Mini VGA so it is necessary to VGA projector to be used in general.

LAN: Spelled most rarely used for most users. Almost all standard laptop providing this slot. So do not be confused by this because most components are already using WiFi.

Optical Drive: Nearly all laptops notebook category provides Optic Drive just a few laptops that do not provide. Ultrabooks and netbooks in general does not have an internal drive Optic Optic so have to use an external drive for start of 250 thousand dollars. Optic Drive is used to play a DVD or CD, or a movie can be software, drivers, and operating systems. Serious in high-priced laptops, Optical Drives usually can rotate pieces BlueRay.
Bluetooth: Bluetooth must exist for some people, although it can use the data cable as an alternative. The reason people are no longer using bluetooth is due to the relatively slow transfer speed.

Card Reader: Almost all laptops provide this feature. Its usefulness was largely replaced by the use of a data cable. Some brands have readernya frequent complaints that the card is damaged, the solution can use an external card reader that has a very affordable price with better quality than the default laptop.

WiFi: All laptops today must have feature WiFi, and network technologies already in B, G, and N. So do not be confused about this feature.

Cooling System: Need to look at is the location of the sewer heat, even though it's been nothing put on the right of the laptop as it used to. Some brands of laptop heat complaints by users, to find a laptop cooling system is good or not is by reading user reviews. For some well-known brands with good cooling like Asus, Fujitsu, and Lenovo is also no case a fast heat.

Aperture Angle Display: There are not many laptop screen that can be opened 180 degrees. The average score of all laptops have the same opening angle of the screen. For those who want a 180 degree screen openings can lyrics Lenovo Thinkpad series. Zyrex used to also have a 180-degree screen openings although locally assembled product.

Operating Systems: When considering the price of the laptop, also a good idea to calculate the operating system. Laptops are frequently included in the operating system, although the lower classes is the Toshiba laptop. Other brands are also usually included in the operating system sales. Keep in mind that the price of the Windows operating system is not exactly cheap for most people of Indonesia. Mindset free operating system, aka non-original has been removed from the head of our time. So when buying a laptop make sure that we are going to use the native operating system. If you want Windows, the option is now there are Windows 7 and Windows 8. More recommended to use Windows 8 as it is faster and efficient, in addition to a much more affordable price than Windows 7.

If you want a truly free and open source it can be used with various distributions of Linux. Distributions are most widely used today is Ubuntu. For some people using Linux is still very difficult, is not one of us, because it is almost all devices only include drivers for Windows and Mac OS. Manggunakan Linux will expand computer learning as they often find it difficult and in the end we find a solution.

Thus the explanation of each important component on the laptop, the more often we seek information and compare the laptop with the other laptop, will increasingly understand about the specifications of the laptop.
