10 things to keep in mind when buying a laptop
1. Size: If the main thing when buying a laptop is to carry, then buying a notebook is appropriate. When buying a notebook, you need to look at the weight of the notebook. It is best to buy any laptop that is marked as Ultrabook because it is as light as it is narrow. Laptops with a screen size of 12.5-13.3 usually weigh between 1 and 1.5 kg. However, you will not get an ultrabook at a moderate price (35 to 40 thousand rupees). A 15.6-inch screen laptop can be a standard size notebook.
2. Screen quality: Since you always have to look at the screen of the laptop, you should buy a laptop with a screen so that the screen fits you. Another important aspect of the screen is to buy a laptop based on its resolution. In this case, the screen of 1920x1080 pixels is considered ideal for all tasks. And at the time of purchase, you must take a look at the laptop. If the screen does not reflect light, it will be good to run anywhere.
3. Keyboard: The type of keyboard the buyer feels comfortable with must buy the laptop with the keyboard. When buying, make sure that the keyboard has a backlit. Laptop buttons can be seen even in the dark if there is a backlit. Nowadays, the keyboard of a mid-priced laptop also has lights.
4. CPUs and graphics: Intel's Core i series CPUs / processors are more popular in the market now because they can do different things at the same time. In general, it is better to buy laptops with Core i7 CPU as it provides a good service for general use. If the budget is in the middle, you can also take a laptop with Core i5 or Core i3 processor.
And in the case of graphics, if you don't usually do video editing, 3D graphics, and heavy games, then a laptop with a separate graphics card will work even if you don't have one. And if you work in graphics and play high-end games, you will need a graphics chip. In this case, if you are within a reasonable budget, you can get a laptop with Nvidia GTX 1050 to 1080 (higher price) or a more modern graphics card. That's why you can see the Asus gaming laptop ROG Streaks Scar Edition. If your budget is high, then Asus ROG Zefras may be your best choice gaming or high-config laptop.
5. RAM: You must buy a laptop with 4 GB or more of RAM if you want to run your laptop comfortably and smoothly.
6. Hard Drive: Laptop hard drives should be bought more visually so that you do not have to suffer from lack of space to store the necessary information later. 650 GB hard disk space is not bad, what do you say? Conventional hard disks become slower over time. If you can increase the budget a bit, you can take SSD storage instead of hard disk. 250 GB SSD storage costs around Rs 6,000, while a 500 GB hard disk will cost around Rs 3,000.
7. Battery: You should buy a laptop battery based on the rating given on the laptop battery. Batteries that have 44Wh or 50Wh written on them can save a long time. At present battery technology has been developed. Check the official document of the laptop to be sure about its battery backup time. It can be different according to your needs. However, it is better to have a backup of 6 to 8 hours.
8. Wireless connection and Bluetooth: You need to buy a laptop to see the power of Wi-Fi adapter so that wireless network can be run smoothly. The dual band adapters that are available are of good quality. In the case of Bluetooth, Bluetooth 4.o is now reliable in the market.
9. Port of full size SD card: It is necessary to insert SD card in laptop a lot of times. Therefore, it should be checked whether the laptop has an SD card slot.
10. USB 3.0: Data can be transferred through USB 3 port faster than USB 2. Therefore, it should be checked whether the laptop ports are USB 3. However, most laptops now have USB 2 and USB 3 ports.
If all these things match the budget then the most convenient laptop should be bought. However, the budget may not always match. For this reason, the buyer may have to give a discount on any issue.
