Laptop Computers: What to Look For
When deciding upon which laptop is best for you, you need to determine the type of work you will most frequently use your computer to perform. If you plan to use your laptop to check email, browse the internet or listen to music, you don’t need anything too powerful. However, if you plan to travel with your computer, store many files or documents and access information, you want a device with a long battery life, adequate hard-disk space, a memory-card reader, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections. Below are the criteria we used to evaluate laptop computers.


 * Design**

The main purpose of a laptop computer is portability. Each computer offers different dimensions, so it is vital that you look at the device before you buy it to ensure it is not too large. Laptops offer a vast selection of display features. You can find a screen size on one of these devices ranging from 11 inches up to 17 inches. You may find these computers in an assortment of colors from black and brown to bright green or orange. The top laptops are also ENERGY STAR qualified, meaning they have energy-efficient features.


 * Performance**

The best laptops feature a fast processor. You don’t want to wait around all day for files to download or applications to open. You also need a video card and an operating system that performs well and is user friendly.


 * Feature Set**

Several connectivity options such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are most often found in some of the top laptops on the market. In addition, you will find options with a webcam and a built-in microphone for video chats or web conferences. Several laptop computer models also include a few extra features such as a Blu-Ray disc drive or built-in security features.


 * Memory/Battery Life**

The memory and battery life available on your laptop are crucial. Without a large amount of internal memory, you can’t save all your files, applications, music and other content on your device. Most of laptops offer between 2GB and 8GB of RAM memory. In addition, without a long battery life, you may find yourself without power at the most inconvenient times. The best laptops offer up to 7 hours of battery life on a single charge.


 * Support/Warranty**

Wear and tear happens to electronic devices no matter how well you take care of them. Before you buy, look at the warranty for the device. Most computers feature a one-year warranty, but some may offer more, along with extended warranty options. Also, if problems occur, you need a company with customer-service representatives who will help you resolve your issues. Many manufacturers offer email, phone and live chat support for their customers to help them when technical problems arise. If you combine all of these elements into one computing device, you will create the ultimate laptop computer. Portability, design, power, speed and space will all come together to give you the **laptop** that is the best fit for you needs.
