What to Know Before Buying a Laptop

in #technology7 years ago (edited)

In today's era, computers have become part of our daily life as one of the essential components. And as a portable computer, we prefer laptops to the desktop. And when buying a laptop for personal or office work, the laptop should be taken care of several things. And in today's post I try to highlight these issues before you. So let's see..

Battery life

While buying a laptop, it's important to keep in mind the important thing. When purchasing a laptop, the battery life given by the company is kept as a minimum and you can calculate according to your needs, only then you can buy a laptop. Suppose it takes about 40 to 60 minutes to go office from your home and in this time you want to have a report ready. Again,suppose lounge time is 1 hour, you want to browsing and read newspapers in the nets, on the other hand, on the way back from the office you want to browsing Facebook. In all, you need to run your laptop for 4/5 hours a day, so be sure to backup your laptop if you can buy it. But if you have a chance to run a laptop in a charging or electricity, do not run the laptop in unnecessary battery, and refrain from running any software that is running the heavy-duty laptop or battery while running the laptop.

When purchasing a laptop, check the laptop battery charge, charging speed, battery type (Nica, NiMH or Li-ion), battery manufactures brand, battery voltage and battery mAH.

Display

On each portable computer the display unit is connected to the keypad. Before buying a laptop, there should be an idea about its display. Firstly you choose your required display size. If it is too small, it will be difficult to work and if it is larger than size it will be cut to carry. In addition to the size, the display technology and quality should be kept in mind as well. Usually laptops with smaller display in the market are relatively less expensive.

Considering the dimensional size and screen size of the display screen, then the laptop should be bought. The dimensional size means the display's density. For example, the dimensional size of previous era CRT monitors was much higher. That is, the less the dimensional size the display will be as thin as the display.
Besides, it will also see the maximum resolution of the display. High quality resolutions will give you a great user interface, but keep in mind that the bigger resolution PC Slow and image quality can be bad.

15 "800 x 600 or 1, 024 x 768
17 "1, 280 x 1, 024
19" 1, 280 x 1024
21" - 1, 600 x 1, 200

This is the size of the screen, the Vertical Sandal Resolutions Quality. Now if you use 1600 x 1200 resolution in 15-inch monitor, maybe it will not be supported or the picture quality will be much smaller and uneven.

Drives

Many times when we buy a laptop, we do not see its drives. This is a wrong move. Laptops are given various types of drives. Such as DVD ROM drive, floppy drive, USB drive, 3.1 headphone jack etc. You can see the absence of these drives on many laptops for weight and size thin. However, you will have to check if all the drives are in the laptop before buying the laptop.

Hard disk is one of the most important components of laptops. The capability of the data on the laptop depends on the size of this hard disk. So, before buying a laptop, understand the size of its hard disk. To get the laptop at a lower price, you bought a laptop with a low-sized hard disk, but after a few days your hard disk was filled in your data, but you have to take the help of another portable hard disk and the cost is doubled. Not just size, you should check the speed of the data copy speed of the hard disk before you buy. Because the speed of the hard drive has a direct impact on the overall speed of your laptop.

RAM

Direct performance will depend on this RAM. So when you buy a laptop, you can check whether it has the right and appropriate rate of RAM. Because on the desktop computer we can change ram very easily but it is a very difficult to do in laptops. So first decide what to do with laptops and then select the laptop with the right RAM for your work. Keep in mind that RAM, processor and motherboard three are similar.

The overall speed of your laptop depends on the speed of the processor, and the cost of laptops is higher on the processor's speed and speed. So, in this case, buy the correct speed processor laptop as you need. Processor's brand, clock speed, gigaherge speed and cooling system make sure you have these things and then buy a laptop.

Graphics card

Sometime we do not give importance to the graphics cards. For video rendering , video editing and playing heavy games a laptop must have a strong graphics card. In this case, make sure that you have any GPU in your laptop, either internal or external. Internal GPUs are built on the motherboard and they are not very powerful, but on the other hand the external GPU laptops are offered separately and they can give you strong performance.
Keep in mind that the powerful GPU laptops will not be able to back you up to a long battery. Because the power of the CPU is run on the graphics card more than the CPU.

Keyboard Quality

Laptop keyboards are usually a little better quality and they are unplugged, so before buying a laptop, its keyboard quality should be checked. And for long typing, you can buy a separate USB keyboard without using the laptop keyboard directly. Also, check the keys on your laptop keyboard.

Selecting platfrom

Which platform laptop do you want? Windows, Mac or Chrome OS? Is not it confusing? Windows based operating systems laptops are much more popular because Windows OS is relatively easy to operate. On the other hand, Mac OS is available only on MacBook laptops. And you will see Windows 10 OS offered in the current Windows laptops. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you want to buy a laptop with a touchscreen facility, you will have to buy Windows Virtual Laptops because no MacBook has been released on the market with the touchscreen feature.

Many laptops also offer different features. They will also check whether they are fit or not before buying a laptop. And yes, last time you can check the service and warranty on the laptop. Before coming to your home, you will also need to check with the necessary Jack and Motherboard Disc. Before using the new laptop, the laptop should be full charged. And if the laptop battery is not complete, refrain from charging.

Thank you very much for reading my post.

Hello @apuvai152, We have met 2 times already!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

  • If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
    Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
  • So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
  • If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
  • If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
  • If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶
