6 things to note before buying a laptop

Laptops are getting bigger, but it is true that to find a suitable and affordable device, good configuration is not easy. Here are 6 factors you should keep in mind before opening a laptop to buy a laptop.

1. Weight

The lighter the computer, the easier it is to move around. The price and weight of laptops are often inversely proportional to each other, which means that the lighter the laptop, the more expensive it is. So, if it is very expensive, you can find the lightest laptops - the price is often more expensive than the heaviest computers.

However, at the same time, the price of a laptop gets 'high' up while the weight of the laptop also increases. It is due to the 'close' relationship between laptop weight and features. Increasing the feature also means that the computer must be heavier and bigger. These laptops may have high-end graphics cards or larger screens.

So, when you are looking to buy a laptop, you should evaluate the difference between each one in its weight, be it a light-weight fashion laptop or a 'heavyweight' laptop in terms of features.

2. Battery life

Battery life is a very important factor for users who often have to travel on the road. On average, the average laptop has a battery life of 2.5-3 hours. Laptop is a bit higher for about 4 hours of use.

Laptops with 6-cell and 9-cell batteries have longer backup times. However, the power consumption depends on the manufacturer, each battery model.

Therefore, before deciding to invest for a long time, consider the battery life of each laptop.

3. Configuration

Laptops are often more expensive than desktop computers with the same specifications, and therefore, it is necessary to select the configuration of the machine to suit your current needs and your long-term work.

For those who only work in offices, the average microprocessor, such as the 1-core Celeron chip, is enough to meet the demand. For those who are 'believers' of music, entertainment and those who need powerful computers, they should be equipped with laptops with Core 2 or more chips.

4. Warranty

The warranty period of internal laptops is usually 1 year or more, only 6 months warranty. For imported laptops, the warranty is quite complicated: Users must transfer computers to representative offices in Vietnam or distributors to repair.

The warranty only applies to damaged laptops that are not intentional. Within 1 year, the owner will be replaced free of the parts listed in the first year. After that, the company will treat fees according to the company price list.

5. Operating system

For most users, the operating system is extremely important. If you want to use Windows Vista, the laptop will be more expensive because this laptop must have the most powerful configuration to support the new operating system.

6. Brand issues

It's too easy to find a laptop from non-reputable companies at a very cheap price. However, it is not necessarily that laptops are as expensive as possible. You should consider this when you are looking to buy a laptop because most computer manufacturers that do not have a lack of replacement equipment, poor warranty and unstable configuration.
