A Short Look at Finding a Laptop

By Joseph Robertson


Determining which laptop to purchase can be troublesome. Searching among the best laptops for college involves researching one or two factors. In this post I am going to simply suggest 4 different classes to consider.

The Desktop Laptop - This category will encompass your more sizable laptops - 17-18" diameter.

- Most powerful laptops
- Most flexible re software capacity
- Transportable compared to a desktop

The Standard Laptop - This category is where a normal laptop will be seen - 15-16" diameter screen.

- This is where the keenest prices are often found - dependent on build quality
- Good power, but retaining mobility
- Capable of running most programs.

The Ultralight Laptop - This category is for the super thin and light laptops in the 13-14" diameter size.

- A touch more dear than the Standard Laptops
- Because of the nature of ultra thin laptops, these are of significantly high quality.
- Able to run a lot of programs - minus more heightened production type programs due to less performance.

The Netbook - These are still laptops, but are quite small and transportable. 8-11" Size.

- Netbooks are Inexpensive and extremely portable. They can be had for 1/4 the cost of a standard laptop.
- Ready to do standard activities like web browsing, e-mail and word processing.
- Unfortunately their build quality is sort of inexpensive - though solid netbooks can be found.
- Not capable to run many programs - the performance of netbooks is a bit less than a laptop (thus the lower price).

These are the basic classes that you will find laptops organized into. Each class has a selection of quality factors and performance that can be found. Price does not always mean the laptop is good, it can be an indicator. The general idea of 'you get what you pay for ' is pretty correct when it comes to laptops.
