[TUT] Guide to buying the right laptop for you [TUT]
#1
Ok as a computer sales man, and a technitian at futurshop, ive been asked this question many times; What laptop should i buy. (oubviously i tell them the one that costs the most is better ( i get more cash XD))

But anyways heres a small guide to help you



For casual people: people who chat, surf the web, word documents ect...

Your best computer of choice will depend on If you will be watching videos or not.

If you are you are better of with a 15.6 inch screen and bigger.

Now if the computers has 4gbs of ram thats all you need.

Now if you are planning on saving alot of things, music, videos, huge files, a big hardrive is needed. Then for you i would go with a 500GB harddrive to a 1TB.

No i wont go into details with videos cards since you wont really be using them much.a computer ranging from the 300, to 600$ price range is perfect for you!

Good computer brand brand names for you would be dell, asus, acer, tosiba.
Remember to always inform yourself on the garantee before hand, and you should play around with the laptop just a bit to be sure you like it. For example the mouse.

A gaming Laptop

Now many people who are looking to buy a gaming laptop usually have an idea what to look for, now heres a few hints, and tips to help yo uout in your next big decission.

What games will you be playing, and what is your budget!

Remember if you are planning on playing games on your laptop, be sure to get a laptop that will play these certain games with a nice smooth framerate

Next is COOLING
Having a computer close down on you in the middle of a game of Starcraft 2 is the most iritating thing ever. Be sure your laptop dosent suffer from overheat

Dont go overboard
If your going to be playing games like counter strike source ( old game)
And you are 100% sure that you wont be better games in the near future, dont get a kick ass 4000$ laptop. That would be useless. Go for what you want with a little extra. Just to be sure

Performance not brandname
This is a problem i also have. Everyone has heard the name alienware. These computers in the 4000$ (fully equiped) are indeed good computers, and with a nice style on them. But out of that 4000$ you will be paying from 1000 - 2000$ in brandname. Go for something a little bit less known. It dosent have to be a company that no one has ever heard before, but dont do the mistake of buying brandname. Im not saying thy are bad. Im just saying the ratio between power and price is much in the favor of price


Well this has been a small brief understanding on what to buy. I will be updating this post and making new posts. If you have any questions go ahead and post them and ill answer them ^^
