Points to be considered before purchasing a laptop

By: jessica thomtion

Today with fast growing businesses, computers have become a necessity rather than a luxury in an office. A computer is used to store data which could be retrieved at a later date, to remain connected to other branches of an office, and to remain connected to the rest of the world. Further more, today people use a computer for their presentations to their clients. For such presentations, a laptop is a better option, which is found to be very convenient in handling.
But before getting a laptop, also popularly known as a notebook, for yourself, there are a few thing to be considered..
" When you buy a notebook computer, pay special attention to whether the LCD is matt or glossy. Increasingly, manufacturers are offering glossy screens. While these are great for watching movies on your laptop, they're not genuinely recommended for doing traditional office work. The reason for this is that there is a high amount of reflection in glossy screens. In typical office environments, glossy screens can be hard on both your eyes as well as your concentration, as you'll have to work harder to ignore the ambient lighting and background objects that are reflected in your screen. Bottom line is that if you're buying a notebook primarily to get work done and not to watch movies or play games, avoid glossy screens.
" Most notebooks in the today's market come with built-in wireless network connectivity. The trouble which is also considered to be a problem is that many still include yesterday's technology. The wireless transmission standard is about to get a big boost in speed with the official unveiling of the 802.11n standard, which provides Internet and networking connectivity speeds that are about 10 times faster than the wireless standards currently in use. That's a significant speed boost, and it's one you want in your notebook computer, especially because changing the type of wireless connectivity that you have in a notebook is difficult or impossible once you buy the machine.
" Avoid notebooks that offer only the built-in 802.11b or 802.11g wireless cards. Even if the version of 802.11n offered in a notebook sold today is dubbed "draft" or "pre-release", it'll likely still be far faster than the 802.11g standard - and you'll probably be able to upgrade it later, once the standard is finally ratified.
" How well the motherboard of a notebook computer is built will likely determine whether you still own it three years from now or whether it gets sold off for parts. The unfortunate fact is that as competition has forced manufacturers to offer notebooks at rock-bottom prices, quality of exterior construction has suffered.
" Combine a powerful processor, fast hard drive, and hefty battery, and what do you get? Heat - and lots of it. There's a good reason why the laptop has all but disappeared: Some notebook computers are really not suitable for resting on your lap because they get too hot on the underside to hold comfortably. But there are also some notebook computers which are designed for those who wish to work on their lap. That's why it's important to find out just how hot a laptop gets on the underside. Either contact the manufacturer and ask specifically about this or visit a store in which the notebook is running, and feel the underside.
" Noise is less of a problem with notebooks than it once was, but it can still be a factor - especially if you're easily bothered by noise while working. Noise in notebooks generally comes from two sources: the hard drive and the cooling fan. If you want to eliminate the source of hard drive altogether, consider a new notebook with a solid-state drive.
" Laptop repairs and after sale services are something of critical importance when you are taking a decision to buy a new notebook. It is very important that you get after sale services promptly. Because of deterioration in LCD quality these days, you may need laptop screen repair services.
These are few important tips which one should always take care of before purchasing a laptop.
