                       TO BUY A GOOD LAPTOP YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS

1. RAM: ram simply means random access memory, whenever you want to buy any Laptop be it fairly used of new laptop you have to pay very attention to the Ram. Your laptop utilizes the services of the Ram to process program data. If your Ram is low it can make your system to be very slow especially when you are dealing with a powerful application or if you love playing the latest powerful games.   Most of the Ram in Laptops we use today is measured in gigabyte. 2 gigabyte Ram is good but it depends on what you are doing, but if you will be dealing with powerful applications and software please go with 4GB, 8GB, or even 16GB mostly for gamers. Please don’t buy any laptop below 2GB

2. HARD DRIVES: very important. Hard drive is a destination in your computer where important files and programs like videos, pictures, applications, music, and whole lot of other multimedia contents and software are stored.  Most of the hard drives found in Laptops are measured in gigabyte. Therefore if you will be dealing with a lot music, videos, software please I will advise you to go with a laptop that is not less than 250 Gigabyte.

3. GRAPHIC CARD:  For those of you who love the new generational games a lot, and some who are into multimedia productions.  Graphic card will be of great consign to you. Bear it in mind that you will need the services of a high capacity graphic card to play most of the trending video games we have today like the 3d games.

4. CPU: Pay very attention to the capacity of the processor of the laptop you want to buy AMD E SERIES or Intel Pentium CPUs is what is found in most laptop with low budget but the downside of it is that it will struggle to meet up with the handling and processing of serious multimedia and productivity task, but if you don’t intend to do tangible media work this CPU is a good option.  Intel core M CPU is also a very good option but if you need the best of CPU in the laptop you will be buying I will advise you to go with core i3, core 15, core i7 and others.

5. LAPTOP SIZE:  laptop size is an important factor to consider while buying a new or fairly used laptop. There are many sizes of laptop out there in the market but the preference and choice is yours. If you need a laptop that will be very portable I will suggest you go for laptop with 11 to 12 inch screen which weighs about 2.5 to 3.5 pounds. 13 to 14 inch which weighs about 3.5 to 4.5 pounds, is larger which is balanced in portability and mobility, 15 inch laptop which weighs about 5 to 6.5 pounds cab be a good options because it can be easily carried about, then if you will be using your laptop mostly in the office and will have no need to carry it around I will suggest that you go for 17 to 18 inches. This size of laptop has a better screen resolution but the downside of it is that you cannot easily carry it around.

6. BATTERY LIFE. A lot of people tend to forget about this side while buying a laptop, please don’t forget to check the battery life, especially we in Nigeria who are always faced with the challenges of power supply. Go for laptop with a battery life of about 4 to 6 hours.

7. OPERATING SYSTEM:  you have to consider the operating system you want, I know that almost 87% of laptop owners settled for windows operating system, Mac have a nice operating system but it is mostly for the bigger boys while chrome operating system is also good. I will suggest you settle for windows if you have a low budget and which is very popular and widely used.  Remember to settle down for the latest window 8.1 if your laptop does not come with it. Windows notebook provides business friendly features such as biometric and smart card verification etc.

8. KEYBOARD AND TOUCH PAD: check whether the laptops you want to buy have a good ergonomics by this I mean keyboard with good space and solid tactile feedback.

9. DVD/BLUE RAY DRIVES. These days most of the new generational laptop comes without this feature because most of the software is downloaded from the internet and videos are streamed but for those who are into burning and packaging of DVD and other works you have to consider buying a laptop with good DVD drive.

10. DECIDE ON THE DESIGN: These days we have different new designs of laptop which comes subsequent to the introduction of windows 8.1. We now have a number of hybrid 2-in-1 laptop designs that doubles as tablet. Good example is Yoga pro 3 which have a screen that can bend back 360 with into a slate with removable keyboard. So you have to decide whether to go with traditional notebook or this innovative new generational laptop.

11. BUDGET: this is one of the most important factor that influences all other factors. Remember that a laptop with a high capacity and advanced up to date technological features will cost more than a laptop with n outdated features. But irrespective of that with a low budget you can still get a laptop that can serve you very well it all depends on your ability to detect what you want but if you have money I will advise you to go for the costly ones that has an advanced features. With 67,000 to 75,000 naira you can get a good laptop that can give you what you want.
