Buying Guide for Laptops, Personal Computers, Notebooks
Are you an executive always scurrying with your suitcase during
business trips? A student always on the go trying to finish as
many projects as possible to gain extra credits? Or a
businessperson always meeting up with your biz partners to
explore more business opportunities?
Are you any of those mentioned category of people? If so,
chances are, you already are carrying what has come to be the
busy person's best friend - a laptop a.k.a. a portable Personal
computer. Or you're just planning to get one. If so, take some
time to digest this guide on which laptop is for you and how to
take care of it.
Here are the various kinds of laptops and their specifications:
1. Ultralights
As monikered, these are the lightest of all the laptops. Also
known as an ultraportable or sub-notebook, if you travel a lot,
you may consider acquiring this kind of laptop since it only
weighs approximately 4 pounds. One drawback that an ultralight
has is its not being able to contain an internal CD drive or a
network card since it has to maintain its weight. This means you
have to bring with you an external CD drive and port replicator.
Also, ultralights come with heftier price tags compared with
other kinds of laptops.
2. Notebooks
The basics of the laptop kingdom belong to the notebook kind.
This type is less heavy though, weighing only about 4 to 6
pounds. Notebooks are a bit heavier than the ultralight but they
offer more features. They are made with a large opening on the
side for a CD drive or extra battery.
3. Standards
Like notebooks, these are considered the same as regular
laptops. But they are a lot heavier than the notebooks weighing
in at 6 to 8 pounds. Cost-effectiveness-wise, standards are
known to give you the best value for your moolah. Big laptop
manufacturers often offer discounts on this kind of laptops
because of their popularity and user-friendliness.
4. Extra Large
These laptops weigh between 8 and 10 pounds. Their screen
measures at least 17 inches. Living up to its name, it also has
a larger keyboard compared to a standard laptop. It is for those
who despise the hassle of a small keyboard. If you don't mind
its weight or you really are not that much of a traveler, this
kind of laptop might be the one for you. You only have to beware
of its heftier price tag.
Depending on your personal preference, you might consider other
factors such as the brand name, in choosing which laptop to
purchase.
Here are a few do's and don't's if you are unsure of how to take
care of your new gizmo:
a. Do not put it on unstable work surfaces.
b. Do not expose it to any kind of moisture, extreme
temperatures, strong electrical or magnetic fields or dirt or
dusty environment.
c. Do not touch or press the display panel.
d. Before cleaning, disconnect first the AC power and remove the
battery pack.
e. Before transporting it, turn it off and detach all external
peripherals. This is to prevent the connectors from getting
damaged.
5. Always always read the instruction books that come with your
new machine. It will provide you with more tips to keep your
hardware and your software operating perfectly!
