Looking to buy a laptop?

• Don’t be seduced by super-fast processor speeds unless you’re running graphics-intensive applications such as games or design programs.
• If you are running the software codes, consider for dual core with higher RAM.
• If you want to watch DVDs on the move, buy a laptop with an internal DVD drive. An external drive could be a nuisance if you travel a lot.
• Buy a spare or higher-capacity battery for when you’re not near a plug socket.
• Be prepared to pay extra for software. Even Microsoft Office is absent from many packages.
• Due to their rough life, laptops are more prone to failure making it vital to back up data: a second, external hard drive or pen-drive makes this easier.
• Up-loading digital pictures? You’ll need a memory-card slot (Now a days, all laptops have these slots).
• Buy a decent bag to protect your laptop.
