I Want to Buy a Laptop. Chris Messenger is a post from: TechGamesBlog.com

The laptop I am currently using is a very old Hewlett-Packard laptop that I was given as a present before I started my A levels; this being about six years ago. At this point in time the laptop was very good, but having played around on some of my friends newer laptops I can see that it definitely does not match up to these laptops, even when it was brand new. At this point in time my laptop is very close to being unusable, and the only reason I am struggling to use it, is because the Sony Vaio laptop that I did have overheated in the summer, resulting in some small components melting.

Well, I recently set out to try and buy myself a laptop so that I can write whilst travelling, have regular access to the Internet (without fiddling with the tiny keys on an overpriced phone) and generally update my operations beyond late 19th century age-of-steam standards. To this end, I have talked to a couple of my more ‘technically minded’ friends and compiled for you a list of three questions that all prospective laptop owners should ask, before you get into anything even remotely technical.

Looking for new laptops is always something I dread, because, although I can use one, I have no clue when it comes to the specifics that make up a good Laptop. But when you are parting with the sorts of money it costs for a brand new laptop you want to make sure you get the best laptop you can, which always means having to know something about these specifics.

3) Is it discontinued? It may be tempting to pick up a second-hand laptop on eBay, just make sure you don’t get a second-rate one by mistake. Many laptop models are discontinued, some after only a couple of years and that means that its repair value will end up being very high indeed. You also run a big risk of not having enough memory to run the state-of-the-art software package you got for Christmas. It’d be like trying to upload the Matrix onto a typewriter.

Of course, you should be absolutely sure that the laptop you eventually do buy suits your needs. There is no point buying a Macbook Pro if all you want is access to the chimp video on Youtube, for example (you know the one I mean!!). I strongly advise making some techie friends as well, yes, they are boring and not usually much to look at either, but they pay for themselves with the money they’ll save you. Trust me.
