What Are The Major Specs To Check In A Laptop When Getting One?

1. RAM - a minimum of 2gig RAM (depending on ur budget)

2. Processor type and speed- Insist on Intel processors.. I'm not really conversant with the variants but going for Intel is essential. Speed should be 2ghz minimum

3. Hard drive space - minimum of 160gb (depending on budget)

4. DVD ROM5. USB ports (3)6.

5. The screen resolution. Least acceptable is 1366 by768 (which is just above HD). Look for Full HD if you can - 1920 by 1080

6. Screen size. Varies from 11" to 17". Your choice.

7. Battery life. Very important6. Storage. Two choices here. HDD or SSD. Hard disks are much cheaper, but slower than SSDs. If you're going for a hard disk, look for at least 256gb. 500gb is becoming standard though. A 128gb SSD is still more expensive than a 500gb hard disk. Choose wisely.

8. Connectivity. Wifi is standard. The more USB ports the better (newer laptops usually have at least one USB 3 port, which is faster than the more common USB ports). Bluetooth is optional. Bluetooth USB dongles are quite cheap if you need one.

With regard the processor, once you've decided to go for Intel, there are so many options. Diff classes of processors - from the Pentium series, to the M series,to the i series.Best you go for the i series. Three options here - i3, i5 and i7. The higher the number, the more powerful. But it doesn't end there! There are currently 6 generations of these chips. The latest are called"Skylake" 6th gen. Go for something from the 3rd gen upwards. A 6th gen i3 is better than a 2nd gen i5.Be very careful about this. Look out for the processorcode name eg i5-5200u. Do a Google search of the name to learn more about it.

Random Access Memory (RAM)Ideally, 4gb ram should be enough on a budget Laptop,but if you want something more high-end, 8gbwouldn't hurt.- Storage (Hard Drive)A lot of people don't know this, but the speed of a computers's CPU owes a lot to the storage. Small storage equals to minimum performance, large storage equals to maximum performance.CPUThe CPU is basically the brains and heartbeat of a computer.

The overall performance of a computer depends on the processor. If you're an hardcore gamer and money is not an issue, go for Intel core i5& i7 - they are high-end stuff. On a budget however, core i3 is pretty basic, won't give you something extrabut good enough.Graphics ChipIntegrated graphics chip (it shares system memory) should serve you well, if you're not into playing PC games with high graphics, high res video editing or stuffs like that.

A dedicated graphic processor from AMD or Nvidia is necessary however, if you're a gamer. It comes in budget and high end variants.- Blu-ray/DVD DrivesThis is a common feature on most laptops, but you can always buy an external one if yours don't have it. Many mini-laptops don't have in-built DVD drive.- DisplayMost people tend to overlook this, but it's very important. The more PPI you have, the sharper the overall screen resolution becomes.
