Q&A Novice (1 pts.)
When buying a laptop, it is important to decide wisely. Are you looking for a Netbook or a Notebook? Netbooks are generally smaller, about the size of a portable DVD player with a 12 inch screen size or smaller. Notebooks on the other hands are larger, upward to 17 inch screen size. In addition, you must also decide if you want a desktop replacement in which case a 17 inch size would make sense, or if you are going to travel a lot with your laptop in which case I would advise you to aim for a 14 inch or smaller. The 15 inch range would go both ways. The types of task you are going to utilize your laptop for must also be considered. Generally, a 2GHZ dual processor with a 100GB hard drive and 2GB memory is usually enough for word processing, spreadsheet, and general internet usage. A 3 to 4GHZ Core 2 Duo processor and above, with upward of 200GB hard drive and upward of 3GB memory is well suited for extensive computer processing, multi-tasking, and heavy internet usage. Add a 512 MB video/graphic card with a solid Creative Labs Sound Blaster audio card; your laptop is ready for some extreme gaming. To conclude, it would be nice if you could find a deal that offers you a free carrying case and mouse.
