How To Buy A Laptop Computer

 

Buying a computer can be daunting and this article tells how to buy a laptop computer by reading the specifications. The specifications for most laptops are typically summarized in one line like this:

 

Sony VAIO VGN-CS110E/P 14.1-Inch Laptop (2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium) Pink


Sony VAIO VGN-CS110E/P 14.1-Inch Laptop (2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium) Pink

Let’s take this buying idea one step at a time. First, notice the Brand is Sony. Next, the Make is VAIO and the MODEL# is VGN-CS110E/P

 

This is a Sony VAIO VGN-CS110E/P Laptop Computer. I consider Sony VAIOS to be the MAC of the PC world. They are reliable, easy to use, require little maintenance, and generally have good warranties.

 

The next part of the title is the size of the screen (and the base incidentally). It is a 14.1 inch screen. When picking a screen, ask yourself a serious question: “Am I going to travel with my laptop?” If you answered yes, then the screen size may be part of the deciding factor! The screen size not only determines how easy it is to read the screen. The laptop’s screens size also plays a major part in the battery life, and weight of the laptop. For example, the smaller the screen, the less power the laptop needs to run, and the battery life goes up. The smaller the screen, the less the laptop weighs.

 

The next part of the description tells about the speed and performance of the processor. The processor, also known as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) generally indicates the level of performance you can expect. In this case, it is a 2.0 GHz (Giga-Hertz) processor. That tells you the processing rate of the computer. A faster rate means that more data can flow through the processor at once.

 

The “Core 2 Duo T5800” means that it is a dual core Intel model T5800 processor. Think of two cores as having two motors. One can power one task, the other can power another task, or set of tasks at the same time.

 

Next, there is 3GB (Giga-Bytes) of RAM (Random Access Memory) in the laptop. Think of RAM as a bridge between the hard drive (also a form of memory) and the processor. A good metaphor is a well, a water pipe, and a faucet. The well is the hard drive. There is a vast amount of water there. The pipe from the well to the sink (like the RAM) feed the sink (the processor) with water. A smaller pipe can’t feed water fast enough to keep the sink full. Incidentally, 3 GB of RAM should be plenty for most people at this point. There is a lot of theory out there right now that supports the concept that hardware capability has surpassed software’s needs.

 

Finally, we have the hard drive. 250 GB. That is a lot of storage space!

Next is the Operating System. This one is Vista Premium. Notice that there are several varieties of Vista for home and office. Here’s a little tip, most PCs and Laptops don’t have a real version of the popular Microsoft Office program for free. You have to buy that, so budget that in to the equation.

 

That’s it. Once you’ve figured out how to read one, you’ve figured out how to read them all. After the initial one liner about the computer, it’s basically a mix of smaller functionality that could be your deciding factor. In this case, the chassis in PINK!
