What Kind of Laptop is Right for Me?

What Kind of Laptop is Right for Me?

4.browsing web pages

Requires minimal CPU, 64MB RAM performs ok, but 128MB better. The speed you are

connecting to the Internet is more important than the speed of the CPU. 56K modems are slow

and DSL or cable are at least ten times faster).

5.moving from home to work

Most laptops weigh around seven pounds. If this is important check out the weight. Laptops with

a smaller display, typically 12.1" weigh less than four pounds.

6.gaming

You should review the Minimum Systems Requirements of the games you play the most. Some

games require a very fast CPU (2 GHz, lots of RAM (maybe 2GB) and a specialized graphics

chip.

7.music

Music does not require much in the way of computing resources. The amount of storage depends

upon how many songs you have. The average song takes about 5MB, so 300 songs would be

1.5GB. 40,000 songs would require 160GB of storage. Most people do not listen regularly to

more than 300 songs?

8.photos

This really depends upon how you operate. If you never delete your bad or old photos then it

might require lots of hard drive space. It also depends if you use the very commonly used .jpg

format or some other format. I recently took a photo of my son pitching in .jpg and it was almost

a megabyte. So, 1000 photos would be a gigabyte. Backup drives are very inexpensive (less

than $100) or you could put the photos you want to save on a CD. The other consideration is

your photo editing software. You need to check out the minimum systems requirements that

describe the hardware and the OS needed for the software you use.
