There are a lot of factors to check for when we are looking to buy a new laptop. On the other hand, choosing a smartphone is not so difficult as the specs are very common and fewer models available in the market at lower prices.
What to look for actually while picking a laptop?
The most common things people look for when buying a laptop are the processor and the RAM. But most commonly the people prefer good RAM over the processor and more HDD rather than more SSD.
In this article, we will discuss the important things to look for while buying a good laptop.
Processor

When comes to laptops and Personal Computers, users are left with only two choices to pick from Intel Corporation(INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
While most of them use Intel as their primary processors it’s better to choose the latest gen processor as the performance would be increased with the new processors Always
- intel processors order i9 > i7 >i5 > i3

While AMD produces it’s Ryzen series laptops and there is a claim for that AMD is ahead of Intel’s processors in terms of the number of cores and the performance at a significant price range.
- AMD Ryzen 9 > Ryzen 7 > Ryzen 5 > Ryzen 3.

AMD based laptops are available at less count compared to the laptops with intel’s processors. With this basic understanding of the models of processors, it is up to you to select the one which suits you.
RAM (Random Access Memory)

- Ram in laptops ranges from 4GB to 32GB.
- Users often have thought that more RAM ~ more Speed and performance. This is a common misbelief, But it’s not completely false though.
- The RAM and cache have faster access to the processor and of course, more RAM can have good results but the best processor is more important to look for.
- Laptops with good Processors and suitable RAM are way better than the old gen processors with more RAM.
- So when making a choice go for a better processor with preferrable RAM. Remember that even if you buy a laptop with low ram you can extend your RAM capacity later whenever you need it.
SSD and HDD

Well, we often see the laptops have less SDD compared to HDD.
They both are the means to store the data permanently on the drives but what makes them different?
- Speed and Performance are the main factors.
SSD is always having better speed and performance than HDD. There is a nearly 30-40 seconds delay in the booting speed when compared. The access time of HDD is in milliseconds whereas in microseconds for SSD.
Choose the right one with the help of the above insights.
Graphics Card

It’s good to have a minimum of 2GB graphics card and even more if you play games. Nvidia is the preferred brand for graphic cards.
if you are a Gamer you would have to put effort to choose the right one.
Display
Usually, the display doesn’t matter a lot unless you play games and binge-watch the series in high quality. Most of the displays come with good resolution.
These are the technical things to have a look at.
Additional Tips
- Always have a budget of at least ₹2-3k extra so that you don’t miss the best ones for that small amount
- Look for the reviews and ratings on different websites
- When selected a laptop, note the model number and look for the model on different websites as the price may differ.
We didn’t talk about Apple’s Macbooks.
They are just one of a kind and the price range differs a lot compared to other brands.
