What factors do I need to consider when buying a notebook computer?
Really, the first thing is the size of the notebook. Because they come from 12 inch screens, 15 inch, 17 inch screens, and that effects the weight of the computers. So screen size, weight, screen resolution comes into play. Some laptops are small, and they don't have any optical drives to burn CD's or DVD's internally, and you'd have to buy an external one if you choose to burn video. Battery life comes into play, generally speaking, the faster the processor is the lower your battery life is going to be because it does use up a lot of power. Also on the display, you can get displays now with glossy screens, ultra-high resolution, they're really geared for video editing, photograpy, gaming, and also, as I mentioned before, RAM is really important, if you're going to buy a laptop, it's always good to bump up the memory, because generally speaking, the manufacterers don't provide enough RAM for the type of applications that are available, especially a lot of multimedia applications. You see how easy it is to make your own videos, and photography and all that, but sometimes consumers don't get the experience they expected because they don't have enough memory in the computer.
