Buying a notebook computer nowadays has become a lot cheaper as compared to a few years ago. At first, laptops used to cost more than $2000 and that too they did not come with the technical specs we get with computers today. You can now get a laptop for a minimum of $500, but the prices can go up depending on what the computer has to offer.

There are a few things you will have to consider before buying your laptop and it is advisable to make a list of things you want your computer to have. The first thing most people look at when they buy a notebook pc is the memory space of the hard drive. Depending on a persons needs, one may opt for a larger disk space or may just require the minimum disk space offered. Most of the cheaper laptops come with a 120GB to 250GB of hard disk space while the more expensive ones come with 500GB to 1TB (approx 1000GB). But hard Disk space can always be extended since you can change the hard disk and get one with more space.

The processor is the second thing that you will have to look at while buying a notebook computer. A processor will determine the speed of the computer when multiple programs are being run at one time. A computer with a good processor will not lag when there are multiple programs running. The different types of processors that are available in the market are Intel Dual Core, Core2Duo and Quad Core. The dual core processor has a speed of 1 GHz to 1.5 GHz and this is used in most notebook computers. If you are planning to use your laptop only for word documents or chatting with friends, then the dual core is the ideal processor. The Quad Core processor is a high speed processor which can range from 2.5 to 3 GHz, but this is not necessary if you are not going to use your notebook for programming or designing.

The RAM of the computer must also be an important part of your list and depending on your requirements, you can get anything from 1GB RAM to 8GB RAM. A normal, inexpensive notebook computer will come with 1GB or 2GB RAM. The RAM capacity will suggest the speed of your computer and this can also be changed.

Finally, the size of the display screen must be selected. Most notebook computers are priced depending upon the size of the display screen and the processor. A normal sized laptop can range from a 12 inch screen to a 15 inch screen and these computers normally come with a 250GB hard disk having 2GB RAM and are equipped with a Dual Core processor. If you are a frequent traveler and want something small, a 12” is more than enough. A desktop replacement usually has a display that is 17 inches or more.

There you have it. The four most important things to check before you buy a new notebook computer. These four aspects of a computer can vary according to a persons needs and you must choose a computer which has specs that will suit your needs in order to get your money’s worth.
