Thinking of getting for yourself a notebook?

Here are 10 tips that you might have to know before buying one!

Based on my personal experience;

1) Processor Type -Intel or AMD depending on preference.

2) RAM Size - Minimum of 1G and more for latest Windows Vista Operating System.

3) DVD Write Combo - To backup your files in DVD format.( If there is a lightscribe capability it is considered good but if there is a Blu-Ray feature, it is definitely better)

4) Wi-Fi - To surf internet wirelessly.

5) Hard Disk Drive - Minimum of 80G is good enough for the novice.

6) 4 hours Battery Life- Minimum requirement for Off-Socket usage.

7) InBuilt Webcam - Video Conferencing, MSN Messaging,Skype.

8) Graphic Card - Dedicated or Stand alone type ( applicable for Gamers only).

9) USB Ports - Minimum 3. (for Mouse,Thumbdrive & Coolerfan).

10) Last but not least - Weight - Look for something less than 1.7kg to lighten your load especially for the ladies .I recommend a 12" TFT instead of a 14" TFT screen for you!
