A Quick Guide to Choosing the Right Laptop

Being tech-savvy in today’s modern world is no longer an option, but rather a necessity. Our last guide on beautiful accessories that can complete your life as a tech-savvy woman received a lot of positive responses simply because more women are aware – and concerned – about the gadgets they choose to use.

Despite our more capable smartphones and tablets, a good laptop is still a must-have. Unfortunately, picking a laptop isn’t always as straightforward as choosing a smart jewelry or a new phone. To help you get started, here are some of the things to keep in mind when choosing the right laptop to buy.

A Quick Guide to Choosing the Right LaptopPortability

We choose laptops over desktop computers for one main reason: portability. Most laptops are easy to carry around, giving you the freedom to work or study from anywhere you like. Of course, some laptops are more portable than the others.

When choosing the right laptop to buy, ask yourself just how portable you need the device to be. Does the laptop need to be compact enough for everyday travel? Can you tolerate a bit of a weight in exchange for a larger screen or other extra features?

You can pick up an ultraportable laptop like the Apple 12-inch MacBook, but you will have to sacrifice performance a little bit. You can also go for a more capable laptop such as the Asus ROG series, but they are relatively big in size.

Alternatively, you can go for both thanks to laptops such as the Dell XPS 15, but you’ll have to spend more money to get one. Trade-offs, you see?

Performance

Performance is the second aspect to look into. Sure, you want the laptop to be portable, but you still need it to perform well. The level of performance you need depends on the kind of tasks you will be doing when using the device.

For students who are pursuing an online degree from reputable universities such as the University of Southern California or a career woman who only needs a laptop for light tasks, ultra-portables and hybrids are great options.

Ultra-portables normally come with a processor that offers a nice balance between performance and low power consumption. Let’s say you’re trying to earn your online masters in health administration degree and you need to access the EMHA degree online learning platform. Laptops such as a Microsoft Surface Book will do the job perfectly.

Extra Features

Today’s best laptops come with a wide range of extra features. You can find a laptop with a touchscreen, a hybrid 2-in-one design or detachable monitor, support for a stylus, a built-in Dolby-certified audio system, and many other features. Choosing between them is just a matter of finding one that suits your needs and personal preferences best.

Fortunately, you also have resources such as laptop finder and comparison tools to help you. As long as you know exactly what you need and the amount of money you can afford to spend on the new laptop, finding one that’s perfect for every occasion should be very easy to do.
