There is a wide variety of laptops on the market and different laptops have different features so that when you are choosing, you need to decide which are important to you. For example, some have webcams and some have microphones but if you want both it is advisable to check carefully, as not all models supply both.
Manufacturers vary in the length of time a laptop battery charge will last in use and depending on features and software already loaded, as well as the software that you plan to add, this difference could be significant. Using a laptop as a simple word processer, with some email managing will give a good long period of work, but downloading video clips or using DVDs will mean using laptop chargers more often.
This is why it is a good idea to have an idea about what you plan to use your laptop for when you go out to choose a new one. If your plan is to mainly use the laptop in the office or at home, where you can use the mains power supply most of the time, then you can choose on the basis of the features and software you want to use.
