subject: Balance The Need Of Laptop Configuration [print this page] One of my friends came to ask about how to choose a laptop for his daughter as a gift of the new beginning of the university. Thus there are tens of thousand laptops that make them dazzling. Here provide your some guidelines. Besides the size, the AC adapter (371790-001 AC Adapter),and the brand, here we just talk about the configuration.
First of all, consider how you will actually use the computer. for my friends daughter, she uses it for studying, browsing, watching movies and so on. That is to say, there is no need to get one with massive computing and processing power. If you will be using your notebook for graphic intensive tasks, make sure that you have a good graphics system installed in your computer. At the very least, make sure that your notebook can support 256 MB of video memory, and is at least compatible with Direct X9 or higher.
You need to make sure that you purchase the latest operating system available. The latest operating systems have more updates and bug fixes, which means that the OS will function better. It is not enough that you have an updated OS at the time when you buy the notebook, however. Make sure that you also update the OS regularly.
If you use your notebook for data storage, then you are looking for a notebook that has a good hard drive. Most notebooks today come with at least 250 or 300 GB of hard drive memory. If you regularly download movies and music albums, however, even 300 GB of hard disk space will not be enough.
Computer processor is one of the most important factors that will determine just how fast your computer will be able to compute applications. You will need to have at least 2.5 gigahertz of processing power, or more. Moreover, make sure that your notebook has enough ports for all of your needs. It must have at least two USB ports, VGA ports, HDMI ports, and memory card readers.
Finally the daughter got a HP laptop with 371790-001 AC Adapter, because of the popularity of the brand. Thus, that model can meet her needs in daily study.
