How to Shop for Laptop Computers
Networking Club information and recommendations will assist club
members when making laptop computer purchase decisions.
With more online libraries, tutorials, reading assignments, homework, tests and lecture
sessions the average university student has to have computer access on a 24/7 basis.
This is just to keep up with the class assignments. Most web research, social
networking and games are done in addition to the university study workload.
Laptop computers are almost mandatory for some university students that require
computing power when in the lab, tutorial or interactive live sessions. The
analysis-packages for database, math, engineering, statistics and financial numbers are
areas where laptops offer students advantages when used "live".
When making a laptop purchase decision students have to consider features and battery
life. Generally, laptop processors are less powerful than desktops but are capable of
the same tasks as desktop computers. They contain components that are similar to desktops
but are optimized for mobile use and efficient power consumption. Laptops usually have
liquid crystal displays and most of them use different RAM memory modules. Laptops have
built-in keyboards with touchpad or a pointing stick for input.
When making a laptop purchase decision students have to consider price and repair costs.
Laptops' upgradability is severely limited and there is no industry wide standard for
laptops. Each of the 35 major laptop manufacturers pursue their own proprietary design
and construction process. Repairs happen much more frequently with laptops.
Ultraportable laptops have screens typically less than 12 inches diagonally and a weight
of less than 1.7kg. Ultraportables are very expensive and house power-saving CPUs.
Thin-and-light laptops usually weigh between 1.8kg and 2.8kg with a diagonal screen size
of 14 inches.
Medium-sized laptops usually have diagonal screens of 15 inches and a weight of around
3-3.5kg.
Laptops have been mass produced with new models and capabilities every six months for
over the last 20 years. There are several business men that use laptops when traveling
and trade these almost new laptops every 2 or three years. It is possible to obtain a
$3,000 to 4,000 almost new laptop for under $500 from the leasing companies and computer
service organizations that maintain them. Many of these computers have a good 2 or 3
years of useful service life for university students.
