1) First of all decide that why you want to buy a laptop for office use or home.
2) PROCESSOR: Processor is the brain of your laptop. Check that what is the brand of the processor? There are 2 major brands are available Intel and AMD. Now a days Intel is providing Core 2 Duo processor. For the normal use of laptop Intel Core 2 Duo with 2.0 GHz is enough. For heavy gaming and other applications you need a good processor with 2.3 GHz n more. You have to check the speed of the processor also. More speed of the processor gives you a better performance.
3) MEMORY: Memory is depended upon your work. If you are using laptop for normal work like email, spreadsheets, word processing, etc. than 256 MB of RAM should be enough. This is a common configuration for many laptops. But if you want to store photos, you are using different tools than 256MB Ram is not enough. You can buy laptops with 1 GB RAM to 4 GB RAM. Before buying a laptop find out that memory can be upgraded in the future or not. Laptop comes with operating system like windows Vista and XP. These applications are hungry for memory. The more memory the laptop has, the more efficient the laptop will run. The Latest memories based on the SDRAM-DDR2.
4) HARD DISK DRIVES: Before the size of drives are 100 Gig now time is changed. If you will buy small size of hard drive it will definitely save your money. Now a day SATA is very popular in hard drives. The standard sizes are 250GB to 320 GB Hard Drives. SATA ATA is faster than IDE technology.
5) LCD DISPLAY SIZE: Display size of the laptop is very important. It depends upon how long you want to use the laptop. If you're using laptop only in short time than any display size no worries but if you're going to spend hours in front of laptop than I suggest you to order a larger screen. While traveling with the laptop the display size is very important. Today, in market many LCD display sizes available in laptops with different brands. Some LCD displays exceed 17 inches. But these display size can increase your cost. A very easy method of reducing the cost of the laptop is to reduce the size of the screen. LCD resolution starts at 1024 * 768 XGA and higher. This resolution also depends on the size of screen.
6) BATTERY: If you need to have a working laptop on road or in the air than battery plays a big role. Before buying you have to verify how long the battery lasts. Most laptops use Lithium Ion batteries with 6 cells or 9 cells. 9 cells batteries are more expensive than 6 cells.
7) Don’t forget to check the inbuilt Webcam, Mic, USB 2.0, FireWire, Bluetooth, HDMI, DVI ports, WIFI, DVDRW, Blue Ray Drives. All these things are also very important.
8) BRAND OF LAPTOP: There are many options are available in brand. Like Sony, Toshiba, Dell, HP, Acer. All have different features and stories. Some stories are impressive and some are bad. Don’t look at the stories. It can be false also. So before buying always get all the information what you need.

Portable computers are an excellent solution for anyone who needs to be portable and have all of their information on a small computer. When looking at purchasing a portable computer, you will likely hear different stories, some good and some bad. Regardless if the story is good or bad, these stories are always based off of the experience of that user. While it may be true that the user had a bad or terrible experience with that computer, all computer manufacturers have had users who have had a bad experience and there is no such thing as a bad or perfect computer manufacturer.
