How to Choose a Laptop for the Best Windows Experience

Laptops are a popular choice for people looking to get a new computer. They offer several benefits over desktop computers such as being portable, using less electricity, taking up less space and oftentimes being more affordable. They come in many different sizes, price points and designs, as well.

Points to be Remembered Before Buying New Laptop

Unfortunately, all of these potential options make choosing the best Windows laptop a tough decision. Not only are there dozens of options, but there are also new ones coming out every year. In an effort to make your decision a little easier, this article is going to go over how to choose a laptop for the best Windows experience.

1. Check Out Online Reviews

One of the first things to do when looking to get a new laptop is check out some online reviews. These reviews can be great and go over a lot of the important aspects of a laptop, as well as how it performs. For example, this Lenovo N23 Windows review goes over the pros, cons, features and more in an effort to help you make an informed decision.

Reviews are great for seeing how actual users would rate the laptop in terms of how it has performed for them. Without checking the reviews, you may miss some crucial elements of a particular computer that could impact performance. While your choice should not solely be made on checking reviews, they can be great for learning a little more about an option, from those who have used it.

In addition to written reviews, checking out video reviews can also be a good idea to see more closely how the computer works, how quick it is, how it sounds and more.

2. Consider the Specs

While how a laptop looks is important, it is the internal specs that will generally help us choose the right one. These will influence how well the computer performs, the quality of the graphics, how fast it is and even how long it lasts.

There are many important specs you need to consider and look at. These include the processor, the storage space, the screen resolution,  the RAM, the graphics card and the battery life. Some laptops will offer strong specs in all categories, while others will focus on a few certain specs.

Now, good specs are great, but not everyone needs a top-of-the-line laptop with the best of the best. If you simply use your computer for browsing the internet and taking notes in class, you can likely go light on the specs. On the other hand, if you are doing some intense video editing, or playing graphically-intensive games, you may want to ensure you get specs capable of handling that.

3. Choose the Right Size

While what is inside the laptop is important, don’t disregard what is on the outside. The physical size of the laptop and screen is another important thing to think about. Laptops come in a variety of sizes ranging from as little as 11 inches, to as large as 17 inches or more. Some laptops are also very thin, while others need to remain thicker for ports of CD drives.

There is no right or wrong size, and the best choice for you depends on your needs. Smaller laptops are obviously more portable, but have smaller screens which some may not like. Larger laptops might be easier to see and use for some people, but are challenging to carry around all day.

So if you plan to work on the go in coffee shops and outdoors, a smaller laptop will generally be lighter and easier to move, and simpler to store in a bag. But if the laptop is going to remain on a desk and not get moved a lot, a larger laptop isn’t a bad idea.

4. Don’t Forget About Battery Life

Because laptops are usually used on the go or around the office or home, it is important for them to have a strong battery life. So before deciding which laptop to buy, you need to look at the battery life that it offers. This ranges from company to company, and even model to model. It can depend on the battery used and it’s capacity, but also how much battery the computer uses.

Laptop battery life can often be as little as a couple hours, up to well over 10 hours on a single charge. While not everyone needs a battery that lasts all day, having one that only lasts two or three hours can really limit the portability of your device.

Of course, if your laptop will sit on your desk and never move, battery life might not have that large an impact. But if you use it anywhere else, you want a device with a strong battery so you don’t constantly need to worry about where you will be able to get your next charge.

Also, it is important to know that a battery will drain faster when you are doing more intensive tasks such as watching videos, gaming or editing videos, and often go slower when you are writing in documents or browsing the internet.

In conclusion

we hope this article has been able to help you choose a laptop that can offer you the best Windows experience possible. By checking out online reviews, and considering both the specs and size of the device, you will be able to ensure you get the right laptop for your needs.
