Buying a new laptop?

What to look for in a laptop?
Battery life
Battery life is an important aspect to consider when buying a laptop for college. The last thing you want is for your laptop to die in the middle of a lecture of when doing important college work that now could be lost.The key is finding a laptop with a good battery life and one which looks aesthetically pleasing at the same time. With my laptop I choose to use the power saver power plan in order to maximize battery life.

Wireless Connection
A wireless connection is essential to any laptop. A laptop without wireless is pointless and there is no point spending more money for a wireless broadband add on, when you can find laptops for cheap with wireless connections in them already.

Price
Definitely essential for us students when considering buying a laptop. The good thing is that these days you can get good laptops for reasonable prices. At the same time I would robably recommend buying a laptop from abroad as almost everywhere is cheaper then Ireland and you get a lot more vale for money.

Size
Back to the age old argument of does size really matter? Well in this case, maybe. You might think you need a laptop with a huge widescreen monitor when your buying it, but you have to ask yourself, is it essential? And remember your going to be the one who has to carry it around.

Memory
Giga bytes, ram etc? I couldn’t begin to try and explain what they are, why you need them and how to get them.But I know that they are important, probably best to ask the sales man about them when your shopping for your laptop. You want to have enough memory to store your work, hold your I tunes and of course play Football Manager.
