Things to check before purchasing laptop

 Laptop has become essential part in the life of people especially student and working professionals.

With so many laptops available, picking the right one for your needs and budget might be difficult for you. We've created a list of 12 criteria that you may use as a checklist to help you streamline the process. Examining each category may seem time-consuming, but there are many factors to take into account. At the end of the day, investing some time in your new device's research will help you avoid making an expensive error and ensure that you receive a laptop that is ideal for you.

1. Size

Before purchasing a laptop you must consider this since professionals working in the company or college student look for small sized (basically 14 inch) laptop as it is easy to carry and we can use it by keeping it anywhere (even in your hand). If the professionals looking for the laptop which they can use for graphical purpose then they should go for bigger size laptop (15 or 17 inches)

2. Display

You'll probably want to make sure it's as painless as possible to do so since you'll likely end up looking at your laptop display for hours at a time. You will need a display for this that is relaxing to look at and is easy to use.

If you enjoy playing video games, it's also important to verify the refresh rate of any potential laptop. In online games, having a faster refresh rate can frequently provide you an advantage because it makes the game play more responsive and fluid.

3. CPU

Any of Intel's Core-based CPUs are difficult to beat when purchasing a new laptop. Even if you don't understand the technical jargon, it's likely that you've noticed the stickers for Intel's Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 processors that are affixed to all new laptops.

When it comes to multitasking and multimedia applications, an Intel Core Processor provides the optimum performance for many consumers. If you are a bit conscious for your multitasking experience you must consider either core i5 or core i7 since there are the latest in the market.

4. RAM

To get the most out of your system in the past, you seldom ever needed more than 4GB of RAM.

These days, you should generally consider 8GB as a minimum. The best option for power users is 16 GB. For the optimum experience, gamers should consider turning the slider all the way up to 32GB (or even more).

5. Storage

Hard drives were formerly extremely popular, but they are now largely out of style, especially for tiny and light laptops. This is because they may produce a lot of heat and noise, are rather bulky and slow.

On the other hand, a solid state drive (SSD) delivers significantly more speed than a hard drive, operates quietly, and can be fitted in a form factor that doesn't significantly increase the weight and size of a laptop.

6. Battery Life

The battery life a manufacturer claims is rarely representative of how a laptop will perform in practice.

Simply put, there are too many factors that might effect battery life. The screen's brightness, resolution, amount of background programs, and whether or not you actively maintain a connection to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi networks are all factors.

So look for good battery life before purchasing a laptop so that you don't need to plug in your charger all the time while using your laptop.

7. Type -C charging point

These days people don't like to carry their laptop charger and mostly we are used to have type C charger in almost every house so it better to look for laptop having type-c charging support.

8. Build Quality

Despite our best efforts, most laptops will eventually find themselves being dropped, thrown, and knocked around by the rigors of daily use. Because of this, it's important to find out how much testing a laptop has gone through (the maker frequently brags about it) and whether it has any form of accreditation you can trust.

Of course, you must strike a balance between these characteristics, your needs, and your budget, and you may need to make some concessions. Rarely, especially in terms of cost, does a laptop appear that meets every requirement.
