Laptops Buying Guide:
Product Reviews, White Papers, News and Buying Advice


Not all laptops are created equal. As the computer of choice for more and more users, manufacturers are now producing them with more and more choices. Among the key factors to consider are portability, cost, speed, memory, and those are just some of the basics. What you’re using it for will of course drive your decision (Work? Web access? Multimedia? Gaming? Replacing your desktop? All of the above?) Then there are the differences in brand, warranties, touchpad pointing devices and parts availability. Some manufacturers offer notebooks with rewritable DVD drives or a combination DVD-ROM and CD-RW drive. Some have a battery life that can last up to 7 hours. Some vendors let you custom build and price your own laptop by picking and choosing the features most important to you. The list goes on and on, but the time spent researching it doesn’t have to. The Laptops Buying Guide can help you sort through all the options to arrive at your ideal one for your needs.
