Things to consider before buying a new laptop 2020

In today's scenario of remote work and remote schooling, laptops become an essential tool for almost everyone. There are a few things you should keep in mind while buying laptops.
  • The laptop should contain at least 4 USB ports.

  • The ports should have a minimum safe distance of 2 cm so that it will not touch the cable of other port.

  • Make sure you have 2 ports on the right and 2 ports on the left side of your laptop.

  • The touchpad of your laptop should be in the centre when you take the letter A and semicolon (;) key as a start and endpoint.

  • If you are buying a genuine laptop make sure you have the original holographic company stickers.

  • If you are buying a laptop with Windows OS installed please make sure you have an original Windows sticker on the laptop.

  • Make sure you have a medium level processor even though if you are a student don't go for a basic processor.  Even after 10 years, a medium level processor will make your laptop run smoothly.  If you are a graphic designer or a game designer I recommend buying high-level processors.

  • Also, see if you have removable batteries so that you can replace it easily when battery life is gone.

  • You must see the battery life and also minimum battery standby time should be 3 hours maximum can be 24 hours.

  • Make sure your laptop has Bluetooth, WiFi built-in options.

  • Make sure you have bought a weightless laptop because it is easy to carry anywhere.

  • Make sure your laptop has a built-in OS backup.

  • Read the review of the laptop you are buying in several review websites and make sure pros overtake cons.

  • Make sure the service centre of the laptop you are buying is near you.

  • If you are buying a non-popular brand you might not get service support for a longer period.

  • RAM capacity should be as maximum as it can be because you might install many applications.  If you are a graphic designer or a game designer you need more RAM capacity.

  • If you are buying a laptop in a foreign country make sure you have an international warranty.  Also, the service centre is available in your country.

  • After buying the laptop take a photo of the purchase bill, laptop serial number, battery serial number, battery adapter serial number and keep it in the drafts folder of your mail-id.  This will help in future if the laptop gets stolen or misplaced by someone.

  • If you are buying online try to buy the mouse, card reader, laptop cooler fan, pen drive, external hard disk at once it will save a few dollars.  These accessories will help you in many ways.
