Which Type of Laptop Should You Buy?:
Buying a laptop is getting relatively more difficult, taking the different types available to choose from into account, there are desktop replacements, 2-in-1s, gaming, portable workstations the list is endless. Laptops are not made the same and it is critical to choose one that caters for your needs. Are you aware of the different types of laptops and what makes them the best kind and most suitable to your needs? Let’s start by defining a few and touch on which key components you should look out for when purchasing a laptop.
- Desktop Replacements
These laptops can provide the same capabilities that a desktop computer does with a similar performance level. Desktop replacements are also bulkier and larger than standard laptops. Their components are more powerful, but with a shorter battery life. They are often used as desktop alternatives with some using desktop components for improved performance. When shopping for one, look for a powerful processor like the Intel Core Processor i7. The overall performance of a laptop is affected by memory power. So, look for a high speed RAM with nothing less than 4 GB. Check out the Dell Xps 15″ Touch Screen Laptop
- 2-in-1s
2-in-1s combine the features of laptops and tablets. You get those with screens that can be totally detached from the keyboard base and function as a standalone touchscreen tablet. Others have screens that can be flipped back or swiveled to be used as a tablet. The screen and keyboard never detach but you can use it like a tablet because it has a touchscreen. 2-in-1’s have two built-in batteries for the tablet and docked keyboard base which give both portions better battery life. The detachable screen functions as a proper tablet even without the keyboard base. You don’t need to carry both a laptop and tablet on work trips.

- Gaming
The primary aspects of a gaming laptop are the operating system (OS), graphics card, processor and screen-size. The OS is important because not all games can play on every OS. The large screen makes it easier for gamers to see every aspect of the game they are playing. Games can be extremely processor-intensive and a minimum processor type or speed might be required to play a game. This makes the processor a vital feature of any gaming laptop. Games are mainly graphics and visual effects and this is why a graphics card is a must have for gaming laptops. One needs to also take into consideration all the hardware aspects and accessories needed like RAM, RAM speed, battery life, headsets and speaker systems. Check out the Lenovo Y50 Touch
At the end of the day, what you will primarily use a laptop for determines which of the above type/s will best suit your needs. Shop around for a wider selection of home and office laptops.
