Compare Different Laptops
As we all
know, there are many types of laptop computers that were manufactured to suit
every need and requirement. This is why in what follows we will compare different
laptop computers to get at least an idea about what you should look for when
you want to buy a laptop.
There are 5
big types of laptop computers: desktop replacements, ultraportable laptops,
standard laptops, thin and light laptops and tablet PCs. As to compare
different laptop computers, we will discuss a bit about the things you’ll get
and the things you’ll miss when and if you buy a laptop from the categories
above mentioned.
If you
decide upon a desktop replacement - that is a laptop that has all the things
your former computer had, but in a more stylish practical chassis - than you’ll
get a widescreen with a sharp display and great colours, a i5 processor, enough memory and sophisticated
style. Such a laptop will also come with a numeric pad, a thing that is really
rare on laptop computers nowadays.
Such a
laptop is good for gaming, for editing
and also for a good sound, as most of them with an integrated subwoofer. Though
you get all these things, there are also some downsides of a desktop
replacement laptop. It is not portable, as it weighs a lot due to all its
components, their battery life is really poor and they are, by far, the most
expensive (from $1500 to $4000).
While the
desktop replacements are so hard to carry around, the ultraportable laptops are
the ones you should think of if you are a traveler. Such a laptop is very
compact and has a great design, but the performance is really low. If you buy
one, you’ll also find that the battery life is also very poor, the screen is
small and the keyboard is also very unpractical, as it too is very small.
Also, you
won’t get a CD or DVD drive either, because the ultraportable laptops have to
be small and really light. Know more about the pros and cons of ultraportable
laptops from LaptopJudge and no matter what you choose to buy, check the reviews and
ratings carefully before buying.
Standard
laptops are really affordable; they provide great performance and excellent
battery life. So if you need to travel a lot and also work on your laptop, then such a laptop is a great choice. The only
bad parts are that they are not as portable as the ones mentioned above, and
they don’t have upgraded graphics chips, so they won’t come close to the
frame rates offered by desktop replacements.
Thin and
light laptops are by far the best in the traveling domain because they combine power with battery life. They also have
great displays and many wireless options, so you can stay connected whenever.
However, they lack USB ports, there are only 2 or 3, which to be honest are
less than enough and they utilize shared system RAM in the graphics department.
Finally, the
tablet PCs will provide mobility, as they are very small; they have 2 viewing
modes, either portrait or landscape and they also have a great battery life.
However, they lack performance, screen quality, and
optical drive, as you won’t get a CD or DVD drive. If you find this post
