When shopping for laptops, don't overlook the user experience. These include a number of minor additional parameters that, to one degree or another, affect the performance, "longevity" and usability of the laptop.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the material and finish of your laptop. The glossy body looks stylish, but it is soiled: fingerprints and smudges will be noticeable on such a surface; the matte surface, on the other hand, is extremely practical.
Step 2
Rate the keyboard. Ergonomics of the keyboard is a headache for all manufacturers without exception. When buying, you need to pay attention to the size and location of the keys, whether they have backlighting (a great help for those who like to work in the dark). After using a full-size desktop computer, moving to a miniature device can take time to adapt and get used to a new keyboard.
Step 3
Check the availability of audio and video outputs on your laptop and their nomenclature. If you plan to connect your device to your TV, it must have the appropriate connectors.
Step 4
Explore multimedia capabilities. A built-in microphone, speakers (and their location), a subwoofer and especially a webcam will greatly expand the functionality of your laptop and help you save money on purchasing additional accessories.
Step 5
Finally, the reliability of the laptop is an important aspect. It is impossible to verify it directly in the store, so professional reviewers come to the rescue. The site rescue.com annually compiles ratings of laptop manufacturers, and according to the results of 2013, Samsung leads the list, with ACER becoming the main outsider.
