When choosing a mobile computer, it is necessary to determine in advance the purpose of its purchase. In most cases, you can get by with a relatively cheap model, having correctly selected its characteristics.
Instructions
Step 1
Keep in mind that if you want to buy a really cheap laptop, then you should not chase the promoted brands. There are many companies that produce relatively inexpensive mobile computers of acceptable quality.
Step 2
Take a close look at the lineup from HP, Lenovo and Emachines. Do not buy new laptop models. As a rule, their prices are very high. You can find a relatively old model that is not much inferior in performance.
Step 3
Be clear about the purpose of purchasing a mobile computer. If you are sure that you will only use your laptop for web surfing and work with office applications, then you should not purchase powerful equipment. You may be more than enough with an integrated video adapter. As practice shows, such video cards work successfully with relatively old games and can even play high quality video.
Step 4
Pay attention to the design of the mobile computer and the availability of additional functions. Often the price of two laptops with identical specifications can differ by 20% only due to the interesting design.
Step 5
If you do not plan to connect your mobile computer to a plasma or LCD TV, then purchase a device without HDMI output. Check for a card reader and other optional connectors.
Step 6
Now think about the advisability of purchasing a mobile computer with a preinstalled operating system. If you have the opportunity to use Linux operating systems or you have a licensed copy of Windows, then it is wiser to choose a laptop without an OS. This will save you a couple of thousand rubles.
Step 7
Carefully study the promotions taking place in computer stores. Quite often, you can buy a mobile computer at a price that will be significantly lower than its average market value.
