Laptop Buying Guide

Nowadays all students need a laptop. Follow these tips to identify a perfect one.

1. Pick a portable size:

Although 15-inch laptops tend to be the cheapest, 11 to 14-inch models are better for students on the go because they usually weigh less than 2 Kg., making them much easier to transport.

2. Consider a touch screen hybrid:

Windows 8 sports an inerface that works a lot better with a touch screen, so consider buying a laptop with a touch screen. However, if you want full touch experience, consider a hybrid laptop. One good choice is the Dell XPS 12.

3. Go for at least 5.5 hours of battery life:

It's not always easy for students to plug in when they are going to class or finishing a paper in the campus. So get a notebook that lasts at least 5 hours and 30 minutes on a charge. Have a home-grown battery test, which invloves continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi.
