Processor

The Processor is the integral component of any computer or laptop. The Processor is known as the “Brain of the Computer.” That is why you should not ignore the Processors while choosing any laptop. There are many processors from two companies. The First one is the Intel, which is a highly popular company.

You’ll commonly find the Intel Pentium Processors in the Entry-Level laptops and Intel i3 in Budget laptops. These are general processors present in low priced laptops. The Intel i5 and Intel i7 processors are found in almost every high performance and gaming laptops.

Also, you’ll find many laptops with AMD processors. The AMD processors are not suitable for laptops, and they have the pretty bad record for laptop processors. So, please try to avoid them. It’s one of the important factors you need to consider while Buying a new laptop 2017.

One more thing, at the time of writing this article, we have AMD Ryzen Series Processors out in the market.  The Processors are not yet available for the laptops. But they’ll come in laptops pretty soon. So, if you find any good laptop with AMD Ryzen Series processors, then make sure you shortlist it.

RAM

The RAM is also the most important part of any computer system. The RAM is important memory component which stores the information for temporary processing. There are many categories of RAM. The DDR2, DDR3, DDR3L, DDR4, etc., The DDR3 and DDR4 are the most common RAM types present in the laptops.

The DDR4 RAM is better than DDR3 RAM because of the frequency ranges of RAM. Also, which shortlisting the laptops by RAM, make sure you have sufficient RAM. The 4GB RAM is enough for the basic stuff like Office Works, Internet Browsing and super light gaming.

But, if you have some resource intensive tasks to do, then having 8GB or More RAM is the must. You need to consider these things while Buying a new laptop 2017.

Graphics

The Graphics Department of the laptop is optional but still important. The Graphics processor in the computer’s processes the graphics in games and videos to make them smooth and look fabulous on your computer. Now, the laptops may have two types of Graphics.

The first one is the Integrated Graphics and second is the Dedicated Graphics.

1. The Integrated Graphics is embedded in the CPU [Like AMD processors] or soldered onto the motherboard [Intel HD Graphics]. The Integrated graphics is not at all powerful for doing gaming and video intensive works. The integrated graphics uses the resources from CPU and RAM to show you the graphics on display.
2. The Dedicated Graphics is a component which is attached to the PCI Express slot of the laptop motherboard. The Dedicated Graphics is much stronger than the Integrated graphics. It comes with the dedicated processor and onboard memory to process graphics on its own.

If you have super light graphics usage, then the Integrate graphics is sufficient. But, if you are looking for some casual gameplay or serious gaming, then the dedicated graphics is must have a component in the laptop.

Storage

One more important tip which checking out for the operating system from my side. Please check if the laptop has a 32-Bit operating system or the 64-Bit operating system. The 32-Bit operating system can handle only 4GB of RAM. But, the 64-Bit Operating system can handle more than 4GB of RAM very easily, thus leaving you the room for RAM Upgrading.

If you are low on the budget, then you should choose the Linux-based laptops. You can borrow Windows OS Installation Disk from one of your friends or can buy genuine license keys from the Internet for much cheaper. Thus, helping you to save some bucks.

Brand

When you are looking for exceptional after-sales service, then you should shortlist the laptops considering any particular brand. There are many popular laptop brands in the market like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer and Much more. Choosing the top laptop brand with excellent after-sales service is highly recommended. You can check out some online forums about the Reviews of after-sales service of the brands.

The reason behind choosing any specific brand is that you can get better warranty terms with a specific name than the other. If something goes wrong with your laptop, then the brand can cover everything in the warranty period.
