If you are the sort of person that likes to play high-end computer games or regularly edit music and videos then you will require a more powerful laptop than someone who simply checks emails and surfs the net. However, this does not necessarily have to equate to a top of the range purchase. If you make a list of what features you are looking for then you may be surprised by what you can get for your money. When setting up a new desktop PC it is easy to customise the components and tailor the computer exactly to your needs. This is because all of the parts can be purchased individually and if, for example, you like to play computer games then you can invest more in a quality graphics card and screen that will do it justice. With a laptop there are few components that can be replaced so you will need to decide early on what exactly you need. Many companies do offer customisation of laptops though so you can still buy something that is suited to you. Generally the quality (and price) of a laptop is determined by the speed, performance, storage space and graphics. The processor is one of the most important components as this affects the speed and performance of your laptop. An AMD or Intel Core i3 and Core i5 are more than adequate for basic computing tasks but for a keen gamer will probably need a quad-core Core i7 processor. Another very important feature of gaming is the graphics so you will need to look for a laptop that has a good quality and sizeable computer screen. In addition a high-quality graphics card is a must, as this will affect the visual quality of your computer games. Good quality graphics cards can cost hundreds of pounds but there are lots of mid-range cards that also offer great value for money. If you are generally in the habit of running several programmes simultaneously then you will need sufficient memory. A minimum 4GB of RAM is recommended and this is the standard that is offered with most modern laptops. Those who run really graphics-intensive programmes my need more. Hard drive space is also important if you like to build up a library of media and computer games. Look for a laptop that has 500GB of storage space or more and remember to check the speed of your hard drive too. A laptop will not usually offer as much storage space as a desktop computer but you can always invest in a portable hard drive for added space. If you are looking specifically for a gaming laptop then it helps to research the essential components you will need. There are lots of cheap computers for sale but you will need to ensure that the one you choose has a powerful enough processor and graphics card to run your computer games.
