To get cheap laptops, you have to know what spec to focus on. Within this section I will review some of my own expertise in obtaining inexpensive notebook computers. There are some major specs that everyone is looking at, they are:

Cpu:

This is actually the specs you need to focus on, in case you are comparing two versions of notebook computers. (for example, two laptops possess the same cost but one provide higher processor speed and also the other one gives higher RAM, which one do you want to pick?) Of course, the answer is choosing the one with higher processor speed. Why? it is straightforward. You can not change the cpu of your laptop once you bought them. Secondly, RAM is so inexpensive today and is replaceable.

What processor to choose?

That actually depends on your budget. When you have extra bucks to spare. Receive a higher-speed processor along with your notebook will perform somewhat better. Do not get too increase whenever you're contemplating sparing some money with this specification. Always pay attention to your budget. They're lots of great deals out there, just keep searching:) I would propose spend additional 5 to 10% of your funds with this.

RAM

All the time people wind up spending additional $100 to $300 only to have a couple gig of RAM. I am going to put least concentrate on these specs, like I understand that I am able to change them after. Laptop usually includes two slots of RAM. As consideration on the best way to buy the right RAM for your own laptop, take a look at any computer store. They're more than willing to help you, sometimes even substitute them for you. If you're timid or the store sales guy is not friendly.

Weight

This really is catchy. Why? sometimes you may believe that you simply travel a good deal. but end up placing the notebook in your room the majority of the time. Should you be a casual user, who don't need to bring your notebook with you everywhere you go then ignore this spec. You cover the portability and most of time you should need to pay a higher price to really get precisely the same spec of notebook. Strive to imagine where are you planning to utilize your laptop most regularly and you'll get your reply right away.

Screen Dimensions

To obtain 100 dollar laptops, you will always go for 15 inch screen (15 to 15.9 inch to get special) Why? This is actually the regular size where the manufacturer mass produce. In case you go an inch higher or lower, its gonna cost you. (about $100 or more - depends on the brand). The second thing is if you want a bigger screen, go get a larger external monitor for a less expensive cost and of better quality (effects and size).

Hard drive
HDD now is cheap and you may get an external hard drive (little USB powered hard drive) for an inexpensive cost. 5400 RPM is good and 7200 RPM is much better. Do not look for size. Shop for speed (RPM). If you really need extra low speed memory, you can always get them afterwards for a very cheap cost.

Video memory

Should you play games inside your notebook (I mean graphic demanding games), then you certainly might one to spend extra cash to get a dedicated video memory (graphic cards in a nutshell). I don't recommend buying a gaming laptop. Why? you not only need to get a dedicated video memory, you also need to receive a faster chip, higher RAM and also a faster hard-drive Website.
