If supporting resource-intensive programs and having a floppy drive are not priorities when choosing a laptop, and the advantages are portability and small size, it is better to buy a small netbook instead of a laptop. Like any other technology, a netbook is purchased based on those qualities that will suit its future owner.
Instructions
Step 1
The battery life is inversely proportional to its performance, that is, the more powerful the processor, the faster the battery will drain. So when choosing a device, you will have to sacrifice either performance or mobility - a high-performance netbook needs frequent recharging. If you do not plan to use it only for typing (documents created in Word and other similar editors take up little space), you need to choose a device with a large hard disk capacity, which will fit all multimedia files: a photo album, movies and music downloaded from the Internet.
Step 2
The first sign that you should pay attention to when opening the lid of a netbook in a store is a matte or glossy screen. The latter is highly glare in the sun, and fingerprints from accidental touches are visible on it. It will be difficult to use it sitting on a bench in the park - the glossy screen is only suitable for home. In contrast, on a matte screen, the picture is visible even on a sunny day, and dirt is less noticeable.
Such a parameter as the number of battery cells will help you choose the unit with the longest operating time without recharging. One cell equals approximately one hour. That is, having bought a netbook with a battery less than three "cells", you will not be able to go far from the outlet. However, 6 cells are not too much of an advantage, because they make the device much heavier.
Step 3
Intel and amd processors have both fans and opponents, so it's hard to say which one is better. It is preferable to pay attention only to their frequency and multicore. Less than 1 GHz and one core - and the computer will freeze even on simple operations. Since the RAM cards do not increase the cost of the laptop too much, it is worth choosing a large one.
If the netbook will be used as a TV application for watching high-definition video, it must have a Full HD sticker - a symbol of a video card that supports watching movies of the corresponding quality. Also, the device must be equipped with an HDMI connector.
Step 4
The amount of memory is controversial. Someone needs 200 GB, while others cannot do without a terabyte. It all depends on the purpose of the purchase. If memory is insufficient, an additional removable hard drive can be purchased. The operating system is more difficult to install on netbooks than on other types of computers. This is due to the lack of a floppy drive, because the entire procedure will have to be carried out through a USB flash drive. Therefore, users who have computers on "you" should take a laptop with already installed software.
