Image via WikipediaTodays market is crowded with offers from computer vendors that want to sell you their products. And sometimes these offers promote computers and accessories that don't satisfy your personal requirements - and just dig a big whole in your pocket. If you are a student, a small business owner, or just a regular professional, you need to look for a laptop that will be reliable and at the same time will not suck all your money.
These are a set of tips that have worked for me and several other people when buying laptop computers. Although the number of options in the market is vast, there are a few things that, when you put the required attention, will result in an excellent buying choice.
Finding the best deal in computers is not always that easy. Many stores, specially when the holidays are approaching, put together deals that look promising at first sight, but that are really bad if you don't pay enough attention.
Getting a good computer comes up to select quality for the right price. Although saving money is important, it is not a matter of just saving in the store. You should look at the long term savings by your equipment. That is why it is important to look at some of the items bellow.
1. Be aware of the warranty
One of the most overlooked issues when buying a laptop is the warranty. In the excitement of the new toy you don't even care about this. However, when the laptop has a problem this can be a real headache.
Make sure that you get informed if the warranty for your equipment is good enough. Check with friends that had to use the customer services if the company is efficient. Finally, check if you need to buy an additional coverage package. (more information about laptop warranty can be seen here.)
2. Choose a processor that is adequate but not too expensive
processor is something very important for every laptop a good processor will help you to get a good performance and more amount of work and it will consuming less time bcoz processing is faster
speed plays very important role in our today's life of computer world good speed will help you more for being good at work
Many processors nowadays have a dual core, which means that they have a copy of itself available for similar work. This is great because different programs can use different processors, and therefore can run faster as a result. Dual cores are the ones with such capability, and quad-cores (with four processors) are coming to the market.
Intel has made available in the last year a lot of new processors that bring extra processing capacity for laptops. You can find these dual-core process in the new laptops from Dell, HP, and even
3. Find a laptop with enough room for growth
Laptops are different from desktop computers mainly in that it is difficult to expand its capacity. If your hard disk, for example, gets full after a few months, it is difficult to replace it with a bigger one. Especially if you find out that this is not allowed by the company.
You should always plan to buy a laptop that has features that allow it to grow without major headaches. For example, extra slots for memory extension, several ports for communication with external devices, replaceable drives, etc. This will certainly pay off when you need to improve your laptop in the future.
4. Do not be cheap with memory: you always need more
Memory is like money: you always need more. The general law of programming is that each program is made to use ALL memory available at any given time. And companies spend their time creating software that tries to eat even more memory, such as Windows Vista, Java programs, etc.
The good thing is that memory is cheap these days. So, make a good investment and buy enough memory to satisfy the hunger of your preferred applications.
memory is of two types i.e. RAM and ROM very imp in todays world is ram ram helps you to multi-tasking with your program the greater the ram more number of programs you can multi-task at a time
ROM is something not that important in todays world of pendrive so if it is there or not won't matters
5. Hark disk is essential
One feature that can make or kill your laptop is the hard disk. It is difficult to replace hard disks, and if your is too small it won't fit all the information you need.
Prefer hard disks with generous sizes, even if you have to pay a little more. It is good investment, because it will save you a lot of trouble when you try to install the new multi-Giga software or when you try to store the record you made of your children.
more the hdd more the data you can store
6. Consider the durability of the case
Being a mobile equipment, the laptop may be subject to conditions that are not natural. For example, it can get stuck in the back of your car, shaken in the airport check-in lines, or fell on the ground when your dog pull the power chord (although this wouldn't happen with a Mac...). That is why is so important that you consider buying a durable laptop.
In any case, it is important that yourlaptop can resist several types of hazards without any major problems. Make sure that, for example, the screen will not fall apart easily (a major problem in old models), or that the keyboard looks resistant enough.
7. Avoid the wave of optional and trial software
Computer makers nowadays have this terrible deal of sending lots of trial software bundled with each laptop. And they even have the courage to market this as a good deal for users.
In fact, most of the software that in bundled with new computers is just crap that will stop running after a few days. The end result is that you will have to manually remove them, and pray that nothing bad will happen to the computer's configuration when the software is gone. If you don't want to do this, you laptop will forever waste disk space with software that you don't want.
So, be aware of the trial software trick. Try to avoid vendors that bundle every piece of crap in your hard drive and still want to be paid for this "service".
8. A good screen is fundamental
Nothing can burn you out faster when working with a computer than having a bad screen. A good screen can also provide with many moments of pleasure, so never underestimate the importance of a good screen in your laptop.
The main measure of screen is its size, but almost as important is the resolution. Typical resolutions are nowadays 1280 by 800 pixels or 1680 by 1050 pixels, but they get better every year. You should make sure that you can get enough resolution to run the programs you like without losing any real screen estate
9. Expansion ports: the more the better
This is an area where there is no real limits. The more extension options you have, the better. You can never know when you will need to use that crazy accessory that connects only to a specific port.
These days, the USB ports are the most popular, so you should have plenty of them. Of course, with USB you can always buy extension ports, but you should be able to use three or four USB accessories before this is necessary. Firewire equipment is now getting more common, especially for video equipment, so you should make sure that they are there.
10. Consider the input methods
Working with a laptop computer can be rewarding, due to the increased mobility that it provides. However, be aware that many laptops can cripple your productivity due to badly designed input methods.
For example, many laptops have keyboards that are so small that it is hardly possible to type in it without mixing keys. This might be something that is particular not only to the equipment, but to your own physical dimensions -- if you have big hands, try to find a laptop with a keyboard that is large enough. If you have small hands, then you will probably be comfortable with any laptop keyboard.
Another issue here is the mouse or trackball. Laptops have huge variability in this area: some come with a track point, other with a touch sensitive area. Some of these are impossible to use, so you will probably need an external mouse. Take this into consideration when you are testing the laptop
Top 7 Backup Tips

It’s not worth deciding on some convoluted back-up plan that you’ll never keep up. If all you need to save is your Documents folder, making complete system images every week is a waste of time. You’ll give up long before you have your system crash, and lose everything.
2
It’s always worth keeping at least two copies of your files, one on a physical medium such as a DVD or external hard drive, another in an online backup service – so if your home is damaged by fire or flood, you’ve still got your documents.
3
Online backup services are generally reliable, but they rarely make a cast iron guarantee that your data will be safe, or offer any comeback if they lose it. This is especially true with free ones, which might disappear, be bought out, or change focus at any time.
4
Never keep your backups on your main computer. A virus, an accident or a hard disc crash could easily destroy them along with the original versions.
5
Your files matter, your Windows 7 installation doesn’t. Reinstalling may be a pain, but you’ll be back up and running in minutes. You can’t replace lost photos or documents.
6
You can’t back up programs by just copying their folder from Program Files – at least, not all of them. Most require registry entries, drivers and other bits from around your system. Only a system image is guaranteed to restore settings.
7
Restoring previous files can be a lifesaver, but don’t get into the habit of thinking of it as a safety net. If you’re going to be making big changes to a document that you may or may not want to undo, the best way is always to save it as a new copy until you’re sure.

1. It is a fact that 75% of PC users do not use an updated antivirus program is a program that scans your PC looking for all malware, when discovered, they can either quarantine or delete them. Some AV programs even scan sites you visit and detect phishing sites.
2. phishing sites “are sites that have been created to look like a bank or payment processor like PayPal. We’ve all received emails from our bank stating our account is empty and immediately connect the hyperlink in the email you click on the real side, but the site he made for fraudulent, they are stealing money! Always make sure your banks website has a picture of a padlock on the toolbar, which shows that it is a safe place to log in. If you have any questions contact your bank immediately.
3. We all need a firewall to hide. This is a piece of software that prevents any intrusion into our computers, at home or at work. Once the software is installed is running in the background. Basically, it blocks the ports on our computers that hackers use to access the back door. Like the VA, there are many free firewall.
4. Your operating system upgrade? When is it updated? Most people will respond, ever. Major software companies like Microsoft, because the updates, is to connect all security vulnerabilities in software, so when I do an update, its wise to update your system.
5. Review all consumer equipment that uses, as there are products on the market called keyloggers, this is an electronic device that records all keystrokes and can be downloaded. So if you use the library of your online bank, eBay, make sure the keyboard cable is connected directly to your computer when connected to a piece of cable, could be a keylogger. The person who put there just download the information and have all your contact information and access to your money! Always disconnect and not save passwords on public computers – ever!
6. Check public WiFi connections are public! Make sure it is not just another computer that serves as a gateway, if you pass your details to them, a credit card and address, then you get Internet access. If you send emails, they are using your credit card to buy products online!
7. Do not share games, because that’s how some viruses were transferred from one computer to another. Run anti-virus scanner for the first disk.
8. Do not let anyone use a flash drive into your computer as soon as someone plugs a flash drive into a computer from a virus could be transferred to your computer, which may or may not be done on purpose, but problem is still there take the information from your computer and can even send email from your computer at a later date!
9. Physical protection at home and at work, which is essential to maintain the equipment and data stored on it falling into the wrong hands. The PC is a special steel box, which was designed to protect computers, so heating and security issues has been addresses, these units are fully welded and normally bolted to the walls (which is how banks protect their computers.)
10. The movement of physical protection is essential for laptops, so Kingston security offers the best option is a cable high-grade steel that locks into the laptop and links around a table leg, which prevent your personal information is stolen with the laptop in an accident and theft of support.
Follow these simple steps and offline and online security is safe.
so be secure and save data
