We all have or will need a laptop at some point in our lives. Purchasing a laptop may appear to be a simple task, but it is not.

There are numerous factors to consider before making a decision, and the following are some that may be useful to you:

Screen Quality

Every day, you'll most likely be staring at your laptop screen for hours.

So choose a laptop with a screen that is easy on the eyes. Keep in mind that glossier screens tend to reflect ambient light.

Also, keep in mind that touch screen laptops will have a glossy screen, so weigh the benefits and drawbacks.

Screen resolution is also important depending on how you intend to use your laptop.

When researching laptop screen options, it's a good idea to go to a computer store and look them over in person.

Size

One of the best features of a laptop is its ability to fit into a laptop bag and accompany you around the world.

If portability is important to you, look for laptops with smaller screen sizes and a thin, lightweight design.

These laptops are frequently marketed as Ultrabooks, so keep an eye out for that term.

Alternatively, choose a device with a screen size of 12 to 13.3 inches and a weight of less than 1.5kg.

Battery Life

A laptop's battery life is determined by a variety of factors.

There are several factors to consider, including screen brightness, resolution, the type of programs you are running, the operating system, and others.

It is entirely dependent on usage, and the manufacturer's stated battery life is rarely indicative of your experience.

Instead of focusing on the number of hours specified by the manufacturer, consider the battery's rating in Watt-hours (Wh) or milliamp-hours (mAh).

Storage

You must consider not only the amount of storage but also the type of storage.

Hard disk drives were popular back in the day. Hard drives are becoming less popular as laptops become slimmer and lighter.

Instead, many laptop owners are opting for solid-state drives, which are faster, quieter, and, yes, more expensive.

RAM

RAM (random access memory) is essential to computer performance, especially if you do a lot of multitasking on your laptop, such as editing photos, writing word documents, and browsing the web all at the same time.

The more RAM you have, the faster your laptop can access data and the more applications you can run at the same time.

The bare minimum is 4GB of RAM. Look for 8GB or more if you use a lot of high-power software.

SSD Hard Drive

Laptops with an SSD or SSD cache are faster and have a better response time. SSDs are more energy-efficient and more durable.

SSDs are used in most new laptops because they are more durable, lighter in weight, and consume less battery power than hard drives.

You can keep your operating system and important programs on the SSD for faster loading times and use the hard drive to store data.

Essential tips before selling your car

Before purchasing something, we all need to be conscious about what fits us the best and what we actually are looking for.

Do you want to purchase a Laptop or a Desktop computer?

So, before deciding to purchase a computer, you need to have a handful of criteria and determine what best fits your needs. In addition, here are some points we can help buyers to purchase a product according to their needs.

1. Cost

The main and the foremost thing a buyer will look at is the cost. If we compare the price of laptops and desktops, the starting price of a desktop is comparatively cheaper than the price of a fully-loaded feature laptop.

2. Portability 

It is always easy to carry laptops than a desktop. Well, if you are a traveller and a student, a laptop will always be the best choice.

On the other hand, Desktop computers are large and have a separate monitor. It can be carried from one place to another but cannot be the choice of portability.

3. Power Usage: 

If we have to compare laptop and desktop computers on the basis of power, desktop computers have to power a higher wattage power supply, multiple components inside the computer, and a monitor. If the power fluctuates or goes out, the unsaved file will be lost or left unsaved. 

Also, you need to add an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), also known as a battery backup which provides backup power when your regular power source fails. 

On the other hand, laptops use less power and have a built-in battery for power outages.

4. Upgrading: 

Desktop computers are bigger and easier to compare as most of the components in a desktop are removable.   

Desktop cases are larger and it also provides more room inside to add and remove hardware, use tools, and organize cables while laptops have only two components i.e Memory and hard drive/SSD that can be upgraded to a laptop. The remaining components are either built-in and cannot be removed. 

Moreover, a need to upgrade anything other than the hard drive/SSD and memory usually requires a new laptop.

5. Repair 

As we all know, desktops are bigger in size so it is easier for repairing. Repairing a desktop computer also is generally easier because most of the hardware can be purchased off the shelf of any local computer retail store. 

Furthermore, opening a laptop to repair a part can be difficult as it is small in size and finding a replacement part also often requires calling the computer manufacturer or ordering from another online site. 

In a nutshell, the choice is yours. Before you start your search, it’s good to change your mindset first: neither device is better than the other, nor both have their own set of advantages. In the end, the final decision depends on what your needs are but before purchasing a computer, always remember the 5 points mentioned above. 

Also, some affordable brands available in Nepal are Dell, Avita, Lenovo, Acer, and many more.

It is very important for you to think about how cold weather might affect your laptop during winter because laptops are built to operate in a safe temperature range.

Moreover, protecting your laptop from the cold weather is important.

Here are some suggestions for keeping your device safe when the temperature drops:

Stay Out of the Cold

When using your laptop, try to remain out of direct weather as much as possible by staying in a vehicle, a building, or some sort of shelter as most computers are designed to work in temperatures ranging from 50 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 35 C).

Protecting your laptop from moisture, rain, or snow will protect it from electrical damage and the risk of electrical shock.

Moreover, it’s obvious that you should not use your laptop in an area where the temperature has dropped below freezing.

Protect your laptop

When traveling around, keep your computer in a well-padded and insulated case, especially when the temperature goes below freezing and the wind can reduce the effective temperature even more.

Also, your laptop might be damaged by dampness if the bag becomes wet. Wait until the laptop is completely dry before turning it on.

Careful Storage

In cold weather, never leave a laptop in your vehicle, even if it is well-padded and insulated.

Also, avoid keeping your laptop in an open place, such as a trunk, for a lengthy amount of time during very cold weather, even if you have a case that keeps it adequately covered.

The laptop may freeze, resulting in the loss of any data stored on it. Moreover, freezing might potentially harm your battery and cause your screen to stop working.

Allow your laptop to warm up before using it

Always make sure that you allow your laptop to warm up before using it during the cold season.

If you power on your laptop too early, it's possible that the screen and internal hardware will be damaged beyond repair.

Also, to heat or cure a laptop, don’t use heating pads or other external heat sources because they aren't intended for this use and can cause issues.
