Buying guide - Laptops
Portability
When you're buying a laptop it's extremely important to think about what you want to use it for. Once you've done that you can balance price, weight, size and battery life to get a computer that exactly suits your needs
If you're looking for a cheap laptop that you can take with you everywhere you go, and you're not going to use it for tasks beyond word processing and browsing the internet, you should look for a netbook. With prices typically under £300 and a battery life of around five hours or more, they can be used for a typical day's work without having to go near a power socket. However, they use fairly slow processors and have relatively cramped 10.1in screens.
If you want performance and portability, look for an ultra-portable. Unlike netbooks, they have fast processors and larger screens (11.1 to 14 inches). Price is generally inverse to weight: the lighter the laptop you want, the more money you'll pay for it. Prices range from around £450 to £2,000 (although you can get great laptop deals at the moment) and, as with netbooks, you can expect a battery life of five hours or more.

Specifications
Screen sizeThe bigger the screen the higher the resolution, and the more information you can fit on it. A netbook resolution of 1024 x 600 can feel a bit cramped; ultra-portables and budget laptops tend to have a resolution of 1366 x 768, which is good for HD video; desktop replacement laptops have resolutions of 1600 x 900 or even 1920 x 1080
Weight
Screen size tends to affect weight, with larger screens weighing more. Around 2kg is okay but look for 1.5kg or less if you want to carry your laptop around all day.
Battery
The size of the battery helps define how long your laptop will last away from the power. A couple of hours for a desktop replacement is fine; four hours for a budget or regular laptop is good; and netbooks and ultra-portables should last for five hours or more.
Memory
The more memory you have, the smoother your computer will run. 2GB of RAM is the minimum to accept, although 4GB is better. For 4GB or more of memory, you need to have the 64-bit version of Windows 7. Netbooks usually come with 1GB of RAM, which is fine, although most can be upgraded to 2GB.
