Laptops Buying Guide

Laptops have moved from being just drool-worthy gadgets restricted to the hands of a few, to devices having mass acceptance. This popularity is due to the notebook being a device of mass appeal; everybody wants a notebook, whether they really need one or not. It's one of those devices that has drool value and for many people being seen with a notebook is considered a status symbol. Falling prices are the other reason behind the sudden surge in market acceptance. Notebooks used to cost upward of Rs. 50,000; you paid for the exclusiveness of owing a notebook. Taxes relating to their import have fallen and coupled with the reducing cost of components as market acceptance worldwide increases, a notebook is now much more affordable than you might think.

Netbooks, an exciting and special (read cheap) category of notebook are also available. These are very new entrants in the market and are based primarily on Intel Atom processors which consume hardly any power (2.5 to 4 watts). These netbooks are therefore available in very small sizes — 8.9 inches to 10.1 inches. Netbooks are mighty cheap and although you cannot get the same productivity out of them that a more powerful notebook PC would provide they are a serious option for those on a really small budget. Prices of netbooks range from Rs 20,000 to Rs 26,000.

Ergonomics

Sure, a notebook is the sum of all its components but it’s much more than that as well. For us, a notebook is as personal as a PMP or cellphone and special attention needs to be paid to the usability and ergonomics of the notebook rather than just its Laptop Components. In fact, the more you use a notebook the more discerning you become towards any ergonomic shortcomings. For example, the inclusion of dedicated switches/buttons to switch on/off WLAN and Bluetooth and dedicated multimedia keys is a real plus point.

A dedicated switch to turn off the track-pad is another plus; since while typing you don’t really need to use it and accidental brushes with your wrist can have undesired results. The layout of the keys on the keyboard is also worth mentioning; obviously this is highly subjective depending on personal tastes and what you are used to.

Segregated keypads

This design concept is used mainly by Sony and Apple. Such keypads have smaller keys and the bevelling is usually minimal. This is because the adjacent keys have a small gap between each other so false key presses are minimised.

Some people find such keypads much easier to work with; others do not. But you have to try them and find out which type suits you best. While you can get used to even a bad keypad, you will immediately notice the difference between one that suits your fingers and one that doesn't.

Keypads

Bevilled keypads

Such keypads are used by all other major vendors including Dell, HP, Lenovo, Fujitsu and Toshiba.

The keys are bevelled and are very close to each other. The bevelling and a small depression on top of each key allows you to avoid false key presses. Opinions on comfort and usability differ.

Multimedia keys

Having buttons for playback, next and previous tracks, stop, pause and volume mute is very convenient. Even non-multimedia Laptops should have them.
