Solve : Laptop.? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hi, <br/>I'm going to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/buy-391430" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BUY">BUY</a> a laptop in a few days , I want to know what are the things that I need to keep in mind before I purchase a laptop.<br/><br/>I'll be using my laptop mostly for surfing and emailing y friends and most importantly I'll be studying animation designing etc.<br/><br/>Last time my mom gifted me this computer , they didn't <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/even-976335" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EVEN">EVEN</a> give us the original windows copy, We didn't know anything about computers, but this time I don't want to be cheated, So please tell me what all I need to keep in mind before buying something this time.<br/><br/>ThanksWell you say you got cheated last time so i have to wonder where you bought it from. I would say if you want to be sure your not getting ripped off make sure you for one buy it from a reputable retailer like Best Buy, Circuit City or go right to the source and buy from Dell and HP online. Next I would suggest <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/avoiding-7267716" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about AVOIDING">AVOIDING</a> Vista. I have it and yes its stable but why move away from Xp. Vista is still slower and frankly I turned off all the pretty effects anyhow. <br/><br/>You say your going to study animation so my guess (which may be inaccurate) is that you are doing video editing/decoding/etc which are all processor intensive. Depending on your budget I would try and get at least a Intel Core 2 Duo and shoot for 2 gigs of ram. If your going to get Vista I would personally suggest a low end video card but again i would avoid it if you can (If you buy online getting XP should be easy if you walk into a store you may run into issues). Ummmm besides that make sure you get a light laptop if you know your going to carry it alot. Nothing is worse than luggin around an 8 pound brick.<br/><br/>I mean besides that if you go to a retail store you really can't go too wrong. Biggest thing is to make sure you get at leaste a gig of ram and a descent processor. <br/><br/><a href="https://www.geek.com/laptop-buyers-guide/">http://www.geek.com/laptop-buyers-guide/</a><br/><br/>Thats a link to a site that basically reiterates in much more detail what I just said. Take a look at Asus Eee PC<br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMjIW5qyq3s">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMjIW5qyq3s</a><br/><br/>It runs linux out of the but is 100% compatable with XP. When I bought my laptop I tried to get one with xp but thats not possible when buying from a reputable store. And by the way XP is officialy "Off the shelves" so you'll have to get one off e-bay<br/><br/>The EeePC is a nice laptop. I have one myself. The new EeePC 900 sports a larger screen than the first models (8.9", the originals were just 7") and a better resolution (1024x600, earlier models were just 800x400) and it is rumored that they will release some with Windows XP included. While the earlier models only came with 512MB RAM, they were upgradeable. However, the 900 comes with 1GB RAM. While the earlier models include a 900Mhz processor, the BIOS limits the front side bus to 75Mhz, which gives the processor 600Mhz. There is an earlier version of the EeePC 401 (4G and 8G models) BIOS available that allow the FSB to be set to 100 Mhz, which makes the processor run at the full 900Mhz. There are heat issues with the earlier models running at 900Mhz, which is why ASUS changed the BIOS to not allow this. However, the original BIOS was available for a short time, and some people have changed over. Without changing the BIOS, there is a small <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/application-25616" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about APPLICATION">APPLICATION</a> that runs on the Windows task bar which allows changing of the FSB speed on the fly without having to change the BIOS (the method I use). There are rumors that<br/><br/>In any case, it's a great productivity laptop for the money. It's not built for games, and I wouldn't plan on running any on it. It doesn't include a CD/DVD drive, but can use an external through USB. Storage space is limited (4GB and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/8gb-340078" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 8GB">8GB</a> for early models, 12GB-20GB for later models), so an external hard drive might be a consideration if you've got a lot of media/movies/music that you want to tote around with you.<br/><br/>It works great for surfing the net, chat, e-mail, Office applications, and other tasks you need to perform on the go. Weighs in at less than 1kg (2 lbs) even with the battery, so it's not such a pain to carry with you.If you have the $ you might look into a Mac. They are very good with graphics/animation and IMHO much faster than a pc with software bloat.<br/><br/>Alan <>< Thanks a lot for the above given information guys.<br/><br/>However I'd like to know the the most important things that I need to look in any laptop(no matter what the company ) I get .Since you are interested in animation and graphics, I would say that once you've set a monetary budget range, you'll want the most RAM (Random Access Memory) you can get for the money. (I would say 2 gigabytes is a good minimum.) The processor is also important, as it's the brain which parses the instructions of the programs you'll run. The size of the hard drive (storage) is important, so you'll have enough storage space to keep those video files.Thanks for the easy to understand steps, I was actually looking for such basic things to know, Thankyou I'll keep these three things in mind.</p></body></html> | |
