Different Type of Laptop Screen

Now that your choice is made, you decided to purchase a laptop computer; it only remains for you to choose. But not easy to find in the jungle where prices range from € 300 to over 3000 €! The purpose of this guide is to help you choose the laptop that best fits your needs and means. First some important points to consider:

The choice of the diagonal of the screen (portable, laptop or ultra-portable?)

It is necessary to determine if you need a laptop, a portable PC (also called desktop replacement) or by an ultra-portable see a NETBOOK. These terms are used to define the four main types of laptops that are currently in stores:

1. Transport, as their name suggests, is a heavy in weight (over 3 Kg) and generally have little autonomy (about 2 hours in office use). This is models are especially with 17 inches screens (see 19 or 20 inches), the difference in weight and size with a 15-inch standard is far from negligible (for the train all days for example). Can be regarded as models with 17 inch screens have a lower self about 10% compared to a 15-inch model exactly the same: indeed, over the screen is large, the more demand for energy to function.

2. Instead laptops are more discreet and lightweight and consume less energy (for about 3-4h in office according to the associated battery). The daily use of mobile is the parameter that determines the choice of one or other of these categories. To travel very frequently, choosing a lighter laptop and provide self-comfort to the user. For everyday use at home with some travel from time to time, a transportable and can provide enough comfort for its larger screen.

3. The ultra-portable: can be classified in this category are models that have a small footprint and very low weight (less than 2 kg). These machines are usually fairly quiet and autonomy is high, at least 4 hours in office. But the ultra-portables have the defects of their qualities: they are less efficient (debatable depending on the model and size), their screens are smaller (less than 13.3 inches, the screen becomes quite uncomfortable to work long periods) and they are especially expensive. Miniaturization and low sales volumes make the purchase of a portable ultra-luxurious although the trend is a fall in prices in this segment. There are now powerful models (CPU and graphics card) and equipped with 13.3-inch screens that have nothing to envy to their big brother in 15 inches for the players, for against it will cost at least EUR 1200.

4. The notebook: Asus launched by the end of the year 2007, these small machines ultra light (less than 1 kg) are currently very successful. Their performances are modest (entry-level processor, small hard drives …) but enough for office and light surfing for ultra competitive price, around 300 euros only. These small laptops are often used, for many users, 2nd view 3rd computer support for a highly mobile use.
