1Determine what you need out of a laptop. Will you be using the laptop for business, gaming, or just for personal experience? How much space will you need? How much time do you have to set it up?Ad -
2Once you figure out what and how you'll be using your brand new laptop, you'll need to create a budget. As you may well know, computers, especially laptops, can be at pretty hefty prices. Make sure if you plan on spending over $700 on a laptop computer, you need to think about the extra costs, like antivirus/security programs, maintenance fees, and warranty fees. -
3Next, go pick out a laptop! There are many places which sell new and used laptop computers. Stay away from auctioning sites like eBay.com and/or craigslist.com, unless you know for sure the system works good, and is being sold from a trusted person. It's better to buy from retail stores, because you know the computer is new, and is high-quality. -
4Finally, buy any further software/accessories you'll need for your brand new mobile friend! Will you need a case? An internet provider if there are no close-by hotspot locations? A word-processing program? Anti-virus protection? Think about the choices, and ask experts for their opinion.Ad
