1. What size screen?
Laptop screens range from 8-inch on ultra-portable netbooks up to the very large 19-inch, with around 15.6 inches being standard (the screens are always measured diagonally in inches). If you’re going to be using a laptop instead of a desktop computer, the bigger the screen is, the better, but if you’re going to be carrying it around, a screen about 15 inches across is probably best because of the weight implications.
2. Matte or glossy?
Most laptops these days come with glossy screens, but if you’re planning to use yours outdoors, a matte screen will be a lot less reflective and so easier on the eyes, especially when the sun is shining.
3. How heavy will it be?
What you choose is going to depend on whether you’re going to be carrying it around a lot. A laptop with a 15.6-inch screen will weigh between 2 and 3kg (4.4–6.6lb). Unfortunately, the very lightest laptops come at a substantial cost.
4. Which operating system should I choose?
The operating system you can use will depend on the type of laptop you have. For PC laptops, the most popular operating system for home use is currently Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Netbooks often use Windows 7 Starter, which is a cutdown version with less functionality
5. Will it be wireless?
If you don’t want to be tied to using the laptop close to a telephone socket, you’ll need to connect it to the internet wirelessly. All modern laptops are capable of doing this, but you’ll need a wireless router, which some internet service providers now provide as standard.
