First of all, make clear what you buy a notebook computer for. What requirements you have for machine performance, portability and battery life. Then consider other additional requirements and basically you can determine what notebook you need.

Laptops are usually classified according to their display size.

11 to 12 inches: The thinnest and lightest system has a screen of 11 to 12 inches. And usually weighs 2.5 to 3.5 pounds. 13 to 14 inches: Strike the best balance between portability and availability. Especially when you get a laptop weighing less than 4 pounds. 15 to 16 inches: the most popular size. 15-inch laptops usually weigh 4 to 5.5 pounds. If you want a larger screen and do not plan to carry it with you, please consider using this size. Notebooks with a 16-inch display are rare. But Apple may start to lead the trend with its 16-inch MacBook Pro. 17 to 18 inches: If you put notebook computer on the desk all day. Then this type can provide you with the processing power required for high-end games or workstation-level productivity.

If you plan to do a lot of work on your computer, make sure the keyboard provides reliable tactile feedback. Sufficient key stroke and sufficient space between keys.

If you want to buy a large notebook computer or game console that works on a desk near the socket. You don't have to worry about battery life. But if you plan to use it in different places, at home or in the office. You should have at least 7 hours of battery endurance. The ideal situation is more than 8 hours. To determine the expected battery life of notebook computers, please do not follow the manufacturer's instructions. At present, the third-party assessment of notebook products is rich. And many friends will inquire about relevant evaluation everywhere before buying. This is good, so that you can understand the detailed information of the machine. But when choosing, you should consider according to your own needs. Not blindly believe in evaluation.
