Hello /Computer Talk/,
I'll be having an informative speech on the topic
How to choose a Laptop. Circulating on getting the most
out of your money.
Any tips for the info I'll be giving out? Stuff to keep in mind
and stuff?

I plan on explaining to them the importance of the parts, why some laptops
are more expensive than the other and so on.

Well, let's start with a few things:
Online direct from the manufacturer is always cheaper than buying from a store (the store have high labour cost as well as high cost for holding stock).
"Prestige" parts. The luxury stuff that is more expensive and less value for money (Nvidia over ATI, Intel over AMD, Corsair over Great Wall etc.)
"Prestige" companies (Sony).
You pretty much get what you pay for with laptops, they are easier to choose than desktops because they don't have so many options.

This all assumes you are not including Apple computers into your informative speech. If you are, please indicate that.

I will indicate it and put an argument that it may be defined as a different race of computer but once out of it shell. It still has the same hardware as the laptops not made by apple.

It's going to be hard opposing Apple since my class is a Multimedia Arts class where in Macbook Pros are important in a way.

Okay. Thanks alot.

And it's not only the applications that are useful. Our professors literally scare the shit out of us that if we're not familiar with Macs then we'll be fucked once we graduate. So yeah; most students in our country with the same course are like attached to Mac.

Philippines. and may I ask a hierarchy of laptop parts based on their importance?

GG · Posted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 5:47 am Post subject:

What do you mean by importance? All parts are required for functionality, but do you mean which parts more should be invested in?

Clairenix · Posted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 5:52 am Post subject:

Yeah. Which parts should be invested in.

It's just like a computer, it depends on your budget. Low price brands have low quality components.
You don't really have to worry about things like a good PSU so you don't screw up all your stuff etc.
Laptops are really quite easy to choose, the price is almost parallel to the quality. With the exception of Netbooks (e.g. the AlienWare M11x).

The only hard thing in choosing laptops for me, is that when you get an "awesome" laptop with amazing graphics or something like that, the battery is completely drained. So its hard to find a powerful laptop without battery being crap. So battery life is more important then certain things.

People are noobs.

The first thing you should be asking is, "What will you be, or potentially be, doing on the computer."

Say you buy it and it's either so unnecessarily powerful that you've wasted $500 on uselessness, or added functionality that you simply will not use. There's also the other way of you buy something and it's sub-par, having the point of buying it in the first place lost.

I can write you up a guide on what to look out for with certain things if you want (I'll stay away from brand names unless they support certain things other's don't).

Also, MAC. Boot camp mother fuckers. Best of both worlds get.
