Choosing the right notebooks sometimes can be a difficult task. Whether your need is for working, gaming, graphic designing, or simply satisfying your gadget fetish there are some factors that need to be considered and evaluated.

1. Budget
   Always, always, always glued your spending limit in your conscious and unconscious minds when buying notebooks. Manufacturers tend to offer their products with tons of optional features/equipments that seemed relatively cheap but expensive if you decide to put all of these options altogether.
2. See It to Believe It
   Go to local computer stores, Best Buys, Apple Stores, etc that display your wanted notebooks. Viewing the laptop only from pictures can make you regret if they do not match your standard of dream computer (whether its color, size, built, weight, etc.)
3. Weight + Size = Mobility
   If you in the market of finding a new notebook because you feel that you travel a lot and in the need of accessing all the information anywhere sure you do not want to carry 17” with 6 pounds of weight notebook around right? "Ultraportable" keyword is your friend here.
4. Speed and GPU
   Most of the people do not need the newest and latest processor (CPU) which carries premium price tag. Unless you need your notebooks to do great deals of graphic manipulations or mathematical computations choose at least 2 or 3 lower processor clock (speed) than the just-released CPU/GPU which usually get the most bang for your bucks.
5. Dual Core, Dual Core Duo, Penryn, ...
   Technology terms sometimes use a strange names that tend to confuse non techy persons. One advice that we can give you here is that the newest mobile CPU technology always improve your battery life. On performance wise, they usually only improves at the rate that human being cannot notice the differences. If it is economically wise always choose the newer one.
6. Memory Matters
   We advice you to buy a laptop with minimum 2GB of RAM so you don’t have to upgrade it in the future. They’re cheaper if you buy them initially than to buy it for upgrade later. Also make sure that you opt for a pair of memory rather than 1 piece that disable Dual Channel feature that most of computers are running on now.
7. Built Quality
   You need to consider a sturdy laptop if you are planning to carry it around. Not that we expect you to drop it but it is better safe than sorry later.
8. Other Factors
   Sure you do not want to carry a hello kitty themed notebooks to your office meeting or buy an Apple notebooks only to find out that all your software works only for Windows OS right?

Ultimately, it is you that make the final decision. Choose wise and don’t spend extra money to ship back your new notebook for a refund.
