How to choose a perfect notebook (go back »)

April 21 2009, 3:09 AM

If you were thinking about a netbook, but considered them too small and limited, if you wanted a very portable Blu-Ray player, or if you’d always wanted something small but were turned off by the higher price, you’d drift toward the DV2. If what you wanted was something you were going to live off of as your primary computer, or needed something with longer battery life and didn’t care about Blu-ray, the DV3 would be the better choice. In reality, if you thought about your priorities first, you would never have to decide between these two products any more than you’d ever need to choose between a Miata sports car and an SUV.
Once you know what you want, you can reduce the choices you have to make, and simply chose the product out of a class of machines, rather than the entire population of them.
The smallest size screen you can actually live on is 12 inches. A 14-inch widescreen is the largest size that will fit comfortably on the tray in most coach airline seats, but 13.3 inches feels more ideal in this use, and it is also one of the most popular sizes. Also, 13.3-inch screens typically give you a full-sized keyboard, which can be important for those of us that have big hands. Anything larger than a 14-inch widescreen is very difficult to comfortably use in a coach airline seat. If you do a lot of productivity work, then you will want more than one processor core, and if you do any graphics work or want to watch HD movies, you’ll need discrete graphics (though it will cost you battery life). On the road, you’ll want something that will take a nine-cell or better battery, to get the required battery life. I’m personally not a fan of large hard drives on laptops, because they encourage people to put a large amount of company information on them, which can be problematic if the thing gets stolen. However, if given a choice, I’d pick speed over capacity in almost all cases, when it comes to hard drives.
Before buying your next laptop, think about what is important to you. Cool does count, which is why products like the MacBook Air sell well. Don’t forget to set a budget, and realize that you can actually get, as these offerings demonstrate, some impressive technology for under $900. Also remember to check the return policy, and make sure that if you take a notebook home and realize it isn’t right for you, that you can return it. When you fire up a new notebook, both the antivirus and the search programs will need to index your files.
