We all face buying decisions for laptops every few years. Those tend to be pretty important decisions as laptops these days are like our constant companions. So, we better like what we are stuck with.
When we make those decisions, the big questions (aside from deciding wide screen vs square etc) are around the specs. How many GB hard drive? Dual core? Blah blah.
Now, for those of you who use your personal laptops primarily for browsing, email and multimedia (and not for hardcore processor heavy tasks – I think we make a good 50% of the population), I have a tip.
Forget the specs, focus on the keyboard.
Of course, you have the basic decision to make – is it going to be a small portable laptop? or a bigger laptop with big screen, many USB ports etc. Once you are past that, I really hope you do focus on your keyboard because if that ain’t comfortable enough, it won’t matter how good your other specs are. All you’ll be doing is fighting pain in your fingers..
All the best with choosing your laptop!
