There are many different types of laptops you can purchase. First look at what you want to use the laptop for. If its games, make sure your laptop has a high quality video card, sound card, and at least 4gb of ram. If you are looking to have this for work, make sure you have a decent harddrive capacity.
The two most important factors in buying a laptop is what you want to do with it and if it supports the OS you want to run on it. Laptops for gaming need a good graphics card, but standard usage only requires a good processor and a lot of RAM.
What do you want to do with it? Email, websurfing, microsoft word= 1-2GB ram, small hard drive, single core processor. Gaming, music-video editing, 3-4gb ram, big HD+ dual core processor.
The basic to look for are enough disk space, a fast enough cpu, and enough memory. A decent computer should have over a 100gb's of hard drive space, At least 2. 5 to 3ghz processor, and about 3gb's of ram depending on the operating system.
this is what i would do to buy a laptop. a apple macbook is a really nice laptop there fast and very easy to use they cost a bit more but there better in the long run
