Performance Laptops or All Purpose Laptops?
Posted by: suicidalsam in Computer, General, LaptopThere are quite a lots of laptops people can choose from but not all of them offer the best value for money. One of the most popular laptops today is HP branded. HP laptops looks sleek and performance is not bad either. HP laptops are lot cheaper than Sony laptops and the hardware is not that far off either so it is better to get HP laptop than to get a Sony laptop. Dell on the other hand don’t make sleek laptops, the hardware is great but the looks should put some people off. Dell laptops are usually dull. I also have one, a Dell Vostro 1500. It is great in terms of performance and value for money but it suffers a lot in terms of looks. I wrote about a Dell XPS M1330 laptop some time ago and it is for me one of the best looking laptops Dell has produced till date. You can customize this laptop according to your computing needs and get it for decent price.
If you don’t need lot of computing power, I suggest you get an all purpose laptop with decent hardware inside it. I got my Dell Vostro 1500 for relatively cheap price ($699 after taxes) and I don’t regret buying it except, I should have got a bigger hard drive. If you are looking for pure performance then it will cost you some money. Here are some of the best laptops performance wise for the year 2007. Now as it is a year older, you will be able to purchase it at a lot less price and get a decent performing laptop for it. It won’t be able to compete with todays top end performance laptops but it should be more than good enough for most of us. Which laptop would you go for, a top end high performance laptop or an all purpose one?
You should see a lot of changes in terms of technologies inside a laptop as they are beginning to outsell desktops now. There is a valid reason for this. First off, laptops are portable and has hardwares derived from lot of research as they need to be a lot more smaller than a desktop hardware has to be. Here is some laptops 2009 news for you. According to Intel, one billion people own laptops and the laptop sale will surpass desktop sell by 2009. Intel are also looking to bring technologies to laptops that will make it affordable for the masses.

yes, dell XPS series laptops are one of the best designed laptops by Dell but I HP laptop looks more sleeker than any other I have seen.
I don’t like high performance laptops as they cost a lot of money and I don’t play games which is why most people buy high performance. All purpose laptops has to be the right option for most of the users.
