Instructions

Step 1:

Consider how much you want to spend for a notebook computer. You can find brand new notebooks that are priced below $2,000. They are portable and lightweight. And you will be able to carry it with you, especially if you need to use one every day.

Step 2:

Browse the Internet for notebook review websites that can provide the latest information about different types of notebook computers and buyers opinions. NotebookReview.com lists several brands of notebook computers, bargain prices and online deals. Read consumer discussions to learn more about a particular notebook model that you may want to purchase.

Step 3:

Refer to computer guidebooks and magazines for shoppers. You can find a vast amount of information with the latest news and advice for buyers that are searching for a notebook computer.

Step 4:

Select the right type of notebook computer that will fit your needs. If you're planning to use a notebook as a replacement for a desktop computer, then consider an all purpose notebook. They have bigger screens and keyboards, but may be somewhat heavy to carry. Today's ultra portable notebooks are the easiest to carry because they weigh less than 5 pounds.

Step 5:

Decide what brand or manufacturer that you want and research their reputation.  Consider the notebook's specifications and the size of the display screen. Notebook display sizes can vary anywhere from 12.1 inches up to 20.1 inches. Its best to choose a size that you feel comfortable viewing.

Step 6:

Purchase a notebook computer with a fast processor.  AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) and Intel's Pentium processors are good, but you may want the latest dual core processors for the notebook that you want to buy.

Step 7:

Look for a notebook computer with large amounts of memory. A hard drive with at least 40 gigabytes is sufficient for most people. But if you want to store lots of media files, such as videos, MP3s or photographs, then choose a higher capacity drive. Also, make certain that the optical drive can read or make CDs and DVDs.
