Buying a laptop - what to look out for

Many users have the problem that when buying a new laptop they are unsure what is actually needed. Many offers circulate around seemingly good and beneficial hardware, but in the end, most users neither use nor need it. So what should you look out for when buying a new laptop?

Laptop purchase: what you need to look out for

What you need to look out for as a user when buying differs quite a bit from the intention behind the purchase. In what way the laptop is to be used dictates what is needed.

1. If you need a pure multimedia laptop, you can usually get away with it quite cheaply.
2. Such a laptop primarily only needs a lot of memory and little power, which is usually the cheapest option.
3. If the laptop is to be used for gaming, a strong CPU and a good graphics card play a particularly important role.
4. For video editing, especially laptops with a lot and fast working memory are suitable, which is also supported by a good processor.

What should absolutely be included?

1. Make sure that at least 8 GB, but rather 16 GB working memory is available.
2. The hard drive space should also not be kept too low. Eine SSD mit mehr als 500 GB Speicher ist oft ausreichend.
3. Stellen Sie sicher, dass der Laptop gut Wärme abtransportieren kann, sodass die Hardware nicht zu heiß wird.
