Ultimate Laptop Buying Guide – Reviews by PC Magazine.

I’m a bit behind on my Laptop knowledge and found this article to be very informing.

My usual advice is to ask the person asking what laptop they should buy, “What do you want to do with it?”. If the reply is, Internet, word processing, accounts and basic games, then I’ll tell them to set a budget of AU$1000 and they’ll definitely get the speed and features they want. I don’t game on my PCs generally, and for all of the above my laptop is perfect. My Acer Aspire 5720z laptop cost AU$700.

If people want to play hardcore games I ask them if they really need a laptop, as a desktop will end up being a cheaper, more configurable option as bigger, better games come along. Laptops suitable for gaming are going to generally be over AU$2000, but that’s nothing compared to what a laptop used to cost.
