Essential Laptop-Buying Tips At The Washington Post
Rob Pegoraro writing over at The Washington Post.com highlights some key pointers potential laptop buyers should consider before plunking down the cash. 'If you just need a semi-portable machine to move from room to room in your house, without ever untethering it from an electrical outlet, you can't go too wrong with shopping by price alone or some obvious factor such as screen size. But if your laptop will exit home on any regular basis -- say, if you're a student looking at years of toting the machine from dorm to classroom -- you have far more things to contemplate. And the two most important factors among them, a laptop's weight and battery life, are either routinely hidden in marketing materials or not published at all.'
