So, Which Is The Best Laptop To Buy?

The question isn't, "Which is the best laptop to buy?" It's actually, "Which is the best laptop to buy for me?" Every computer user has different expectations and different user needs, so the best laptop to buy for one user may not be the best laptop to buy for another. Laptop selection depends more on user needs than anything else!
I'll give you a couple of examples:

User A:
User A surfs the internet daily, using chat rooms, browsing forums, posts on blogs, and making purchases online. User A rarely does anything else, so the best laptop to buy for User A would be the basic deal.

User B:
However, User B is a different story. User B writes programming code, compiles strings of data, runs multiple large applications while switching between them, uses his laptop as his media entertainment center, and plays the latest graphic-intensive video games released. User B's best laptop to buy would be the top of the line laptop, because User B is a power user.
I know there are many people that would either fall between User A and User B, and the best laptop to buy for those people may also be something in between.

For those people, here's a quickie list:
Computer Specs:
If you frequently use certain applications or play specific games, make sure the laptop meets or is above the recommended requirements! Above would be better because future software updates could cause your computer lag if it's only barely meeting the requirements.

Graphics:
Make sure you have a dedicated graphic card if you're a gamer! Dedicated graphic cards are the only way to go, since shared memory actually takes away from your RAM to use for graphic-intensive games and applications.

Ports:
Think USB 1.0 & USB 2.0, FireWire, PS2 (mouse/keyboard), HDMI, and other possible ports you may want. You can always get a USB device that will allow you to add more expansion ports, but some of these you may want built in. Take the time to go through the list.
I hope this helps! If you would like to check out a more in-depth guide, read this buying guide!
