    There are many considerations to take into account before plopping down a large sum of money for a laptop computer. Consider first what you will be using your portable computer for, and then select the laptop that takes care of those needs. For example, if you just need a laptop to check your e-mail, light internet surfing, and word processing, you can probably get by with spending around $500 for a laptop. Here are some general guide lines to keep in mind, and make your decision a little easier.

    1. Look for a laptop with alternate technology especially if you're on a budget. For example, a notebook utilizing an AMD processor is generally cheaper than one using an Intel processor.

    2. Choose a laptop that has at least 512 MB of memory. If that isn't possible, make sure that the laptop is upgradeable to 512 MB or more of RAM memory.

    3. It makes sense that the faster the processor clock speed is the faster your computer will run your programs. Choose a laptop with at least a 1.6 Ghz processor. This speed should put you in the Pentium 4 or higher class of CPUs.

    4. Select a laptop from one of the top manufactures such as Dell, Gateway, or Toshiba. This will insure you can get parts and service if you ever need them.

    5. Lastly, make sure your laptop has wireless capabilities. Many businesses and institutions across the US now offer free wireless web access. Most laptops manufactured in the last 3 years have this type of technology. If you are a road warrior this is a must have feature.
