Budget notebooks

Budget notebooks are a tough market for manufacturers. They have to produce quality systems for as little as possible and that often involves tradeoffs in hardware and software features. Most budget-minded buyers prefer minimum of what they need, without all the pricey add-ons and the razzmatazz of polished exteriors and luxurious extras. We highlight some points to look into when deciding on a laptop.

Price

Look for decent performance, wired and wireless networking options, within the range of $4500 till $8500. Unless you are absolutely sure of the purchase, check whether you can go in for a higher version or specification budget notebook that gives basic performance and acceptable build quality.

Features and Specs

Processor: Budget notebooks have lowest specifications and the processors are typically Intel Celeron or AMD mobile Sempron. Both these processors offer decent performance in the budget category.

Memory: A minimum of 256 MB is recommended.

LCD display: For comfortable viewing, most budget notebooks come with 14.1 inch screens at 1024*768 resolutions.

Other Features: A minimum of 2 USB ports, modem and preferably wi-fi (which is part of all mobile processors). Keep away from those that offer only basic CD ROM drives. A combo-drive is the minimum you should settle for.

Battery Life and Build Quality: The biggest compromise in a budget notebook is usually in its battery life and suspect build quality. Make sure battery life is 2-2.5 hours and check the build quality of the notebook thoroughly, specifically looking at overall chassis, LCD screen frame quality and keypad quality

Form Factor

Budget notebooks aim to strike a balance among the size, weight, features and power.
