What to Know Before Buying a Laptop

I want to do this! What's This?
When choosing to purchase a computer, one must account for many variables. Computers are not suited for the same purposes, so buying the wrong one can result in your own dissatisfaction and unhappiness. This guide will show you what you should take into consideration, and what types of computers will best suit your needs.
Do You Even Want a Laptop?
First, you should weigh the pros and cons of purchasing a laptop. Depending on your needs, you actually may want a desktop PC--or even a PDA. Laptops in general share some of the same attributes--they do not perform as well as desktop computers do, are frequently prone to cooling inefficiency, and depending on the brand can suffer from low battery life. Another common attribute of laptops is that they are much more expensive than their desktop counterparts. However, laptops have one huge advantage that cannot be equalled by a desktop computers: mobility. A laptop can be used anywhere, and offers unparalleled convenience.
Choose Your Laptop Manufacturer
The most obvious characteristic of a laptop is whether it is a PC or a Macintosh ("Mac"). Macintoshes are generally more expensive than PCs, but have a reputation for durability and reliability. Although their reputation is usually deserved, this does not mean that a PC is unreliable. Generally, most users will prefer a PC for one reason: third-party software compatibility. The broad majority of software developers produce software that will not initially be compatible with Macintosh computers.
How Will You Use Your Laptop?
There are three broad categories of laptop: the netbook, the personal computing laptop and the high-performance (or gaming) laptop. A netbook is a laptop with very low system specifications, but is generally very cheap. Users looking for something basic to connect to the Internet or check their email with will generally want to purchase a netbook. A personal computing laptop is average in every way, including the price tag. The average user will prefer a computer like this, as it will achieve everything most users could ask for. The high-performance laptop is generally prohibitively expensive, and users would save much more money buying an equitable desktop in terms of specifications. However, it will be able to accomplish just about anything asked of it, and will allow much more portability than it's PC counterpart--great for LAN parties or even the professional gamer.

How To Get Cheap Laptop In Nigeria

I have received many emails asking for more information on how to get cheap laptop for as low as N4,000. Honestly you can get it because I have bought up to 6 six pieces from there. The little problem is that you may find it difficult to locate the warehouse because it is located deep inside. Again, those laptops were not displayed outside.

What those vendors normally do is that they will go inside, buy it, clean it, and put it outside for sale. Those are the one you’ll see when you entered at the rate of N15,000, N20,000 and more. Again, remember those laptops are untested. Somebody asked me of the Model. You can get PII, PIII 7, P4. The price you buy it here is not a function of the model at all. Remember it is untested.


Now let me help you. I came all the way from Oyo Town. I dropped at Oshodi -Isale, I moved inside a garage and I entered Ladipo Market. When I dropped, I asked of the warehouse, I was directed to two by my right hand side. After I have exhausted all the warehouses and didn’t find what I want, one of those guys leading me now asked me to give them something because they want to go.



I said I cant give them anything because I didn’t see what I came for. It was then one of them said aunty! Never take anybody there o! and I said what concerns me in as much I am not a business woman. That was the genesis of the discovery.

The warehouse is the last by the left. If you entered through Oshodi-Apapa Express Road, it is the first by the right. Ask any of those guys selling phone accessories that, where is the warehouse around here, they will show you. Good luck and wishing you the best.

However, I didn’t recommend anybody because I don’t have any business with them than to go and buy from them. If you wish to have their Telephone Number or you want more information
