There are many factors that need to be taken into account when purchasing a laptop or desktop. The factors differ. When buying a laptop, the consumers general purpose for such a purchase is because they want to be able to bring their laptop with them, whether it's from home to work, or home to college. If a person is going to be lugging around a laptop with them for portions of the day, they want it to be effortless. That is why the factor of weight needs to be considered before buying a laptop of the intent is to bring it around with you like a personal slave. It is true that constructing a lightweight laptop would cost more, but the money you spend extra on this laptop will save you from back breaking pain after carrying around laptop with you all day.
Another factor to take into account when buying a laptop, especially for use outside of the home or office, is the power consumption. Battery life is crucial for people on the go. A low budget laptop would provide the user with 2 to 3 hours battery life. A high quality laptop should provide around 4 hours. Again this will jack up the price. But isn't worth it?
Depending on what the laptop or computer is going to be used for, processing power is important. If you're looking to buy machine just to keep yourself on facebook and to play the occasional game of solitaire, then don't worry about this to much. Even if the purpose of the laptop is just for office use, an entry level processor like the single core celeron is more than enough to keep your machine running efficiently In the case of more enthused users, a core 2 duo or something of equal processing power would be of recommendation.
Once again, especially for people looking for a laptop for use on the go, warranty becomes an important factor. Laptops out and about are more likely to get damaged, Although most warranties only cover non physical damage. But the longer the warranty and the more it covers, the better.
