Factor to be Consider Before Buying Notebook

There are a few thing that need to be consider before we want to buy laptop or notebook. Notebook is one of the expensive thing so normally we won't buy notebook just for fun or because we like how that notebook look alike. Nowadays, there is many kind of notebook brand and come up with attractive design. So, i suggest a few thing to be think and consider to make sure you didn't waste your money for such an expensive thing like notebook only because of the attractive design and the offer.
Firstly, we must know why we want to buy the notebook. Is it for personal purpose such for doing assignment if you are student or for business purpose. Student always use laptop for doing their assignment and also for entertainment. For those who like to play games or download dramas (such Korean dramas) in their laptop, high capacity notebook hard disk with good lighting is good for you. And for those who totally doing assignment using their notebooks, Acer Aspire One is just okay with you. This because, Acer Aspire One is come up with low capacity hard disk, light, cute and the price is really cheap.
Beside that, the price is one of the factor. Buy notebook with your affordable price and below your budget. Don't spend too much on your new notebook because remember there is always have a maintenance cost. Laptop sometime might have a problem and you need to send it for service. Yes right, you have a warranty. But, me myself already faced this problem before that the service center didn't not cover the problem even the problem happen to the hardware. At last, i repaired it using my money and the warranty is void. Hopefully, you are lucky and didn't face the same situation like me. Otherwise, beside laptop you might need to buy the printer if the notebook seller didn't include it as a gift. Thus, remember to include on your budget the printer and maintenance cost.
Then, you must know the specification of the notebook. Each computer have different function. For example some computer may have 120GB HDD, 1GB RAM, webcam, dvd and CD-RW Combo. This specification you need to know because the price always depend on the notebook specification. The more function of your notebook, the higher the price.
Brand name also need to be consider. Some brand like Apple, Dell and Compaq are surely very good notebook because they try to maintain their strong brand name in the market. But for some other new brand sometime might have a problem especially with the hardware.
Lastly, i think the seller is also important. Find the seller that offer attractive price, valuable gift such mouse, printer, thumb drive and service after purchase. Normally at PC or Computer Fair there are many seller there and you can choose on your own the best seller.
I wish you could find the best one of your future notebook. Happy Shopping!!

Another way to get website traffic is to focus your content on the keywords related to your site. This is called search engine optimization or SEO. The importance of SEO cannot be stressed enough.

Exchange your website link with other sites that are closely related to your site. Just be careful to only exchange links with high quality sites. You don’t want to ruin your online reputation by having links to junk sites on your website. By exchanging links with a website that is already doing a lot of traffic, you can get a lot of traffic of your own. This method is free and it works fast.

Finally, you need to advertise. There are hundreds of ways you can advertise your website. Find out ways to advertise from a reputable Internet marketer. This information will be like gold to you.

Mini Notebook

Mini notebook now is really hot in the market.Three of the popular mini notebook on the market ---> Asus Eee PC, Acer Aspire One and MSI Wind U100. Few thing you need to consider if planning to buy mini notebook is you need to know that this type of notebook is truly portable device for web browsing, office applications and video playback.

Playing game with very light graphic is nit suitable. So, if you are gamer, this class of notebook totally did not suit with you. For the performance, most of the mini notebook use an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, which is able to handle everything a mini notebook can throw at it while just sipping on the watts.

The feature you have to look are the battery life, amount of storage available, operating system and comfort of keyboard. Like Asus, the manufacturer offer a 6-cell battery standard with their mini notebook instead of the 3-cell versions found in others, giving you a running time of up to five hours and if you lower the brightness, up to a maximum of seven hours.

While storage space for mini notebooks tend to come with as little as 8GB.The 8GB isn’t a lot of storage space as the operating system already takes up about 3GB to 4GB, leaving you with little to install programs and store files.You can extend the storage by get the SD card but some memory cards tend be slower in transfer rate and certain files have to be installed in the same ­partition as the operating system.

The other thing to look out for is the operating system as the devices ship with either Windows XP or some flavour of Linux.

Both operating systems are fine if you just browsing the Web, checking e-mail messages and doing word processing because all ship with some version of Microsoft Words or OpenOffice.

However, if you are in the habit of installing programs, then Windows XP is probably a better because it’s easier to find applications that work for it than for Linux.

In fact, whether it’s Xandros Linux on some Eee PCs or the Linpus Linux that ships with the Aspire One, installing applications on Linux is an ­extremely dicey affair.

It usually requires you to know about hacks to enable third party ­software installation and even worse, Linux Terminal commands!

Lastly, you have to consider how comfortable the keyboard is — for instance, the Eee PC 901 has a ­smaller keyboard which is only suitable for people with small fingers, while the MSI Wind has a nice roomy keyboard.

Keyboard size is largely a matter of preference so we urge you to at least type a text document before committing on a purchase.

In addition, WiFi comes with all mini notebooks as standard although some, like the Eee PC, are more forward-looking and offer the latest 802.11n chipsets.(source:the star)

Shopping Online

I like to buy thing online especially computer part and accessories. Lately, I bought notebook adapter online. The quality is good and the price is very reasonable compare if I buy in the shop. Shopping online no need to go to the shop and I can survey the price from one seller to one seller. What I need to do is just surf the net, go to the specific website, browse the product, and compare the price.
After I got the product I like, I will contact the seller (but make sure the seller is not cheating on you), ask for payment method and also negotiate the price. Then, I pay the seller using Maybank2u. All I need to do is in my finger. No need to waste your fuel, energy, time and money to go for real shopping. Beside that, I can get the item as soon as possible because normally the seller will send the item using courier service which is Poslaju, Skynet or Nationwide.
Usually I will buy from Lowyat or Lelong website. There are many sellers in Lowyat and Lelong. In Lowyat, normally the seller is the seller in Lowyat Plaza. But there have some seller not from Lowyat Plaza. Whatever it is you must be careful before you purchase and make sure the item is available before buy. Also request the seller to show the pic of the item and ask about the item condition whether it is new, open box or used item and the warranty of the item.
You can browse lowyat.net website and shopping there by go to lowyat forum àgarage salesàbrowse product by category.
If you want to buy from lelong, you need to register as member. Then you can buy and sell online. Details you can find more on Lelong website. This for newly user, not for expert internet user.
