I want to buy a new laptop for normal home use. No preference for brand.

Cash is not tight but don't want to be cheated. Friends say go SimLim for good deals.

Got recommendation which shop to go to to SimLim ?

What to ask for ?

Hi Laptop,

It is good if you are to know what you want from the laptop/notebook. There are just too many brands/specifications to choose from - not knowing your product will not put you in the best interest when you approach the sales person in sim lim square.

Some guides:

1. Size and Weight

2. Screen Size

This may not be the utmost important for you since you'll be using it for home use. However, what's your preference for the screen size? Resolution? Matte or Glossy screen?

3. Processors (CPU)

Which processor do you prefer - Intel or AMD?

4. Memory

When looking at laptop/notebook, you may want to make sure to check the maximum memory the system can handle. Also, ensure for the availability of memory slot for future upgrading.

I recommend a minimum 512MB and at least 1GB for improved performance.

5. Graphic Processor

The graphic processor will determine the performance for 3D graphics and gaming. [Though, laptop has never been good for gaming].

6. Drives

What's your desired storage space? Also, look out for optical drives.

7. Networking

Should include wireless connectivity with an 802.11 a/b/g

8. Ports - USB/PCMCIA/Bluetooth/Firewire

9. Battery Life

Check for manufacturer's listed battery life for standard battery.

10. Warranty Plans

If budget is not a problem, go for the higher end - IBM, Fujitsu. Alternatively, you can check for Toshiba, HP, Compaq, Acer, Asus, Sony. [Do note that this is just my personal preference and does not serve as an accurate indication for the 'best' quality]

There are many shops in SLS selling laptop/notebook. These are the few shops that I had patronised before:

1. @ notebook.com

2. AAAs Com Solution Pte Ltd

3. Renova Technologies
