1. Choose your wireless equipment

Wireless router
A computer with built-in wireless networking support or a wireless network adapter

Processor type will make different with what kind of task you ask from your laptop. Because the higher the number of the processor the faster it works. And this is very useful when you do graphic and multimedia works, and not to mention this kind of work will consume more energy. Of course it will be redundant when you your laptop task is just only browsing and e-mail work. Again this is only efficient and effective consideration from me. OK let’s start what are options in processor criteria.

First - Low Voltage

Designed and engineered for longer battery life but not the fastest performance

Second – Economy

The single core is good enough for web surfing, e-mail, and word processing. This kind of processor doesn’t work as well as dual processor in multitasking.

Third – Mainstream

The dual processor works smoothly in multitasking. Take equal between energy efficiency and performance.

Fourth – High Performance

This kind of processor is processing in fastest performance for gaming or any other application like graphic and multimedia.

Next option is Memory Capacity
