This is a difficult question and a matter of personal preference. There are many different laptop models which all suit different needs. A rule of thumb to follow is to weigh which functions are most important to you in terms of portability and speed.
A laptop with heavy specs and hardware is often heavier and clunkier; this is due to bigger laptops needing bigger cooling systems. But progress has been very fast, and today, even the so-called ultraportable laptops are exceptionally speedy and are more than enough to meet most needs.
The average laptop lasts for up to six years. This is slightly shorter than for a desktop computer. As opposed to desktops, laptops are not as easy to upgrade with more modern parts after purchase. It often can’t be done at all.
Additionally, a laptop is carried around, which adds to the faster wear and tear of the machine. The battery also wears out with time, and if this can’t be replaced, a new purchase will be necessary.
There is nothing specific with laptops that makes them slow. But just like a desktop, the computer becomes slower with time as it's constantly filled with new programmes and heavy documents. There are a number of ways to refresh a laptop that has become a little slow and weary with time.
Laptop batteries have a lifetime of between 2.5 and 3 years. The capacity becomes worse over time; decreased battery performance can sometimes happen only after a year’s usage. The warranty for the battery on laptops is usually around six months. Some laptop models can have the battery changed, but for certain models, it’s more difficult. On some laptops, the battery can’t be changed at all.
A laptop is usually used with a so-called trackpad or touchpad that is built into the keyboard. This is used instead of a classic computer mouse. It can be disconnected, and if you’ve done this, it needs to be reactivated. This is done in Windows via the Start button and the Control panel. The setting can be found under the music icon. If you want to use a normal computer mouse, you generally just have to connect it via the USB port.
