Read Moreyou need to know that- The purpose for getting that laptop is INFACT A strong determining factor- seen someone who does only word and excel needing a core i7 Laptop-ridiculous, isn’t it?

So the first question is what do you want to do with the pc? Then you talk of price, thereafter convenience. Well, here’s a guide

For the purpose of understanding, we’re going to classify laptops into three categories: Low end, Mid range and High end

Low end

For low end PCs you have the dual cores that can run up to 4GB RAM and also have basic PC features- Wi-Fi, DVD ROM, Webcam. Note though that much older versions do not come with camera. Obviously those without ROMs are much slimmer and of course lighter.

Type of work- These set of PCs can handle low range tasks like Word Processing, Playing DVD Movies, Taking Pictures, Browsing the internet, and sharing with other devices.

Mid range

For mid range PCs you have the Core i3s and the Quad Cores(four core processor) that can run up to 6GB of RAM and with basic PC features  although that are enhanced. This means you can perform more than three tasks at the same time.  Due to more cores in the processor. Again a mid range system has a special memory for graphics; this makes your system handle the display better ( graphic  memory  range from 256MB-512MB). Again slimmer versions are available although some do not come with DVD ROM.

Type of work- These set of PCs can handle mid level graphics software and can also do some heavy computing than their dual core counterparts.

High end

For high end PCs you have the core i5s and i7s and some quad cores handling from 8GB to as high as 32GB RAM (and yes, 32 GB). They still have your normal PC features but come with graphics memory from 1GB to 2GB and above. With these systems, you can perform more tasks than the mid range systems. The work stations fall within this category. Usually older versions appear bulky but more recent versions have much lighter and slimmer versions and some do not come with a DVD ROM.

Type of work- These set of PCs can handle high resolution and graphics intensive software (editing, animations etc), high end gaming, and very intense computing.

Now that you have a bit of a guide, you will agree that knowing the type of system you want should come as top priority then price comes next.
