Every time my client asks me for a recommendation of a notebook, I'd ask them to visit and find what they like and then come tell me the models... But first impression is really the key, plus sales pitches and hard-to-get-by offers are too irresistible at times! as such, I am here to define the ideal 27-checks on what an ideal notebook should be like... So here goes nothing!
Check #1
The screen!
- brightness
- reflective ness
- resolution
We see the screen through the lifetime of the notebook. In good times and bad times! Gosh, get a beautiful screen pls!
Check #2
- hard and solid hinges
The key to lasting notebook is its hinges and how they are placed. I love the thinkpad and their solid metal hinges. The screen is the thing that is opened and closed all the time.. Good notebook-solid hinges.
Check #3
- nice feel keyboard
- large enough keys
You need to type on the keyboard a lot. Do note the keyboard feel. Press on keys, hear the taps. Check for holes in between keys for easily trapped hair and dirt - and figure how to clean!
Check #4
- double click touchpad
- smooth and clearly seen left and right click
I hate how the new notebooks are imitating Apple's rendition of the single click mouse. They can master it with perfection, but the general manufacturers simply can't achieve it!
Check #5
- operating system: professional or business
Irregardless of home or office use, any home or non pro version equates to possibility of less longevity and less of a robustness to the machine.
