We are very often asked how to choose a notebook. In fact for a mainstream user there are not too many options to consider.

• Do not buy the notebook with Intel or S3 graphics. Choose NVidia or ATI graphics instead.
• Make sure the notebook has an international warranty, preferably 2 years or more.
• Decide what’s more important for you — portability or usability. Usually it will be very tiresome for eyes to work long hours on the screen sizes less than 13″. On the other hand, 17″ screen notebook is not a nicest thing to lug around on a world tour. Most common size is 14″ wide screen.
• If you want to watch movies from the notebook on the LCD or Plasma TV, make sure the notebook has an HDMI output and it supports HDCP.
• Will the battery last long enough for your needs?

The brands we currently recommend and sell are ASUS, Dell and Acer.
