Buyers Guide

This buyers guide should help you find a laptop that fits your needs according to your settings. The results are generated automatically from our database with several thousand reviews (our own and external reviews of other magazines). You may either use simple text questions or the more complicated matrix to get weighted results. Both combined at the same time is not possible. Note that the result is only a proposal which laptops may suit your requirements. They are no editorially checked recommendations. After a search, the selected questions are adopted in the matrix. That does not work vice versa. [17:17:04] Klaus Hinum / notebookCheck:

list of results

The following list of results is a compilation of notebooks which correspond the selected criteria primarily. It has been sorted according to the average total evaluation. If there is a lack of fitting results, the search criteria are extended. So suboptimal results are listed.

Certain criteria are not considered because they are not available in the data base. For example our algorithm does not implement the memory equipment and hard disk capacity for the laptop selection. These factors often vary depending upon the equipment of a model or are configurated individually by the buyer. The memory equipment should be at least 1GB for Windows Vista (at least 2 GB for more fastidious tasks like games). Concerning hard disk size, the capacity can never be sufficient for extensive music and video collections. However, other people will be satisfied by small 80 GB disks.
