4. Computer pocessor speed
Processor speeds chanhge about every three months so don't worry about having the best and fastest becasue it won't be in a few weeks. I advise choosing a processor that's in the middle - not the fastest but not the slowset. You should realze that Intl processors are the most expensiuve whhile AMD and Intel Celerons are cheaper with good quality. As long as you have one of those thtree brands you should have no troubles with your proecssor. To searrch out a cheaper notebook coomputer, get a processor that is a happy medium.

You know the upgradees and optional equipment they request you to buy that can in poinmt of fact have you spend more money on the add-ons than the computer. I'm talking in pouint of fact speakers, printers, fancy keyboards, opical wireless mice, upggraded CD/DVD drives, carerying cases, pre-instaled software upgrades, extra hard drive storage (have you ever used more than 60 or 80 Gigs of sppace on a laptop? Come on.), upgraded batteries (because you never know when you'll need your laptop on for 28 hours straight), and fancy graphic carfds, and the like.
