Most laptops will look similar on their advertised features - like number and speed of processors, amount of memory etc. While choosing a laptop, I would look at - 1. What warranty they offer for parts and labor. 2. Their memory speed and whether they offer DDR or DDR2 type. Hardware goes obsolete in less than 6 months. 3. What is their "Front Side Bus" speed (in case Intel), makes a huge difference in performance when compared between same kind of CPUs. 4. Need high performance graphics only if I need to play games / watch movies or other scientific computation involving images. 5. Does it have a DVD ROM or DVD RAM and what formats of DVD it supports. 6. Does it have a DVI video output as it is going to replace VGA standard. 7. A security chip is nice to have.
