The HP EliteBook 5320m (”m” for “mobile”) is the end of the range with a thickness of 2.2 cm.
Its 13.3-inch screen (screen 33 cm in diameter) in aluminum case gives it a slick look but still compatible with the necessary strength and desired by the professionals: the chassis of the HP 5320m Probook is indeed alloy magnesium (looking “brushed”), which makes it resistant to shocks (I have not gone further investigations in order to make my HP equipment in good condition).
Timeliness: the test opening and closing of the PC

Nothing more painful in fact a PC “train” at the opening.

Precisely, the HP 5320m is slow to “get” more than a minute to access the Windows password, then 35 seconds or more before hand.

Extinction, by cons, quick, was timed at 17 seconds.

The market for laptop is very much alive, the innovations are frequent and performance is increasing while the price, weight and size down.

Dimensions

Transportable
If you do not really need mobility, that is to say that you do not move constantly with your machine, you do not work in unlikely places, it is unnecessary to buy a small portable . Choose a model somewhat larger but with a large screen (17 “or 18″), a separate numeric keypad and a large battery is then a good choice in terms of ease of use.

Mobile
Your computer will follow you everywhere but you need a minimum of user comfort. A 15.4 “is enough and is not so bulky. The weight is reasonable and comfortable keyboard.

Mini laptop
The mini laptops are very small computers. The miniaturization, better still, allows components to make computers less powerful than 1 kg with all the features expected of a PC. You can place these machines in a small bag and use it anywhere. Interesting for a great need for mobility, frequent travel or work anywhere.

Specifications

Processor
It is the heart of the computer. The performance of a machine is greatly conditioned by the performance of the processor. Plus we want to run many software and powerful applications using different media more we will need a powerful processor (frequency> 2.4Ghz). But for desktop use or internet, we can afford to choose a mid-range processor (frequency = 2GHz). They are indeed powerful enough to use the computer fluid.

RAM
Also known as RAM, memory that temporarily stores data during processing by the processor. More capacity of RAM is the most important processor has rapid access to data that must be addressed. 1 GB of RAM seems to be a great day minimum. Microsoft even recommends 2GB for Vista can use effectively. Most notebooks are now supplied with 4GB of RAM. For mini notebook can be satisfied with 512 MB since applications will not use too greedy.

Storage space
The laptops are now showing hard drives with a capacity up to 500GB Hon. This data is important and necessary before purchasing the property to determine how much storage space will be needed. But size is not everything and must take into account the speed of access to stored data. A hard drive running at 7200 rpm will be more effective than 5400rpm. Some computers now offer flash memory or SDRAM. Unlike the hard drive, this storage method does not implement any mechanical component and is therefore less vulnerable. However, it is more expensive, does not yet have a very large space (up to approximately 16 GB) and have a limited life.

Graphics Cards
It is important if you practice games or 3D animation very hungry in the area. Do not hesitate to take a good graphics card because they become obsolete relatively quickly. It is recommended to provide a card with 512 MB of dedicated video RAM, coupled with a GPU powerful enough, choose to see the graphics card of his mobile.

Otherwise, it may be interesting to have a TV output on the laptop but the high performance graphics card may not be necessary. Moreover, mini notebook models and some entry-level offering just a graphics chipset (integrated chip on the motherboard), more than enough for office or Internet.

Connectivity
Try to consider all uses that are likely to make his machine and see what will need connectivity. Firewire particular is increasingly used for its performance (much faster than USB data exchange). Similarly, do not skimp on the USB ports, always useful (although thinking to check whether enough space for multiple devices). To watch movies on TV, remember also to check the HDMI connection. A multifunction card reader is also sometimes useful for transferring data from a camera or mobile phone.

Wallpapers

Size
There are laptops with screens ranging from 7 to 20 inches. The screen size depends on the use you want to make your machine. A large screen will pleasantly view movies, comfortable work or play. However, congestion will be greater and the weight. Instead a small screen from 12”and less can have a machine handy to carry.

Brightness
As for the pictures on paper should choose matte or gloss. The brilliant promotes watching videos with a drawn close to a TV. The mast it is certainly less enjoyable to watch but is less sensitive to glare. Again, the choice depends on your usage.

Autonomy
It is 2 to 8 hours in office use. It is a key point in choosing a laptop. It is good to know that the more powerful battery is heavier it is. This must be taken into consideration if you must carry your PC around. We can therefore influence the quality of the battery, but also on consumption. There are now low-power processors that allow machines to function much longer in total autonomy. Look carefully at the data constructors (knowing that they are often a bit optimistic).

Operating System
This is certainly the largest. If everyone is upset with Microsoft OS, more and more laptops come under low cost Linux distribution in order to save money on Windows licenses. The Linux system is fairly simple to use but it must still be some time to adapt if it is your first trip outside Microsoft. Similarly, all applications are not compatible with Linux, although there are software equivalents.

Noise and heat
We often forget these settings when choosing a laptop. Yet in practice, they often reveal dominant in terms of ease of use. Computers heat and why they are broken. Sometimes a breakdown can be very noisy. Similarly, it happens that some machines more heat than others. Verify these settings before the purchase is often difficult, especially if you order online. It is safe to say that the higher the ranges of these issues are less important.

Warranty
Depending on your level of computer experience, it may be interesting or not sign a contract with a warranty repair on site or phone support. In general, we cannot change any part on a laptop, take a long warranty seems sensible. Unless you change it often to be always on top.

Upgrade
Of course, we want to do with your laptop the same thing with their desktop: replace some old components by performing. While it is easy to add memory, it is not always easy to change the hard drive, only certain phones will change the processor, let alone have a graphics card interchangeably, so we must choose from the purchase.
Know that there are specialty stores that you change the processor or the graphics card if possible.
