How to buy a laptop (and how not to)

This book is for those who want to buy a new laptop and are confused by the wide array of options available. This can be used by both the tech savvy and the Is-RAM-some-kind-of-goat? kind of people. Technology has improved so much in a short period of time and most of the times, people buy the wrong system just because something had a fancy name or the guy behind the counter said so. Not only is it a waste of money but you ll be stuck with that junk for some time before you decide to get a new one. I have kept the technical jargon to a minimum and explained it in places that can cause confusion.
