Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Compare the 8210 with others. Its dual-core functionality allows you run lots of applications, as complex as they might be, at the same time. The X1600 graphics turn it into a mini entertainment system wherever you might be. The added built-in web camera makes it easy to keep in contact with people through video conferencing.

Step2

Consider the 6291, small and lightweight, for easy traveling capability. It comes with a removable optical drive, in case you want to make it even lighter.

Step3

Look at the 5720 and notice the professional look achieved by a magnesium alloy chassis. Like the other laptops in the TravelMate series, this, too, boasts the Intel Centrino Duo processor. Also like the rest, wireless connectivity makes it easy to access the Internet from any place you may travel with such connection.

Step4

Notice the features of the 4230. Like the others that are made for rigorous use and demanding business schedules, the memory is large enough and the processor strong enough to allow you to use many applications simultaneously. The Super-Multi drive and the 5-in-1 card reader allows for maximum storage space as well.

Step5

Make detailed comparisons between these and other available models by looking at them in stores, where possible, and by checking reviews by those who have used them. Do this until you find one that fits your needs.
