Now whenever you go to the market to buy any new or old laptop then keep these things in mind which I am going to tell you in the video because many of you just look at the looks and appearance and invest a lot of and bring home some garbage for yourself. So while buying a laptop some things matter a lot, that is what I have started highlighting in the video. Watch the video carefully and listen carefully, Inshallah your next laptop purchase will be a great deal.

Never buy a laptop by looking at i5, i7, or i9. You can buy any of these, but according to today's era, their generation should be at least 12 or 13. You should also focus on the processor model which is written last. If you want a high-performance laptop, then its processor should have H, HK, or HA written at the end. And if you want a normal-use laptop with good battery backup, then you can also buy a laptop that has P or Y written at the end of the processor.

For example, these are two laptops, both are i5, but one processor has H written at the end and the other has P or Y written. Now the upper one has very high performance on which you can do heavy work, but the lower one can't handle heavy work. That's why you should not just look at i7, i5, or i9 but also at their generation (12 or 13) and these model letters.

And never buy a laptop that has an HDD instead of SSD. Even in SSD, the next generations are third, fourth, and fifth. HDD should not be bought, and SSD should be at least fourth or fifth generation. And if there's no shortage of budget, I would suggest you buy NVMe SSD.

It matters more how many Mega MH or 5200 Mega MH or 7500 Mega MH it supports. If you are planning to buy a laptop whose RAM is less than 3200 Mega MH, then you should not buy such a laptop at all. Among these, choose a good laptop according to your budget which runs on good RAM.

If you want to do graphic designing, video editing, or any heavy work, then having a dedicated graphic card in your laptop is great. And here, it's not the memory of your graphic card that matters but its TGP (Total Graphics Power). The higher the TGP, the better the performance of that graphic card. So you can buy any GB graphics card, but you should check its TGP value.

According to today’s standards, any laptop of any brand you're going to buy must have at least one Thunderbolt port. 

You must check this. And if budget allows, I would recommend buying a laptop with OLED display. This will provide you a next-level experience for streaming, gaming, editing, designing, and all such work.

If you are buying a used laptop, then apply white, green, and black wallpapers one by one on its screen and observe closely. If there are white dots, black dots, spots, or dead pixels, you will be able to see them.

After this comes the turn of battery health. If you are buying a new laptop, then there is no issue. But if you are buying a used one, you have to go to its command prompt and enter the command to generate the battery report. Open the report and see: if the battery capacity is less than half, then do not buy that laptop. If it's more than half, then it's okay to purchase.

So, while buying a used laptop, checking the battery health is necessary.

Next is the cooling performance. It is very important to check whether your laptop overheats when doing heavy tasks. Sit down and perform the tasks you plan to do on it and see if it heats up. If it overheats, it won’t give you good performance.

 At the very least, RAM, processor, and graphic card should be upgradable. Because only those laptops where parts are removable will allow future upgrades. So check upgradeability.

Finally, there's the overall physical test. If you are buying a new laptop, you get warranty, but if buying a used one, then check its keyboard (all keys), touchpad, speakers, all ports, display, cooling fan, battery performance, webcam, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi one by one.

These are the points and things you must keep in mind while buying any new or old laptop. If you keep these in mind while purchasing, then Inshallah you will take home a great laptop for yourself.

So this is about laptop buyers. Now if any of you use iPhones or buy from the market, take care of yourself. Keep remembering me in your prayers. If alive, I’ll meet you again.
