Pink Laptop Buying Guide - Overview

The fancy pink laptop has become popular among female laptop users especially after the movie legally blonde. I was once asked by a friend for recommendation for a new laptop. After recommending several laptop models which I think are good in performance with reasonable price, she ends up buying a pink fancy laptop (which is not in my list) with almost the same price, but with lower performance and functionality. I then realized that for some laptop users (mostly girls), a pink color laptop is much more important than any other aspects of a laptop. If you are one of those in this category, this is the pink laptop guide that will help you to get a pretty pink laptop, and yet with performance and functionality that suits your need. As an overview, these are the few important aspects of the laptop that you should consider when buying a laptop:

Portability
When we talk about portability, we are mostly referring to the size and the weight of a laptop. Most pink laptop lovers out there would rather have a smaller size laptop as it looks cooler and is of course more portable. But in fact, there are pros and cons for having a small laptop. Besides having a smaller screen and keyboard, it often has less features compare to their bulkier brethren due to its size limitation. On the other hand, the bulkier laptop has better functionalities and performance, but is hard to carry and occupying more space. So we will have to give up either one -- portability or functionality. It's important that we think about what's the most important to ourselves: performance, appearance, long battery life, functionality, or lower price. There are generally 5 categories of laptop in terms of portability: Desktop replacement, midsize, thin and light, ultraportable and tablet PC. You will find more in depth discussion about laptop portability in another article on this site.

Specs
Laptop comes in a wide variety of specs. Different specs will suit different people, depending on your own needs. Many manufacturers nowadays offer custom configuration for new laptop. So besides making sure that the color of the laptop is pink, it's critical that you understand at least the few most important specs of your laptop, to be able to select the specs that suit you most. We will break this into a few most important specs: processor, memory, display card and discuss each of them in details in a separate article.

Operating System
The operating system is the most important program which you use to operate your pink laptop. Using the right Operating system will save you a lot of times and money. So when buying a laptop, it's important that you know which operating system is installed. The three most common operating system for business and home users are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. While most laptops come with Microsoft Windows, which most people are most familiar with, there are laptops that are default to other OS such as the Apple MacBook (Mac OS), and the Asus Eee PC (Linux). So pay attention to what OS the vendor is offering before buying it.

Accessories
What accessories do you need for your pink laptop. This again is mostly depending on your own needs. Getting the right accessories will help you to improve the usability of your laptop.
