Part 3: Protecting and Maintaining your PC (coming soon) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Choosing a notebook PC that's right for you ----------------------------------------------------------------- Notebook PCs are light, powerful, durable--and they give you true freedom and mobility. They make it convenient to work, study, and enjoy your movies and music anywhere. Plus, they can offer as much processing power and memory as desktop models. Notebook PC features to consider Display size: Notebook PC displays range from 10" to 17". A 17" widescreen display with a wide viewing angle and high resolution is ideal for watching movies and editing photos. Wireless capabilities: To get online from public places, your home, or anywhere within 150 feet of a Wi-Fi base station, you'll need a wireless LAN modem. To allow your PC to communicate, cable-free, with other wireless devices (such as printers) within a range of about 30 feet, you'll need Bluetooth. Learn more wireless basics. >> http://www.hp.com/info/hho-ng-bts-notebook-wireless-basics Batteries: Lithium-ion batteries typically last up to three hours.* You can double your notebook PC's uptime by carrying an extra battery. Weight: Most notebook PCs weigh between three and 10 pounds. A lighter notebook may not have an internal CD/DVD drive, but it's easier to take with you than a heavier model. If you aren't ready to buy a new computer, upgrading your current PC is another option. Boost your processor speed if you want to play computer games. Add memory to run more applications at once. And consider a flat-panel LCD monitor for crisp visuals.
