Tips for Buying an Apple Laptop

Having won numerous awards, both in the UK and further afield, Apple laptops are often the first choice for people in the market for a new or replacement laptop and both brand new and refurbished options are both hugely popular. However, thanks to the many options available and the diverse requirements of people looking for new laptops, there is much to consider when buying an Apple laptop:

Screen

Despite the fact that Apple are famed for their “bigger is better” attitude towards screen size and with each different screen size there is an adjusted resolution to enhance picture quality and definition, there is still a world of choice available from the many options.

Portability

Designed with a sleek aluminium cover, Apple laptops have been created for travelling; they are handy, lightweight and tough to ensure that your work and external components are well protected. However, with each different model comes a different casing and weight so consider your needs when choosing and buying an Apple laptop.

Updates

Although Apple are often at the forefront of technology, there is a tendancy for them to improve the model and release new replacement technology rather than improving on what their customers already have. Although, of course, the updates are there, you should consider whether the machine you’re considering purchasing has lasting appeal and if not, whether you will be able to afford to update as you need to.

Memory

Although the built-in memory of Apple laptops is quite high as standard, many users have noted that it can be difficult for a user to improve on the memory by adding their own hard or software. Therefore, ensuring that you have the right amount of memory when buying an Apple laptop could save you valuable time and trouble in the long run.

Battery Life

The minimum battery life on the most basic of Apple machines, the Macbook is 7 hours which is more than adequate for many users. However, if you require or are likely to require more than that then one of the more high-tech models such as the Macbook Pro or Air is likely to be a better choice for you.

Cost

Of course, the defining factor for many people when buying any form of technology is the cost. Whilst there is no denying the fact that Apple products are not at the cheaper end of the market, their users do believe they represent good value for money and therefore are a good investment. However, if the cost of a brand new Apple laptop is a little too rich for your blood then it’s worth considering that you could make valuable savings by considering a refurbished Apple laptop.

Guarantees

Whether you choose to buy a brand new or refurbished Apple laptop, you can be assured of receiving a warranty. The most basis of warrantees may only be for one year but the majority of retailers offer their customers the option of an extended warranty, giving you additional protection should you require it.
