Great, this post is 5 years old so most laptops should be x64. Even or phones are now x64, wow Moore's law and technology advancement. So fast.

Yep, these really are important and I am buying a gaming laptop. I checked this website: https://tinylaptop.net/5-best-gaming-laptops-under-1000-dollars-great-deals/ and compared all the factors you mentioned.

I found Dell 7855 G7 15 Flagship Gaming laptop to be the king of kings.

Yes, we must follow these essential steps before buying any laptop. I usually check the hard drive, ram, and CPU before buying any laptop. I also check for the graphic card and generation as these help in performance. I'm a medical student and enrolled this year. I have to do research and assignments on my course. I recently visited a techattend that helped me to answer which is the best laptop for nursing school students? They guide me step by step about the best nursing laptop at a reasonable cost.

Thanks for the advice, presently i use HP 620 laptop, its about ten yrs old. I want to upgrade it from 4gb ram to 12gb ram memory. I will also want to increase HDD memory 500HDD to 2TB SSD. PLease i need your advice.

While choosing the right laptop one should look for at least 1 TB SSD , 12 Gb of Ram and intel core i7 processor. Using a good laptop is absolutely important nowadays. Every people is literally working from their home. So for work from home purpose as well i will recommend anyone to go with a laptop under 60000 or 800$. In this price range there is a guarantee that you will get a good specification in which you will be able to work comfortably

Please how much do they change system IC or board?
Whenever I plugged the system it would be charging but it won't ON.
