Emmysteve:
Thank you for the information. I want to buy a laptop for a budget of 25k. A fairly used mini laptop for blogging and social networking. Which one would you recommend? Thanks.

if you have followed this write up very well u should understand I'm not a marketer,just wanted to be of help,what you do now is make ur research first, then u choose your brand,if u like HP or dell fine,then u go for the one with a good hard disk space and good RAM,the RAM size is very important. if u buy that of a small RAM size it will hang as often, another thing is the battery life.buy a laptop not a laptop desktop. make ur research with the knowledge you nobody will give you nonsense.

my android phone does not show in my laptop when I connect with USB chord

sometimes it's not your android phone that's the problem check the usb cord to confirm and sometimes it is, most times it's caused by virus if it has been working with your system before try updating your anti virus and scan your system properly.

Princepri:
well written. I have bought 2 laptop I regretted. I was lure by cheap price and portability. I've learnt my lesson now.
but OP you forgot to add BATTERY LIFE.
In Nigeria, you should consider battery life on any tech device you're buying. Nigeria power supply can do wonders.

you are very right,but I have a better topic on laptop power durability loading...

thanks thanks

Muhammedbashir:
Abeg, if dat d case, cn it be easily repair.

very easy

thanks

Miscellaneous:

thanks for the reply. But do u know How much does it cost for a replacement?

not really but I bet is not much.

Many articles have been written on this topic yet many are still making the wrong choices everyday. Is it that they don't understand the articles or not? NO the answer is they are not led by the right information. What then is this right information? it has been briefly discussed in this article. It is very important you keep detailed attention to this article,if you are planning to get a new laptop. as i have took my time to analyze all you need here to get that dream gadget of yours,enjoy your reading.

1. PURPOSE:

It is very important to know why you desire a laptop. laptops are designed for a variety of purposes and when you are not guided with the specific purpose you desire or need it for,you might end up buying what is no t suitable for your purpose and becomes a partial loss. A business brand laptop may not work perfectly for gaming or graphics. This is one very good reason why, anytime anybody ask me for guidelines on how to get a laptop suitable for their businesses,my first question is always, what do you need a laptop for,what is the purpose? it will be senseless to buy a very expensive laptop just for fun unless you have money to waste.

2. CHOOSE A BRAND:

After a good knowledge on the reason you need a laptop,the next thing is to choose a brand you like.they are different kind of laptops in the market,you just have to make a choice here because you will not buy all. your purpose for a laptop may guide you to the brand best fit for your business.An apple product will not be a bad idea for someone who needs a laptop for ethical hacking or programming due to the kind of operating system running in it and it's security level. Make enquiry from people who share same purpose with you see why they chose their product and how positive that product has been to their purpose.when you have gathered all the information you won't find it difficult choosing a brand. you should understand we have different brands with same or almost the same compatibility,so your choice is very important here,so the marketer don't give what he believes is right and may not be right for you.do your home work.

3. BUDGET:

Now you know your brand the next is to know the type you can afford this will lead you to drawing a budget. there are different categories in every brand what you can afford will determine what to go for. Sometimes the importance matters,if you are certain the laptop will become a money bank for you invest more on a very good one,especially for those going for on-line businesses. Make enquiry on all the types,you can go to their offices and ask for the price,nobody will insult you. i can remember a time i went to SAMSUNG'S office to know the actual price on an air conditioner. when you have gotten a list of the prices make sure you ask for the difference between each,pick a pen and paper and write them. the Internet is our friend today you can do all this from a click. when you are sure of the type you want save towards it.

4. CONTENT AND EFFICACY:

Now you have made your choice and you have your money at hand. Many make the mistake of buying a laptop because of the outward appearance, the appearance matters but "all that glitters is not gold". with your list from the our previous point. you pick out what exactly is important to your purpose. a good knowledge about computer parts and their function is necessary here as it will guide you on the kind of system you are going for. some contents that can not be neglected when getting a system are as follows;

a. Hard-disk drive (HDD) size
b. RAM size
c. Processor type
d. Screen size
e. HDMI compatibility e.t.c

We have many things to consider but left with this very important ones we can make a great choice choosing our content.
For example a 100gb HDD laptop might be all an office man needs but a D.J will frown at this because the size will not contain the multitude of songs he is planning to download here. likewise a laptop of 2gb RAM might be all a student who watches movies and browse social network might need but a video editor will frown at it,so our purpose will be needed here. If you over looked the first step you might end up with confusion here and pick what you don't want.

5. COST OF MAINTENANCE:

This is one very important factor we should never neglect in our choice,after looking at the content the next thing is to check is the cost of maintenance of our choice and if it is too exorbitant change to another type or brand. How can you know the cost of maintenance of your choice? check the availability of that product in the market,how much of the spare parts are in stock and how delicate the parts are. when you choose to buy a laptop nobody knows about maybe from abroad,you might travel there to repair any slight problem from it. nobody technician will tell you they cannot do it,it's what they do and they might end up wasting a good amount of your money. you might be wondering why i say get the one that has the spare parts in stock, machine wear and tear,and all the parts there have a lifespan. once they exceed their lifespan they begin to act strange. if the parts are not readily in stock you may end up loosing a laptop you have not enjoyed.

6. RELIABLE SOURCE:

Now you are good to go,but you don't buy a laptop from anywhere because you desperately need one. One of the greatest mistakes people make is trying to buy a laptop from somebody who just told you he has a laptop for sale. they might succeed in luring you to a shop and write a receipt for you without warranty and sometimes no refund policy hidden somewhere in the receipt.so when you patronize them and maybe you are not satisfied,they give you another one more inferior and when you are tired of the nonsense and want your money back they show you the not refundable in your receipt. have been a victim of this so i know what i am saying. drop the over anxiety because it will die immediately you buy the nonsense. you can patronize a slot or a recommendable laptop shop,but if you want to go on-line, better try our on-line markets they will do you well, don't pay until you receive your goods.

7. CONFIRM YOUR ORDER:

Before you leave the market or a pay for the goods, don't be too busy to confirm your order. some companies have good record but they are not perfect we have heard of many products with factory error. confirm the goods for any slight problem. i believe with a reliable source you should not bother much on it,but confirming it puts you on a safer side and reduce the stress of returning back to the shop.
With this article i am very sure you will not make any mistakes getting a perfect laptop for that perfect purpose.
You have gained knowledge from this i am very sure and it will be very good to share with your friends so they don't go about making same mistakes.

iamGraced:
Please house, my PC was updating/configuring some updates and when it was done (or when I assumed it was done I switched it off) fast forward to today I tried putting it on but it shows a blank screen and noting else but the PC is on just that nothing shows. I have tried all the popular trouble shooting methods but no improvement. Pls what can I do next?

you assumed it has been completed and u switched it off.. try an external screen first to see if it's not the screen resolution.

Nazacent:
Someone should please help me sort out this Issue, My external hard drive began showing me a RECYCLER that I couldn't delete, I think it was a sort of a virus, just this afternoon I can't access it anymore it is requesting for a format. Pls I don't want to lose my Files.

I think it's a virus,you will need a deep scan maybe probably a antivirus boot disk will do, just swap the hard disk and boot with an antivirus disk.

JohnieWalker:
My samsung mini laptop N102SP gets stuck at 29% when am charging it but it still shows plugged in, charging. I have tried several method all to no avail. I have checked the BIOS setting to see if Battery Extender is disabled. I have drained the battery and start charging from zero percent but still the same stuff. Please Engineers in the house please come to my aid....Edakun i need it for my online business...PLEASE HELP it runs on window 7

if you confirm the charger is ok, try charging with another battery,if problem persist you will need a board expert to address the D.C problem

skydancer:

Check your system32 directory for all the .msc extensions You can open up any of them from run.

Cheers and happy independence

steps to locate system32 directory pls

okikiosibodu:

I was waiting for engineers in the house to come and answer you, that why I didn't respond. Since noone did, let me try to lend you some skills/ knowledge I acquired as an undergraduate. (note- I am not an engineer...I learnt how to troubleshoot some pc problems as an undergrad, as a means of saving money from those extorting engineers).
For the problem you stated above, let me state some of the known causes, according to my knowledge
A) get a working tester, and insert it into the socket you plugged your charger. If more than one opening detects current, then your socket is the problem. Change the socket itslf, or your extension if its the extension box (the wires has been compromised)
B) turn the charger 180 degrees (I hope you understand this), somethngs polarity is the problem, especially for two-mouthed plugs.
C) try another charger on the laptop. The charger itslf could be compromised
D) if all the aforementioned tips didn't work, it could be an indication that your laptop battery has seen better days. Get another one.
Sometimes, charging with generator could be the cause. Try with nepa and let's see what happens (I have no explanation to dis)
Please update me on the progress of this exercise.

faults like that are majorly from the D.C plug I.e the part you plug your charger into in the laptop, sometimes it's as a result of virus(dust),or partial contact with the board or it's damaged.

Pls I need help with my Acer aspire E15.
After I changed the screen, the keyboard started misbehaving. First, some buttons like the enter, backspace, I, j, k, m buttons stopped working, a day later buttons like the q and e buttons started pressing repeatedly without me touching them, finally the whole keyboard stopped working.
I took it to the technician who changed the screen initially and he said the keyboard needed to be serviced which he did but the problem persists.

try driving the keyboard and if it still continues you need a technician my friend

skydancer:
Which one are you referring to?
System properties: control system Computer Management: compmgmt.msc Device management: devmgmt.msc

I need more

skydancer:
I don't know what's happened lately. I am quite sure I replied this topic before but I don't know what happened to it. Busy as usual but I wll still repost my answer when I can. Anyway for the main time you can try and check the compaq support website for your display adapter driver. You only need to know the model of your laptop.

pls can you help me with all the codes to access computer management's settings from run.

foolishness is what you are displaying masturbation is a weakness and an addiction, it is senseless and not the original pattern of sex predestined for human. God created a way sex is supposed to be practiced and if it is not that way it is perversion, I am not perfect because I was addicted to this for a long time,but don't deceive urself masturbation cannot come without lust for the opposite sex. that's a confirmation that it's sin,because you cannot or u don't have enough grace or discipline to live without you do not give u a reason to justify ur weakness, this is part of the greatest problems in christiandom when people are lazy and don't want to be discipline they frame something from their philosophical mentality. you must worship the Lord your God in spirit and in truth.

The so-called "buy naija to grow naija"!

the fact that he didn't get original doesn't mean all the locally made products are fake

Litmus:
Hmmm, happening sooner than i predicted. It appears this new group is Uroboh. I feared there'd eventually be evolution into ethnic militants, then conflict between them, leading to rapes and amputations of civilian limbs following the Liberia and Siera leon model. People of Delta, listen well, better unite quickly to safeguard the future of your communities before it is too late.

Another prediction i made was to warn that if the militancy is genuinely about underdevelopment grievances, government and militants will strike out a resolution.However, if the so-called militancy is funded by foreign interests then no matter what olive-branch the government offers, there won't be end to the bombings since it will be all about the destroying of Nigeria.

Our potential is too great to leave alone to be realized by a world that needs black people continually under white thumbs.

this is not about urhobo version of terrorist because urhobo has declared themselves out of Biafra why will they be fighting as militants, I'm urhobo I don't think there an urhobo partition of this terrorist

wow what a government, why will our government endanger the life of the whole nation either by hunger or terrorist attack at the expense of fighting corruption?

it's pathetic many are already gone as a result of this administration, but I wonder what Nigerians were thinking when they voted somebody who has value for cows more than human lives. our so called gallant government who believe they can fight everything has successful destroyed almost everything out of stupidity and pride. and after everything has been destroyed and maybe peace finally comes probably after the death of a good sum of people, u'll tell us the loots from corruption will be used to repair all the condemned facilities what have u gained fighting corruption,old man. this is a clear example of penny wise pound foolish. the infinitesimal wisdom has destroyed almost everything we had clap for urself
