First of all , you need to decide for what purpose you are buying a laptop: for watching video content, surfing the Internet and storing a small number of files, or a super-powerful gaming gadget, or a laptop for work. In each case, you need to pay attention to many parameters, the main ones being processor performance, amount of RAM, screen diagonal and image quality.
The importance of each parameter is determined by the purpose of using the laptop. For example, a laptop for study and simple office tasks should first of all be autonomous and ergonomic. In this case, a device that will provide comfortable surfing on the Internet, work with text editors and spreadsheets, and will also allow you to make presentations and abstracts is suitable.
Devices for gamers should feature high processor performance, high-quality video and powerful cooling systems. For serious work with graphics, 3D modeling and video editing, the screen resolution, video core and processor power are important.

What laptop parameters are most important?
• Screen (diagonal, resolution);
• Processor;
• Installed video card (if you intend to use games).
These parameters are the most important when operating a future laptop due to the fact that they cannot be changed. In some cases, it is possible to upgrade these components, but this is associated with a large number of difficulties and limitations.
Does it make sense to buy a laptop with a pre-installed OS?
How to reset a laptop to factory settings?
1. If you bought a laptop with a pre-installed OS, then, as a rule, the laptop should include system recovery disks, or the laptop manufacturer allows you to download an image (an electronic version of the recovery disk) from the official website;
2. If you installed the OS yourself, then you need to configure the creation of a backup copy yourself in the “Backup and Restore” section – there you can configure the frequency of creating recovery points (for example, once a day, once a week or once a month). There is also the opportunity to choose where to store the system image in electronic form or burn it to disk.
When planning where and how to store the system image, keep in mind that it can take up a lot of space! Your personal files and folders (for example, your photos, videos, documents, etc.) will most likely be saved, but it is better to save them to an external drive;
3. You need to remove the old OS and install it again along with drivers and necessary programs. All necessary folders and files must be saved to external media, since they are also automatically destroyed when the old OS is removed.
