Choosing a Laptop in a Tablet World

A Thursday morning WSJ article caught my eye titled "Choosing a Laptop in a Tablet World." It goes into the growing popularity of tablet devices but yet there is still a disparity between product capabilities. Laptops probably won't disappear just yet: they have a physical keyboard, lots of ports, plenty of storage and more horsepower than tablets offer. The article goes into look at timing, memory, graphics, processors, hard disks and ports.

Bottom line is, if you are not in pressing need of a laptop then wait because the industry is evolving at incredible speeds. If you can't wait, the author recommends 4 gigabytes of memory, no specific processor any of the newest Intel ones will suffice, anting up for the more expensive graphics is a must, 320 gigabyte hard disk is enough, and HDMI capabilities to plug into the computers ports is great for connecting the laptop to the television.
