Your laptop can have 16GB RAM, Core i7 and still be a very bad purchase.
Before buying a laptop, take not of these 10 things:
1.🔹Go for SSD instead of HDD.
SSD makes the laptop significantly faster when booting, opening apps and transferring files. It also doesn't make the spinning noise HDDs make.
You can check by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc → then Performance → then Disk.
2.🔹Having a high RAM isn't enough.
A laptop with 16GB RAM and a weak or old processor can still perform poorly. So it's important to check the processor.
3.🔹 Focus more on the generation of the processor rather than just “Core i5” or “Core i7.”
Never assume an i7 is automatically better than an i5. A newer-generation i5 can outperform an older-generation i7, depending on the specific processors.
When you check the model number for most Intel Core processors, the number immediately after the hyphen tells you the generation.
For example:
i7-6500U = 6th Gen
i5-8250U = 8th Gen
i7-1165G7 = 11th Gen
i5-1235U = 12th Gen
i7-13700H = 13th Gen
4.🔹Don't ignore battery health, especially when buying a used laptop.
To check on a Windows laptop, open Command Prompt and type: powercfg /batteryreport
This will generate a battery report showing the design capacity and full charge capacity. The bigger the gap, the more the battery has degraded.
5.🔹Check the screen quality, not just the size.
A 15.6-inch screen isn't automatically better than a 14-inch one. To confirm, go to Settings → System → Display → Advanced display to check the resolution and refresh rate.
6.🔹Check whether the RAM and SSD can be upgraded.
Some newer laptops have their RAM already soldered, meaning you may not be able to increase it later.
7.🔹Check the ports you need.
USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, SD card slot, headphone jack and other ports can make a difference depending on what you use the laptop for.
8.🔹For a used laptop, test everything.
Don't just open the laptop, see that it boots.
Test the keyboard, trackpad, speakers, microphone, webcam, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, charging port, USB ports, HDMI, hinges and screen.
Open a document and test every key. Play audio through the speakers. Connect to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Plug in a USB device and test the charger.
9.🔹Buy according to your needs.
For browsing, Microsoft Office, online classes and basic work, you don't necessarily need a high-end laptop.
For programming, heavy multitasking or professional software, you need a strong processor and sufficient RAM.
For video editing, 3D work and serious graphics work, you have to pay attention to the GPU, processor, RAM and display.
For gaming, don't focus on RAM alone. The dedicated GPU, processor, cooling system and display matter a lot.
Stay informed

Stay sharp! 🪒

It's just so hard to hate him....You just can't help but to love him.🥺❤️
Someone once said, if you spend all day at a fish market, you'll leave smelling like fish even if you didn't touch one. But if you spend your day in a perfume shop, you'll leave smelling good even if you didn't buy anything. Your environment always rubs off on you. Spend time around people who complain. You'll see negativity everywhere, spend time around people who make excuses. You'll never change, but spend it with people of action, you'll feel inspired to move. Spend it with people of gratitude. You'll see blessings everywhere. The scent of your environment will always follow you.
If you understand Olamide’s links to the Lagos State Government and the entire Tinubu structure, you will understand why Sanwo-Olu went to San Francisco to visit EMPIRE.

When you stop reading books, you start losing verbal dexterity, depth of thought and imagination. A closed book is a closed mind. Don't EVER stop reading.
You told your husband you were coming to my place to see baby after church.
Husband did half day at work, instead of full day, by 3:30 he decided to come down straight to my house thinking he’ll meet you here.
He’s here, but you’re not…he called to ask where u are, and you said clearly, you’re in my house, you even said my baby is really cute, that you’ll call him back…💔💔💔💔💔
I hate that all of these happened in front of me I don’t even know how to react…when she told the blatant lie, man looked at me in disbelief, you could see the shattered look on his face.
He’s gone home now, but before leaving, he transferred 450pounds to my wife for “baby” I don’t even know if he meant to give that amount or he gave out the money in shock.
I’m broken on his behalf for real 💔💔💔
This has to be the largest ovarian cyst I’ve ever seen in my practice so far. This woman had been living with this monster for years. To God be the glory, she’s now free from it.
There is something inherently wrong with Nigeria. To think that the Tinubu @officialABAT mummified showcasing and stunts in Paris just went like that, coupled with his inability to go to the UN General Assembly which I heard is because of his mortal fear that the US govt could order his arrest for his past drug-dealing case, is just surprising.
Every sycophant is playing along, and society has acquiesced completely.
Tinubu is not on vacation; he is receiving treatment in France, and they will package him to return as though nothing happened. We have seen this script before with Yar’Adua and Buhari: secrecy, deception, carefully managed appearances and a country expected to look away.
Nigeria must be liberty only from these machinations but the mentality that sustains it. #RevolutionNow
That's how they took a gay actor, and made him act as a gangster rapper, in order to influence the black community into become more violent.
And it worked 😓
"Last time I met Olu, he looked at me with tears in his eyes, he said Pete, our mates are gone. Immediately he said it tears came to my eyes, when Olu was saying this, Sam Loco had gone, Esiri had gone, Pete Eneh, Enebeli, when he was saying this thing it was coming from his heart...."
– Pete Edochie on his relationship with Olu Jacobs
Private jets fly empty every day. Hundreds of them.
The passenger lands. The plane needs to get home. Those seats are going to waste at full fuel burn regardless of whether anyone is sitting in them.
We call them "dead legs". One of the most consistent inefficiencies in private aviation.
The operator would love to sell those seats at a discount. The buyer would love to fly private at a fraction of the normal cost. Both sides are motivated.
And yet the market still runs through individual brokers making phone calls.
Someone needs to build the marketplace that connects operators and buyers in real time.
The technology definitely exists. The demand is obviously there.
What doesn't exist is the platform.
