Laptops & Notebooks Ireland
Choosing a laptop is a little like choosing a car! Yes, there are functional requirements that are critical to your choice, but your final decision will reflect your personality in terms of the design. Based on this, we have assembled a selection of laptops from the worlds leading manufacturers for your consideration.
The key metric for laptops are portability, performance, screen size and security. As a rough guide, laptop weight will fall into the following bands:
- 13.3″ Screen – 1.6kg to 1.8kg
- 14.1″ Screen – 1.9kg to 2.3kg
- 15″ Screen – 2.5kg to 3.2kg
- 16″ Screen – Circa 4kg
Put this together with a bag, power pack and other items and the overall weight can become quite significant. So remember, before you plump for a large screen, be sure that you are happy with the overall weight!
