Looking for a new laptop? Confused by the innumerable brands, speculations and technologies which are publicized? Here’s the information you need to be acquainted with to make an informed decision on buying the right laptop for your needs.

Below listed are some basics about laptops that you need to understand before you buy one.

1. Processor: This is the brain of the computer. All the data is processed here be it any manipulation, calculation or any other formatting. The choice of processor will depend on how you intend to use the laptop. The specifications are directly proportional to pace of executing the different tasks. Higher the specifications, faster will be the speed at which tasks will be executed. Same way, the powerful processor will help perform more tasks better. Core duo the latest technology is faster and more energy-efficient.
2. Software: Softwares act as the instruction manuals of the computer. They decide the actions of the machine. Some of these softwares come along with laptop. However for better and more comfortable usage of the same extra softwares have to be purchased and installed. To serve your basic needs on the computer you need to have at least the basic word processing and email enabling software.
3. Operating System: The most important software that enables other softwares and applications to run on your PC is called the operating system. Without this software no applications shall work. Most of the PCS across the globe run a version of Microsoft Windows. They may be either Windows Vista (the latest version of Windows) or an earlier version, such as Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows 98. Apple computers run on an operating system called OSX.
4. ROM: A chip on the motherboard which stores a permanent set of start-up instructions for your computer is called ROM (read only memory). This chip is fixed when the system is manufactured and all the instructions in it do not erase even if the power is off.
5. RAM: This is the memory that the computer uses to run its operating system, applications and active data files. Higher RAM enables the computer to run complex programs and more of them at a time. RAM is highly responsible for the overall performance of the system. This memory makes your applications run faster and makes it possible to work with huge files. RAM starts at about 512MB; you can find some that can be upgraded all the way to 4.0GB.
6. Cache: This memory is similar to RAM but runs at a very high speed. The CPU makes use of it as a storage place for processing instructions. Information in the cache memory is not retained once the power is off.
7. Hard drive: Computer can take data from the hard drive to process information and also record the data back into the disk after the work is done. The sizes of the hard drive varies from 60GB, that is sufficient for basic computing needs, up to 120GB, ideal for multimedia, home entertainment and games.

Laptops based on your needs:

Below listed are the different user profiles and the kind of laptop that would suit each of them:

1. Home user:

   Most of the home users now prefer notebooks over desktop PCs. This is because these devices perform equally well and possess equally good features. Besides they can be easily carried to different locations.

   Undoubtedly all laptops would be suitable for home use; however there are two types of laptops that would best serve the purpose, the midsize notebooks, which are budget-friendly, and the desktop replacements, which are packed with features.

   Key features desirable in laptops for home use:

   A memory size of minimum 1GB is recommended for these laptops. A hard drive large enough to store digital photos and videos will be needed. The display should be 14.1 inch or larger. A fixed or swappable DVD burner will also be a necessity. Both wired and wireless networking will be needed. Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium or Apple Mac OS X is the operating systems recommended.

2. Student

   This is the kind of users who have strict budget constraints. Though this is a major factor, they expect a laptop that gives best performance for the money they pay. A laptop that should suit their need will be one that is light enough to be carried around, stylish enough to flaunt but tough enough to bear the wear and tear of each day.

   Key features desirable in laptops for student use:

   A memory size of at least 1GB is needed. A hard drive big enough to hold all those MP3s is needed. A DVD burner is needed as a backup for all those class projects, etc. Wired and wireless network will be needed as you can be in the network equipped classrooms or you may have to make use of the wireless in the other outside locations. Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium or Apple Mac OS X is recommended.

3. Frequent flier

   For those who spend a lot of time traveling, the size and the weight are key factors that have to be taken into consideration while selecting a laptop. These factors are so important that compromising slightly on the features and the performance wouldn’t be a loss. Ultraportables are the smallest and the lightest notebooks. They weigh less than four pounds and as thick as a spiral bound notebook.

   Key features desirable in laptops for frequent fliers:

   A memory size of at least 1GB is recommended for these laptops. The display should be of maximum 13.3inch. Both wired and wireless networking will be needed here too. Extended battery is a must for those traveling far. An external CD-RW/DVD drive is recommended. A port replicator will be needed for the desk. Microsoft Windows Vista Business is recommended for this type of laptops

4. Business power user

   For those business people who make use of the same laptop in office, home and the road, a well balanced system is a must. The laptop has to be capable of delivering a performance that can gel with the wide range of applications that the business would make use of. A thin and light model would be the best option.

   Key features desirable in laptops for business users:

   A memory size of at the least 1GB is recommended. For those using Windows Vista, memory should be 2GB. A midsize hard drive will be enough. The display should be 14-inch or 15.4-inch. A dual-layer DVD burner will be more suitable. Both wired and wireless networking will give the desired comfort in using the laptop. An extra battery is undoubtedly a must for these users. Microsoft Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate are the preferred options.

5. Multimedia author or gamer

   If you have to make use of the laptop to design a Web site or edit home movies, the device will need a powerful processor, large memory, great graphics, and a healthy hard drive.

   Key features desirable in laptops for multimedia users:

   A memory size of 2GB and a display size of at least 15.4 inch or more is a must in these laptops. To serve the need an advanced graphics card with 256MB or 512MB of its own memory or dual SLI graphics is needed. The hard drive has to be the largest and the fastest, in order to enable the laptop to perform according to your needs. Dual-layer DVD burner, possibly HD-DVD or Blu-Ray compatible is recommended. Multimedia connectors, such as S-Video, HDMI, FireWire, S/PDIF, external keyboard and mouse can make the use more comfortable. Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium or Ultimate, or Apple Mac OS X is recommended.

Laptops based on its size:

The varied sizes available in laptops have their respective pros and cons. While you take benefit of one feature, you have to compromise on some other. With the decreasing size though the laptop becomes comfortable to carry, some features have to be compromised. Conversely the full featured laptops become difficult to carry. Below given details will help you learn more about what each type of laptop has to offer.

1. The Ultraportable

   Ultraportables are the smallest, most lightweight laptops. This compactness that the ultraportables offer is the most beneficial factor for the frequent business travelers and all others who need to have their PC with them all the time. Though these types of laptops offer excellent portability, users have to compromise on its features, its performance, size of the keyboard, display, etc.
   
   Weight: Up to 4 pounds.
   Thickness: Less than 1 inch?
   Display: Smaller than 14 inches (diagonal)
   Processor: Slower, low-voltage mobile processors; some dual-core CPUs
   Features: Fewer ports and connections; 60GB to 120GB hard drive
   Networking: LAN, modem, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (optional), WWAN (optional)
   Other things to note: Small keyboard and touch pad; may lack an internal optical drive

2. Thin-and-light

   This type of laptop offers a balanced combination of portability, performance, features, and cost. Its power-tuned mobile processors give enough power to keep the work go on smoothly. The thin-and-lights offer a more reasonably sized keyboard and display, a larger hard drive, and a built-in optical drive. Though these models are more expensive than slightly larger, heavier midsize laptops, they are the best choice if you need maximum productivity in a portable package.
   
   Weight: 4 to 6 pounds
   Thickness: Approximately 1 inch
   Display: 12 to 14 inches (diagonal), probably wide screen)
   Processor: Midrange-to-fast dual-core processors
   Features: Most ports and connections; 80GB to 120GB hard drive; optical drive
   Networking: LAN, modem, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (optional), WWAN (optional)
   Other things to note: Small keyboard and touch pad

3. Midsize (mainstream)

   Most inexpensive laptops are the midsize ones. Typically a midsize laptop delivers everything you need for basic computing like word processing, storing digital photos. Everything for home entertainment like burning CDs, watching DVDs, and everything for online communication like e-mail and Web surfing are offered in midsize laptops. These models are slightly smaller than desktop replacements and have a limited battery life therefore midsize laptops aren’t suitable for regular travel.
   
   Weight: 6 to 8 pounds
   Thickness: More than 1 inch
   Display: 14 to 15.4 inches (diagonal), possibly wide screen
   Processor: Slow/budget AMD Sempron or Intel Celeron, midrange AMD Turion 64 or Intel Core Duo, or fast Turion 64 X2 or Core 2 Duo processors
   Features: Most ports and connections; 60GB to 100GB hard drive; DVD burner; memory card reader; decent software package
   Networking: LAN, modem, Wi-Fi
   Other things to note: May be less attractively designed; may suffer from mediocre performance and battery life

4. Desktop replacement

   The largest and the heaviest of the laptops are the desktop replacements. They are capable of delivering the features and performance like that of a desktop PC. As the features suggest these models are not easy to carry around. This model offers the best performance, the largest screens and keyboards. Overall this model offers the most complete set of features available in any laptop. This model is most common among home and business users. These systems have enough computing muscle for serious gaming, multimedia authoring, and even high-level digital audio and video work.
   
   Weight: 7.5 pounds or more
   Thickness: More than 1 inch
   Display: 17 to 20 inches (diagonal)
   Processor: Fast dual-core processors

   Networking: LAN, modem, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (optional)
   Other things to note: Large keyboard, separate number pad, large touch pad; batteries not designed for lengthy mobile use.

5. Tablet PC

   The tablet PCs were once used as a tool for the specialized industries. With its portability, flexibility, and wow factor, this range of laptops is gaining wider audience. In terms of size and weight this model is very much similar to the ultraportable and thin and light. On this tablet PC you can take handwritten notes and navigate menus, documents, and Web pages using a stylus directly on the screen. The most common type of this range is the convertible tablet. The convertible tablet is like a traditional laptop but has a display that swivels 180 degrees and folds flat over the keyboard. Slate tablets another of this range, lack keyboards–they’re all screen. The smallest of the tablet range are the, ultramobile PCs. With the 7-inch touch-screen displays and enhanced media player features the ultramobile PCs bridge the gap between PDA and ultraportable.
   
   Weight: Usually 4 pounds or less, with some slates weighing as little as 2 pounds; UMPCs weigh less than 2 pounds; some larger laptops incorporate tablet functionality
   Thickness: Less than 1 inch
   Display: 12 inches (diagonal) or smaller digitized display
   Processor: Moderate mobile processors
   Features: Fewer ports and connections; 30GB to 60GB hard drive
   Networking: LAN, modem, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (optional), WWAN (optional)
   Other things to note:Microsoft Windows Vista OS; handwriting recognition software

Nokia is going to soon announce the launch of the next Nseries mobile phone with a 8 Megapixel camera and xenon flash which you can preview in the following image. The design is similar to the Nokia N93 mobile phone which comes with a slider and the camera can be rotated in any direction.

The Nokia N93 had only a 3.2Megapixel camera but this one may have a 6 to 8 Megapixel camera and make it the best digital camera mobile phone with the highest sized image resolutions and quality. Though Nokia has not released any official news about this upcoming mobile phone but this a kind of rumour which is spread everywhere because Nokia needs to overcome their own 5Megapixel N95 and Sony Ericsson K850i mobile phones.

There was a time when Himesh Reshammiya dominated music channels 24X7. From mid-2005 till mid-2007 it was clearly an out an out Himesh Reshammiya wave with his albums sweeping the entire nation off its feet. Aashiq Banaya Aapne started it all and there was no looking back as Himesh & Bhushan Kumar combo went on to deliver more than 30 back-to-back chartbuster tracks. Aap Kaa Surroor, Aksar, Tom Dick & Harry, Ahista Ahista - the list was endless as the composer turned into a singer and also donned the hat of an actor.

This was when he reached the pinnacle of success with his debut film as a leading hero, Aap Kaa Surroor - The Moviee, being lapped up by the masses. Now, after more than a year, he returns with Karzzzz, a much awaited project which is backed by Bhushan Kumar of T-Series and promises to be yet another grand musical extravaganza as Himesh plays the triple role of a hero, composer, and singer.
First things first - after listening to the album one can safely say that Himesh Reshammiya has a chartbuster score in hand. Far ahead of the music that he composed for the film Aap Kaa Surroor - The Moviee and at par with his non-film album Aap Kaa Surroor which created a worldwide frenzy two years back with each of it’s songs turning out to be chartbuster, Karzzzz is all set to end the drought that the music stands are currently facing due to lack of any credible album arriving.

Karzzzz has quite a bountiful to offer for those who want their music albums to be fully loaded. No wonder, apart from 8 original tracks and one rearranged version of the title song, there are as many as 10 remix tracks, hence making Karzzzz a bouquet of as many as 19 tracks. Also, when it is an album by Himesh Reshammiya, it is bound to have his stamp from start to finish. This is pretty much apparent as his name is present in credit details for each and every song.

First to come is ‘Lut Jaaon Lut Jaaon’ which could well be termed as a title song due to the word ‘Karz’ being heard at regular intervals. A number which comes across as a brilliant lounge track courtesy the supporting vocals of Harshdeep who creates a haunting effect in the background, ‘Lut Jaaon Lut Jaaon’ is a highly catchy number that one can’t stop humming after just one listening. The song which carries a deeper meaning due to the essence of revenge being imbibed in the lyrics, it is bound to be the highlight of the film. The ‘remix version’ that follows is such that it would be surprising if a music video isn’t created around it. The arrangements are different from what one witnesses in routine remix versions and this one takes you instantly into a club from an original lounge setting.

Seemingly based on the same setting as ‘Om Shanti Om’ from the original Karz, ‘Hari Om Hari Om’ is the next song to arrive. For those who loved their dose of ‘Zara Jhoom Jhoom’ [Tom Dick and Harry], ‘Jhalak Dikhlaja’ [Aksar], ‘Junoon Junoon’ [Rocky] and ‘No Way No Way’ [Anthony Kaun Hai], ‘Hari Om Hari Om’ is yet another dish on the plate. A dance number which has been rendered with a punch with Himesh Reshammiya, it has enough current day ingredients embellished in those 5 minutes.

In fact this is the only number which find two remix versions for itself - an ‘Indian Mix’ and an ‘Electro Mix’. While the former may find its way into festival pandals due to religious sentiments that the arrangements manage to bring with them, the latter indeed carries an electrifying mood to it which is bound to work on the dance floors with blazing lights and the works helping its cause.

Now comes the kind of sound which Pritam has almost patented in his music, courtesy songs from films like Race, Jannatand Kismat Konnection. Words like ‘Tandoori Nights’ may not really make one enthused about what would follow next but Himesh actually does the impossible by creating an entire composition around these words which makes ‘Tandoori Nights’ the most catchy of all so far. Add to it Sunidhi Chauhan’s voice which suits Urmila Matondkar to the ‘T’ and you know that this one is going to reach the top of the charts. A dance number, ‘Tandoori Nights’ has an interesting ‘remix version’ as well which succeeds in it’s purpose of making you search for those dancing shoes all over again.

Just when one thought that Karzzzz is primarily made of dance numbers (not that one minds that) comes a pleasant surprise in the form of ‘Soniye Je Tere’ where Himesh Reshammiya goes back to his Indian classical route. However, he keeps the sensibilities of the urban youth also in mind and amalgamates the modern-day sound with a line or two in English as well, hence making ‘Soniye Je Tere’ yet another chartbuster track in the offering. As a singer too, Himesh excels particularly in this number which requires him to go into high pitch. He doesn’t disappoint at all, nor does Tulsi Kumar who has a few lines to add as well, in this love song that comes in an even better ‘remix version’.

The best song of the album comes soon after in the form of ‘Dhoom Tere Ishq Ki’ which reminds one of the terrific compositions that Himesh had created for Ahista Ahista two years back. Pure Indian in its feel and arrangements with no interference whatsoever from any Western instrument, ‘Dhoom Tere Ishq Ki’ is a love song that one can play on in a repeat mode. Sameer’s lyrics deserve a special mention here as the lyricist keeps the writing simple and yet so engaging. A smooth flowing number which lasts close to 6 minutes, one wonders if there was really a need for its ‘remix version’. However, after hearing this version, one doesn’t quite find it bad though the original still remains to be the first choice.

For Himesh’s fans and followers, there is a vintage track in the offering with the arrival of ‘Sisak Sisak Ke’. A foot tapping song about being prepared for some tough moments to follow when in love, ‘Sisak Sisak Ke’ is yet another solo track by Himesh Reshammiya that has English rap-n-reggae interspersed in the proceedings. Though this one too goes well with the mood of the album, it isn’t quite a number which one may classify as being exclusive to Karzzzz (as most of the numbers before this have been) and could have fit into any other Himesh Reshammiya composed album. Ditto for the ‘remix version’.

However, ‘Tere Bin Chain Na Aave’ which follows is in the league similar to that of ‘Dhoom Tere Ishq Ki’ as it maintain it’s Indian quotient and comes across as yet another unadulterated number. With a ‘ghazal’ feel to it, this one has Tulsi Kumar getting yet another number to her credit. Belonging entirely to Himesh Reshammiya, ‘Tere Bin’ quenches the thirst of those looking for some pure Indian melodies. Yet another track that one may have wanted to be rather untouched, ‘Tere Bin’ too finds a ‘remix version’ attached to it. However, thankfully it is interestingly done due to which one don’t mind its presence eventually.

After those three dance numbers at the beginning, Himesh takes a romantic route for the rest of album, something that is visible yet again with the arrival of ‘Masha Allah’. However, unlike the namesake track which one heard in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya last year, this one is more vociferous in appeal with Himesh changing pitch from low to high at regular intervals quite amazingly. Seemingly set in the setting of ‘Dard E Dil’, mainly due to the words ‘Kuch Lamhon Ke Baad Juda Honge Hum’ (remember ‘Aur Thodi Der Mein Bas, Hum Juda Ho Jaayenge’?) being heard in the early part of the song, ‘Masha Allah’ continues to add on to the ever increasing list of chartbuster numbers in Karzzzz. This is one number that one doesn’t quite mind hearing in its ‘remix version’ as it only re-emphasizes the passionate mood of the album.

It is nothing less than a test of sorts for Himesh Reshammiya to get into the big shoes of Kishore Kumar for singing one of the most popular tracks ever that has been churned out in Bollywood. Recreating ‘Ek Haseena Thi’, Himesh is careful while both singing as well as composing as he keeps it all under control without going over the top. While the lyrics are kept as it is, the number is slightly re-arranged without compromising on the intensity of the original. Shreya Ghosal is his singing partner in this duet which is bound to result in goose-bumps all over again when heard in theaters. The ‘remix version’ is further zanier as it enhances on the tempo and goes all out in making sure that it creates a euphoric feel when it blazes on in state of art music systems. Now all director Satish Kauhsik has to do is enhance on the dramatic quotient of the original and give audience a grand finale which lingers in the memory for time to come.

Karzzzz is bound to arrive like a hurricane and make sure that it creates ripples at the top of the charts. Bringing together a mix of massy and classy tracks, hence targeting an audience which comprises of hardcore Himesh Reshammiya fans and even those who loved the kind of music he had to offer for his much ignored soundtrack in ‘Ahista Ahista’ (it is undoubtedly one of his best scores ever), Karzzzz is set to be much talked about album this season. Aided by some superb promotion and marketing by its makers and the music company (the promos are blazing all over 24X7) and Karzzzz can be rest assured about the fact that it reaches out to one and all.
