smileyprocessor of the board which determines how powerful your system would be compared to todays requirements in computing. Celeron, pentium, core series then core i series.

;Dnext is the RAM, the more the ram the better and faster a PC can process data given to it.

winkscreen next someone like me uses a 17inch laptop, its heavy carrying around but the screen gives me joy when gaming or watching videos.

tongue maker depends, HP, DELL, Lenovo have parts readily available than other manufacturers in local Nigeria market.

embarassed graphics card dedicated or internal, dedicated is better but any PC with it is always expensive except the graphics is outdated. A recent 2gig graphics card is powerful than an outdated 4gigs card. though integrated graphics has improved alot in recent times, reason to buy laptops not older than 5years so one can still enjoy medium gaming.

lipsrsealed Battery life

other things are a plus like webcam, wifi and hotspot, bluetooth, card reader, finger print etc.

Hdd is hard disk drive, its a form of memory used for storing digital data by PCs, SSD is solid state drive another form of memory used for storing digital data. SSD is a recent technology so far better than HDD but SSD is very expensive but well worth it if you can afford it.

AMD is the closest rival to intel in terms of PC board but intel moves and sells more than AMD also many seasoned computer techy would advice you buy intel instead of AMD because of past experience with AMD boards in regards to personal computers. AMD branded computers are also always cheaper than their intel counter part and their graphics capability is exceptional.

Nah HEAT dey make us boycott AMD devices then, they can just switch off and never come on back, but now i dont know much about them, i don leave tech go marry agric a long time ago.

I don't know, not into sales but what you should concentrate on

1. Mother board intel core i3,5,7etc

2. The dedicated graphics card with minimum 2gig DDR3 upwards. Then google the ability of the graphics card in question that the laptop falls into your financial range
