Buy Pink Laptop - Where To Start?

We have been blogging a lot about pink laptops here. If you are reading this blog, you are probably on the lookout for a pretty pink laptop for yourself, or someone you love. To buy a pink laptop, you will first need to get some ideas on what are the pink laptops available out there, and what's the good and bad for each one of them. And reading through this blog is definitely one of the best way to get you started. You will find news and reviews not only about pink laptop computers here, but also pink laptop accessories such as pink laptop skin, trendy pink laptop bags, peripherals, etc. If you are seeking recommendation, check out the list of top pink laptops and pink netbooks that we put together for our readers.

After you have read enough news and reviews about pink laptops, and have an idea of which pink laptop you want, it's time for you to actually buying it. You can go to your nearest retailer store to shop for the pink laptop you like, but a better way would be to purchase it online. Why? Because purchasing it online save you time and money. People will always try their best to look for the best deals when it comes to shopping. And there's no difference for online shopping. You are most likely going to browse as much as you can through the Internet for the best prices, and you will be amazed by some of the low prices that you can find. If you are to do this offline, it will cost you lots of time to go scouring through every electronic shop on the high street to find your perfect pink laptop, and the chances of finding a great deal is much lower compare to online shopping.


Out of the many online stores available on the Internet today, Amazon.com is our favorite. First of all, you can find a wide range of pink laptop there. Searching for the keyword "pink laptop" in their search box, under the "Electronics" department will return you thousand over results. This means that you can browse a wide selection of pink laptops until you find the one you like, or the perfect gift with which to surprise your loved one. And what we like the most, is the list of long Customer reviews found under each product page. They are made by the real customers who have actually bought and used the product, and so are really trustworthy. For certain popular products such as this pink Samsung NC10 netbook, which has lots of customer reviews, you can already tell that it's a great product by just reading through the customer reviews. Similarly, a bad product will get bad customer reviews which will then will alert us to stay away from it. A smart way of shopping at Amazon.com would be to sort the product by customer reviews, so that you get a list of pink laptops from the best customer rating to the worst.


Secondly, the price of pink laptops that you find on Amazon.zom is always reasonable. To look for a cheap pink laptop, you can do a sort by product price, and you will be amazed by the low price that they are offering for some of their products. Just to give you an example, you can get the super stylish Vivienne Tam netbook from HP for $509.99 on Amazon.com, while the starting price of the Vivienne Tam edition netbook is $699.99 on HP's official website. Of course, it's important to always read through the customer review (if there's any) before purchasing an item.

And finally, after you have get yourself a shiny pink laptop, you will want to get some accessories, such as a pink laptop case or some colorful and trendy gadgets to complement it, right? Again, you can find lots of those on Amazon.com with low price and and informative customer reviews.

Amazon is definitely not the only online store where you can buy pink laptops from. It's just our personal favorite. There are hundreds of other online stores selling laptops which you can go for. You just have to spend some time looking for them through search engine. So the other method that we recommend is to go directly to the official websites of the laptop brands which offer pink color option. Some of these laptop manufacturers include Dell, Toshiba, and Sony. If the laptop brand that you are looking for is any one of them, it's much easier to go to their official website and purchase directly from there instead of finding them on other online stores.

And that's it. We have covered most of the fundamental tips that you need to know for buying a pink laptop. Our final piece of advice would be for you to think about how you will use your pink laptop. Usage should drive your purchase decision. For example, if you are to carry it around frequently, get a small pink laptop for maximum portability, and if price is your main concern and you are not going to use it for any heavy processing, consider getting a pink netbook since it's cheaper. Good luck hunting for the pink laptop of your dream!!

Pink Laptop Buying Guide - Accessories

This is the part four of the pink laptop buying guide, and also the final part of the guide. If you haven't read about the previous guide yet, here are the links for the previous guides that will give you some basic knowledge that you should know before buying a laptop.

Pink Laptop Buying Guide - Overview
Pink Laptop Buying Guide - Portability
Pink Laptop Buying Guide - Spec

In this article we will talk about the accessories that you should get for you laptop. Assuming that you are already having a new fancy pink laptop in front of you, the next thing that you can do is to get some accessories for your laptop to increase its usability. Here are some suggestion for you to accessorize your laptop.

Docking Station
A docking station is an accessory that make it easy for you to connect your laptop to the network and any other PC peripherals. With a docking station at home or office, you can actually have the network cable, LCD monitor, keyboard, mouse and any other computer peripherals connected to it, and by attaching your pink laptop to the docking station, you will be able to use them as if they are connected directly to your laptop. It give you the convenience of keeping all the peripherals cables to stay connected to the docking station, while you walk away with your laptop. When you return, all you need to do is just attach you laptop back to the docking station, and you will again gain access to all the peripherals.

Laptop Bag
After spending about a thousand dollar for a cool pink laptop, getting a better laptop bag (in pink) is necessary. Many of the laptop bags that come with the original laptop manufacturer do not have enough internal pockets and padded shoulder strap. Furthermore, they do not looks cool, and most probably they are not pink in color. After spending all the amount of money to get a cool fancy pink laptop, you don't want to get a laptop bag that looks ugly and uncomfortable to carry. So look for a laptop bag that have a cool design with padded shoulder straps and enough compartments to keep your power adapters and other laptop accessories.

Laptop battery
An extra laptop battery is necessary if you know you are going to travel a lot with you laptop. A normal laptop battery will normally last for two to three hours. If you constantly need to work on your laptop during traveling, while you are away from the power supply, you wouldn't regret getting an extra laptop battery as backup. It will
cost you around 50 to 300 dollar, but it's well worth the money.

External Drive
An external drive can be an external hard drives, DVD/CD-RW, DVD-rewritable, or even a thumb \drive. It is strongly recommended that you get at least one of these as they will be in great help when you need to make a copy of backup data for yourself or to another party, such as your customer. It will cost you as low as $15 for a 1GB thumbdrive.

Keyboard and Mouse
An external keyboard and mouse is especially necessary for those with an ultraportable laptop. With the small keyboard and touch pad of the laptop, it will be much more comfortable when you have an ordinary size of mouse and keyboard that you use normally on your PC. Use them together with your docking station, so that you will only need to deal with the small keyboard and touchpad only when you are on a travel.

Besides the accessories that I mentioned in this article, there a certainly more accessories out there such as laptop cooler, speaker, etc. It will very much depends on personal needs. These are just a few laptop accessories that we think might be of interest to most of the laptop users out there. with this, it concludes the pink laptop buying guide, and feel free to drop any question in the comment section if you have any question.

Pink Laptop Buying Guide - Spec

aThis is the part three of pink laptop buying guide. Check out the pink laptop buying guide - overview, for the overview of important aspects that you should be paying attention to when buying a laptop; or the pink laptop buying guide - portability, for the more in depth discussion about the laptop portability.

While this guide is written specially for those who wish to buy a pink color laptop, it's more on the few very basic aspects of the laptop as it's predicted that most pink laptop buyer are made up of girls who have no or very limited knowledge about laptop computer hardware stuff. If you are a tech savvy guy or girl who already have the basic knowledge for laptop computer hardware, this article might not be of your interest.

When buying a new laptop computer, you will find that there are many many technical terms of the hardware component which makes you totally lost. That's normal for an average user. This guide will give you some simple description about a few important components of your laptop computer. The first most important part of a laptop computer is the processor. It's the 'brain' of your pink laptop computer which gives it the ability to think, make all the complicated computation. As of today, these are the most common processors that are available on the market:

- Intel Core 2 Extreme
- Intel Core 2 Duo
- Intel Core Duo
- AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual Core
- AMD Turion 64 / Intel Core Solo / Intel Pentium M
- Mobile AMD Sempron / Intel Celeron M

Note that the list above start from the most high-end processor to the lowest end at the bottom. For avarage laptop user, the Intel Core Duo or AMD Turion 64X2 Dual Core is good enough for normal gaming, Internet surfing, and word processing task.

Then the next most important aspect of a laptop computer is the main memory or RAM (Random Access Memory). When you use your pink laptop to load up the operating system, and open up several application programs, all of them (the OS and the current running applications) will reside on the main memory. So imagine the RAM as a table, and the hard drive memory as the drawer. How many applications that your pink laptop is able to run simultaneously without degrading the performance will depends on whether the table is large enough to place all the applications on it. When the table is full, and you still want to place more stuff on it (running more applications simultaneously), some of them will need to be put into the drawer, and to be taken in and out from the drawer as the application runs. And this will cause performance degration. So more RAM, better performance. How much RAM should you get for your pink laptop will depend on what OS you are running. To run Windows XP or any earlier version of Windows, 512 MB is the minimum that you should get, while for for Windows Vista or Mac OS X, 1GB of RAM is the minimum requirement (2GB is recommended for optimal performance).

And finally the graphic card. If you are just using your laptop just for normal word processing, internet surfing and playing lower end 2D game, an onboard graphic card will be good enough. But if you want to use it for graphically demanding job, such as playing high-end 3D games,a faster graphic card that has its own memory is required. such graphic card will have it's own memory (32MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512MB) so it will not need to share the RAM of the CPU, and thus giving much better performance when it comes to games/applications that are graphically demanding. If you think you need a higher end of such graphic card, read the guide from notebookheck.

So, in terms of the laptop computer's spec, these are the at least three important components that should be paid attention to. While this guide is titled 'Pink Laptop Buying Guide', it actually applies to any other laptops, whether it's pink or not. It's just that those who are looking to buy a pink laptop will usually have less knowledge about the computer hardware stuff which this guide will give them some basic understanding of what they are getting besides the fancy pink laptop.

Pink Laptop Buying Guide - Portability

This is the 2nd part of the pink laptop buying guide which will be focusing on portability of a laptop.

Portability of a laptop depends on its size and weight. Majority of the pink laptop lovers are girls who love stylish /girly stuff. So when it comes to weight and size, most of them will prefer to get the thin and light / ultraportable type of laptop, as it looks the coolest and is easiest to carry. While smaller and thinner laptops do give the advantage of portability and cool outlook, they are comparatively more expensive than the midsize laptop, and might also having less features due to the size limitation. Generally, there are 5 categories of laptop in terms of portability: Ultraportable, Thin and Light, Midsize, and Desktop Replacement.


Ultraportable
This is the lightest and smallest among all categories. It's most suitable for people who need to travel with their laptop frequently. An ultraportable laptop will have the following characteristics:
- Thickness of less than 1 inch
- Weight equal or less than 4 pound
- Diagonal screen size of 14 inches or less
- Normally with slower and and lower voltage mobile processor
- Comparatively fewer numbers of connection ports
- Small touchpad and keyboard
- Starting price of $1,100
Available pink laptops in this category include: Sony VAIO Tz Series, LG E200/300, Clevo 12" series, Fujitsu LifeBook and Samsung Q40, Asus Eee PC.


Thin and Light
This is the intermediate between ultraportable and midsize laptop. It has more features, better performance but larger size compare with the ultraportable. Some people may prefer this category of laptop as they have better performance, and although the size is larger than the ultraportable, still easy to carry. The thin and light laptop has the following characteristics:
- Thickness of approximately 1 inch
- Weight between 4 to 6 pounds

- More connection ports than the ultraportable + optical drive

Midsize
This is the most common type of laptop. While the design of ultraportable and thin-and-light laptop are emphasizing on portability, and desktop replacement is design for high performance, the midsize laptop is not specialized in any of them. It's slightly larger and heavier than the thin-and-light laptop, and is not particularly suitable for travel. Most home users who do not need to travel a lot with their laptop will find this laptop suitable for them. The midsize laptop has the following characteristics:
- Thickness: > 1 inch
- Weight between 6 to 8 pounds
- Diagonal screen size of 14 to 15.4 inches
- Can have a wide range of processor, from the fast Core 2 Duo processors or Turion 64X2 to Slow/budget AMD Sempron or Intel Celeron

- Appearance is not as attractive as ultraportable / thin-and-light
- Starting price: $500
Available pink laptops in this category include: Sony VAIO FZ series, Dell Inspiron 1520 & 1525


Desktop replacement
This is the bulkiest but also with the best performance laptop. It can be carry for short distance, but is definitely not for long travel. As the name suggest, the desktop replacement is designed to have the performance and features that you can get from a desktop PC. With its high performance and complete set of features, the desktop replacement is most suitable for gamers and home / business users who use their laptops for high level digital video or mutimedia work. The desktop replacement laptop has the following characteristics:
- Thickness: > 1 inch
- Weight 7.5 pounds or more
- Diagonal screen size of 17 to 20 inches
- Fast dual core processor
- Most connection ports + memory card reader, two layer DVD burner
- Limited battery life it's not designed for mobility
- Starting price: $1000
Available pink laptops in this category include: Dell Inspiron 1720

Each categories have their good and bad. A few thing that you should be considering while buying a laptop: the frequency that you will be traveling with your laptop, the performance and features of the laptop that meets your requirement, and maybe the appearance of the laptop. This will help you to get yourself an ideal pink laptop.

Pink Laptop Buying Guide - Overview

The fancy pink laptop has become popular among female laptop users especially after the movie legally blonde. I was once asked by a friend for recommendation for a new laptop. After recommending several laptop models which I think are good in performance with reasonable price, she ends up buying a pink fancy laptop (which is not in my list) with almost the same price, but with lower performance and functionality. I then realized that for some laptop users (mostly girls), a pink color laptop is much more important than any other aspects of a laptop. If you are one of those in this category, this is the pink laptop guide that will help you to get a pretty pink laptop, and yet with performance and functionality that suits your need. As an overview, these are the few important aspects of the laptop that you should consider when buying a laptop:

Portability
When we talk about portability, we are mostly referring to the size and the weight of a laptop. Most pink laptop lovers out there would rather have a smaller size laptop as it looks cooler and is of course more portable. But in fact, there are pros and cons for having a small laptop. Besides having a smaller screen and keyboard, it often has less features compare to their bulkier brethren due to its size limitation. On the other hand, the bulkier laptop has better functionalities and performance, but is hard to carry and occupying more space. So we will have to give up either one -- portability or functionality. It's important that we think about what's the most important to ourselves: performance, appearance, long battery life, functionality, or lower price. There are generally 5 categories of laptop in terms of portability: Desktop replacement, midsize, thin and light, ultraportable and tablet PC. You will find more in depth discussion about laptop portability in another article on this site.

Specs
Laptop comes in a wide variety of specs. Different specs will suit different people, depending on your own needs. Many manufacturers nowadays offer custom configuration for new laptop. So besides making sure that the color of the laptop is pink, it's critical that you understand at least the few most important specs of your laptop, to be able to select the specs that suit you most. We will break this into a few most important specs: processor, memory, display card and discuss each of them in details in a separate article.

Operating System
The operating system is the most important program which you use to operate your pink laptop. Using the right Operating system will save you a lot of times and money. So when buying a laptop, it's important that you know which operating system is installed. The three most common operating system for business and home users are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. While most laptops come with Microsoft Windows, which most people are most familiar with, there are laptops that are default to other OS such as the Apple MacBook (Mac OS), and the Asus Eee PC (Linux). So pay attention to what OS the vendor is offering before buying it.

Accessories
What accessories do you need for your pink laptop. This again is mostly depending on your own needs. Getting the right accessories will help you to improve the usability of your laptop. Some common accessories that laptop users might find useful are External drives, Docking station, Extra battery, Laptop bag, Mouse and keyboard.
