A laptop, also known as a notebook, is a portable computer. When you are looking for the right laptop, it is important to know where you are going to work with it. Do you want to use it on the road? Choose a model with a special energy-saving 'mobile' processor, a good battery and a reasonably small display. This will allow you to work longer with the same battery and saves you the trouble of carrying around a large display that consumes a lot of precious battery power. Or will you be using you laptop mainly in places where you will have access to a power outlet? Then choose a desktop processor (more processing power for less money) and an ordinary battery. This will save you a lot of money, which you could then spend on a bigger screen. You'll work faster because you can view more information at once and it's great for multimedia!

Product MSI GT740 RRP £1,314.99 Specs www.msi.com The very first thing you'll notice about the GT740 is that it's a beast, a huge laptop that won't feel too comfortable on your actual lap unless you're some kind of gargantuan giant with a lap of steel...
Bottom line 7/10. It's a great little (big) machine if you use it right. As a home PC and desktop replacement, getting work done, loading and multitasking applications in Windows 7 is all fast and seamless. However, the low battery life - you won't be able to run...
