If you are looking for a laptop and wondering what your brand of choice should be, the first decision is not the brand its working on what you need. Today there is such a wide variety of laptops available a buyer can get really confused. If you are also one of the people that gets confused every time you look at a laptop catalogue then don't worry help is at hand. The first thing you need to understand is that the make of a laptop does make a difference, however your decision should be made on what you are being offered and also what you need.

Today one of the leading computer brands in the UK market is Acer, in fact Acer is the 4th largest computer manufacturer on the planet, and it recently surpassed Lenovo for the 4th position in terms of market share. Known for their extensive range of laptops, Acer has made a name for itself when it comes to the sheer variety of laptops it offers. The marketing concept of Acer is simple. Unlike other brands that tend to cater to niche markets, Acer produces a wide variety of laptops that cater to all types of users. From the coveted Ferrari laptops to the newly launched gemstone laptops Acer is built on a market strategy that is designed for a wider audience.

If you are looking for a laptop not just an Acer laptop, the first thing you should look into is the processor the laptop is using. There are currently two major manufacturers of processors in the market, the first is the US based Intel and the second is AMD. Both Intel and AMD have similar lines of processors, the only difference is that AMD based laptops are cheaper when compared to Intel based laptops. Acer is perhaps the only company that has no bias towards any particular brand of processors and offers laptops that are based on both AMD and Intel processors.

After the processor the next aspect of selecting a laptop depends more on what you intend to do with the laptop. If you are planning to carry out graphic processing and video editing then look for a laptop that has a dedicated graphics card. A graphics card allows easy graphics manipulation. Also a graphics card is essential if you are looking to play graphic intensive games on your laptop. Acer's Aspire 5720WLMi (gemstone) is one of the few laptops that can offer a blend of power and elegance, if you are looking to get yourself a gemstone laptop the only place in the UK where you can buy one is on www.acerdirect.co.uk.

Also if you love cars and especially Ferraris (who doesn't?) then the only company that can offer you a Ferrari laptop is Acer. Acer manufactures licensed Ferrari laptops and a Ferrari laptop is perhaps the easiest ways to join a club of elite laptop owners. Remember the brand of the laptop you own is just as important as the hardware. And if you are looking to buy an economical and stylish laptop then a look at Acer's catalogue is worth it.
