Naturally, we will spend many hours looking at the screen of our laptop. It is for this very reason that we must take into account the characteristics and features offered by the laptop screen that we are going to buy. We will help you by indicating what parameters you should set and which are the most appropriate. We will especially focus on screen size, panel type and resolution, but we will also see other aspects to take into account.

Screen size, very important
The first thing you want to consider when buying a laptop is the size of its screen, since the size of the entire computer itself depends on it. Screen size is measured in inches and is a diagonal measurement, from corner to corner; Generally, the most common sizes in laptop screens are 17.3 inches at the largest, going to 15.4 inches as the most standardized size and then we have smaller sizes like 13.3 inches and even less.

The overall size of the equipment and its weight will depend on the size of the screen, as well as the internal hardware that it mounts. Thus, a 17.3-inch laptop may be too big and heavy for many users, but those looking for a gaming laptop will appreciate a larger screen and the fact that being a larger laptop, it can incorporate more powerful hardware by having with a better cooling system.

On the contrary, users who need to constantly carry their laptop from one place to another will appreciate smaller screens that, although they will be more uncomfortable to work with, will make the equipment much smaller, more manageable and lighter.
