Barebook

Before you begin ordering the barebook and all associated components, you need to be clear what the main purpose of the machine is going to be and what your own habits of use are like.For example, if you are a hard-core gamer, battery life or mobility will be less important - or not important at all. What will count mainly for you is 3-D performance, 3-D performance and - did I mention this already - 3-D performance. This target group wants to play today's games with the maximum possible quality settings on their notebooks as well. In that case, the choice will be a device with a large screen, if possible a swappable graphics subsystem and maximum expandability. Gamers will usually tolerate desktop CPUs and the associated noise level: after all, the graphics processor and CPU need to be cooled, and powerful and usually loud fans are required to do that.

The average user who has low to medium gaming ambitions and uses the device primarily for standard business applications, will be well served with a 15" device and dedicated graphics chip. Anyone who also frequently uses the notebook as a DVD video player should think about using a bare-bones with a 15.4" display and wide-screen resolution. However, it should be noted that as the diagonal measurement increases, the weight increases and battery life decreases in the same proportion.
