THE IN-CROWD on HSN at INTEL.HSN.COM
I’m currently shopping for a new 2-in-1 laptop that will primarily be used by 8-year old, and want to be sure I’m not only getting the best laptop for our needs but also a good value. I’ve purchased many PC’s, laptops and tablets over the years, but still feel like there is more to know. I’m learning a lot from THE IN-CROWD on HSN at INTEL.HSN.COM and am excited to share it with you. Buying a new laptop or PC is a big purchase, so it is nice to have a little guidance from the experts at HSN.
THE IN-CROWD on HSN at INTEL.HSN.COM is your connection to those products, a relatable resource for all-things Intel. An engaging quiz and video series within the site will walk you through different Intel-based devices and keep you in-the-know, helping you identify which specific features and products best fit your needs.
I recommend starting out by taking the online quiz to ‘discover your dream device’ and check out the processor comparison chart to see which of the Intel processors best fits your lifestyle. The laptop I’m shopping for will be used by the whole family for a variety of purposes. My quiz result recommended the Dell Inspiron 11.6″ Touch Intel Quad-Core 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD Windows 10 Convertible Laptop and it looks like the perfect device for us.
How to find the right laptop for your family:
Choosing the right processor.
Since it’s the heart of your computer, running the operating system and every application you use, choosing the right processor is especially important. Consider buying a device with an Intel® processor. With the power of an Intel-based device, you’ll enjoy options that are lighter and more stylish, have sharper screens, and work at amazingly fast speeds.
Is a 2-in-1 device right for you?
2-in-1 Laptops are one device that give you twice the possibilities. Instead of having 2 devices, a laptop and tablet, a 2-in-1 provides the functionality of both. Perfect for families, a 2-in-1 can easily go from laptop to tablet mode to watch a movie or play a game. The savings you get with a 2-in-1 is clear, but it is also nice to have one less gadget to worry about.
How good is the battery life?
There was a time when a faster processing speed surely meant a shorter battery life, but that’s not the case with the latest Intel® processors. You can go further in a single charge with an Intel-based device which is especially nice when you’re trying to keep the kids entertained.
With so many brands, models and specifications, shopping for a new device can seem daunting. All you want is a computer that makes the things you already do feel easier, faster and better. I encourage you to visit THE IN-CROWD on HSN to check out the new video series, take the quiz and find the right laptop for your family. Which features are important for your family?
