3 simple ways to get budget laptops

Laptops are became part of our life. They are widely used in homes, business and colleges. Laptops are available in many different types, sizes, colours. It is really tough to choose the right one.

There are so many factors to consider while buying budget laptops: RAM, screen size, software, hard drive size, and price. The price scenario would be one of the most challenging tasks to buy budget laptops.

There are so many components to consider when you want to buy budget laptops like how often you use the laptop, what types of apps will you run on your laptop, what type of user you are.

Laptops are categorized mainly by their function and size. Your PC is more comfortable with big keyboard, powerful processor and wider screen. But usually on the move you cannot carry your PC with you. Laptops are handy and convenient.

Follow the below 3 simple ways to buy budget laptops:

Consider what type of OS you are looking for:-

Windows, Linux and Mac are considered for most of the laptops. Try out above three types on your friend’s computer or store and see what type of OS suites to you.

Choose the OS which is easier to run, flexible to use. There are some applications which can run only on selected Operating Systems. So select the one which serves your needs.

Consider the features to match your requirements:-

Check the central processing unit. Faster and higher end laptops should have multi-core Central processing unit like AMD, Intel, and ARM.

Look for RAM memory that is suitable to you. Large apps need more RAM memory to run. The more RAM memory you have, the faster you can run your laptop. 1 gigabyte, 2 gigabyte, 3 gigabyte, 4 gigabyte are available in the market. 3 GB is suggested to run any type of application.

If you love to play games, graphic card is the one more option you should consider.

Look for a retailer for shopping budget laptops:-

The main task in buying budget laptops is to choose the best retailer. Consider specific stores that will sell only laptops, computers and computer parts. You can get your favourite laptop even from online auction sites, online retail stores, Department stores, General electronic stores where you will get other electronic goods also.

Online auction sites are considered as the best option to buy budget laptops.  

If you want to experience the above features, you can visit nearest store or online sites to buy your desired laptop.

If you are taking laptop on loan, make sure that it comes with payment protection insurance. If you lose your job you can apply for PPI claims.

Install your favourite Linux Distribution 'ubuntu' in your new Nexus 7 tablet..

I think you all know about how mobile are changing to an revolutionary devices called smartphones, tablets etc. I think than Nexus doesn't require any introduction.Now nexus 7 has not only supported by its factory installed Jelly Bean version of Android OS but can be installed by the latest and popular Linux Distribution Ubuntu. The major company in field of supporting Linux 'Canonical' has now able to set an Ubuntu OS instead of Jelly Bean.

This post will help you out to how to install the Ubuntu into your Nexus 7 by just following simple steps.The best part of the Nexus 7 is that you can revert back to Google Android Jelly Bean if needed.

1) Gathering of tools required to perform installation.

Arrange all basic tools to start installation procedures like your device,usb's,ubuntu os etc.

Get your Ubuntu nexus 7 installer by running these commands below on your linux machine.

I hope you have a Linux installed in your system else you would not reading this post.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-nexus7/ubuntu-nexus7-installer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-nexus7-installer

It will install installer on your machine. Be patient as it takes some time to download and install.

2) Now it's time to unlock your nexus 7

As it's not so easy as you thought but also not so hard that you can do it. Be patient and follow the steps carefully.As Nexus 7 ships with a locked boot loader we must unlock it in order to install custom images to our device. It is required only once. Once we get it onto its boot loader we can load any OS we want to install.

 Special Note**:If you unlock the boot loader than it will erase all the data and reset it to factory defaults. So be aware of tha. Comfuge.org is not liable in any condition responsible for any loss of data.

Step 1 :Reboot the Android device into the Android boot loader. To do this, hold the volume down
             button and press the power button. Continue holding the volume down and power button
             until you see the boot loader UI.

Step 2: Plug in your device with your laptop with your micro-usb cable,the device now displays the boot
              loader GUI, which looks like this:

                     

1. Verify the fastboot lists on the device.To check run in a terminal on your laptop:

   $ sudo fastboot devices
   1234567891234567        fastboot

2. Now start the boot loader unlock process as:

   sudo fastboot oem unlock

3. Now you are prompted on screen to unlock the bootloader on the Android device screen. Follow the on-screen directions to continue. Your screen should now look like this:

                                   

  4. Complete the process by rebooting:

• sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader

Or simply press the power button.

When device is reboots you will ee "Lock State-Unlocked".

3)Installing Ubuntu on your Nexus 7

Once every thing is  setup, the installation can now start. To install, ensure the Nexus 7 is in fastboot mode.

Note**: All other device should be disconnected so as to avoid any disharm to other devices.

Find for the installer in the dashboard or search for nexus 

Installer will provide a GUI for installing Ubuntu.It will download the latest image automatically, and flash it accordingly. The flashing step nearly takes about 2 minutes. Once the flashing is complete, the device will reboot and finish the installation.These steps may take 10-15 minutes.

Here I have taken snaps of various phases which will go on during the installation of the Ubuntu. It will then give the real idea what comes next and what to do. If any thing goes wrong they you can easily identify it. 

                         

                               

                               

                                

                 

                             

                               

4)If any things goes wrong than you can return back to your Android

If any mishap happens or you are unable to get the Ubuntu than there is solution for you.Go to this link and download the factory Android for nexus: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasi-jro03d-factory-e102ba72.tgz
Follow these simple steps to get back to your original jelly bean.

Once download finishes than uncompress the tarball with following commands

tar zxvf nakasi-jro03d-factory-e102ba72.tgz

Then, place your machine into fastboot mode and run the resulting script(I have told you how to do it):

cd nakasi-jro03d/
sudo ./flash-all.sh

On installing you will get following errors which you should ignore like:

archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
archive does not contain 'system.sig'

5)Checking and troubleshooting your install

If you have any problems than follow these steps. I hope you will got your answers.

1. Detaching of USB cable and re-attaching it after a restart in a fastboot mode.
2. If still any problem persist than reboot your host PC might it is one of the cause of failure.
3. Still having any issues use different USB cable.
4. If 16G tab image doesnt work than use the 8G image might it will solve the problem.
5. If you still having succesive failures than return back your device to factiry image and try again.
6. If none of it works fell free to ask any question. Dont't worry i will not keep you wait longer or you can raise your problem on Ask Ubuntu or in a #ubuntu-arm channel on freenode. If you believe that it's a bug then file a bug against ubuntu-nexus7 in Launchpad.
