Checks to perform on the laptop if you are buying it from a store

There is no doubt that online shopping has had a great effect on our shopping habits but there are still many people out there who like to buy online gadgets from brick and mortar stores. This population is very particular while buying electronic gadgets such as laptops from brick and mortar stores because they consider this experience as a very fulfilling experience. The best part about shopping at a brick and mortar store is that you buy what you see which is not always the case with online shopping.

So, for those people who feel comfortable in buying your laptops from the laptop showroom in Anna Nagar or you are visiting the laptop store to buy or just browsing the laptop, there are a short series of tests that you could perform to finalize the laptop model that you want to buy.

The checks that you need to perform before buying a laptop


  • When testing the laptop, the first thing that you need to keep in your mind is to check out the display thoroughly. The display of the laptop is the thing that you would be looking at most of the time, therefore, the display of the laptop should be comfortable to the eyes. In the store, turn the brightness of the display to the highest and see if the brightness is comfortable enough for you.
  • Ask the store manager to allow you to perform a timed cold boot. The cold boot starts up the RAM and then it performs some self-tests. From the time the power button starts to boost up, measure the time by running the stopwatch. Stop the timer when the windows have finished boosting. You should be okay with the time that the laptop takes to reboot. Also, test whether the laptop has a browser like Chrome or Firefox.


Buying a laptop from a reputed store like Acer laptop store in Chennai ensures that the laptop you buy is in the best of conditions. The quality checks that you perform also makes sure that you do not have to make any compromise regarding the quality of the laptop.
