<human>:  I want to purchase a new laptop computer but do not know what features to look for. Can you give me guidance?
<bot>: When purchasing a new laptop computer, consider what type of processor you need, how much system memory, storage capacity, and graphics/display capabilities it should have. Also, examine the available ports and what types of software the laptop comes with. Look at the overall size, battery life, and weight of the laptop, as well as the cost. Finally, check the reviews to make sure that the laptop meets your requirements.
