    A notebook's size, weight, screen, performance, and battery life are typical selling points, areas you’d pay close attention to when comparing different models. However, it's the small things that make everyday life livable. Depending on when, where, and how you want to plug something into your notebook, a certain port selection and arrangement may work better than others.
