5 Common Mistakes Sri Lankans Make When Buying a Laptop 

At OMAK.LK we see these mistakes daily. 

Mistake 1 – Looking Only at Processor 

People ask: 

“i7 ekakda?” 

But ignore: 

• RAM 

• SSD 

• Display 

• Generation 

i5 12th Gen > i7 8th Gen 
Generation matters! 

Mistake 2 – Buying Without SSD 

HDD laptops in Sri Lanka feel: 

• Slow 

• Heat more 

• Lagging 

Always choose SSD. 

Mistake 3 – Ignoring Warranty Source 

Some laptops have: 

• Shop warranty only 

• No agent support 

• No parts 

OMAK.LK provides official warranty only. 

Mistake 4 – Not Thinking About Usage 

Buying gaming laptop for: 

• Only Word & Zoom = waste of money 

Buying low laptop for: 

• Video editing = frustration 

Mistake 5 – No Future Upgrade Plan 

Check: 

• Can RAM upgrade? 

• Extra SSD slot? 

• Battery availability? 

How to Buy Smart? 

Before buying ask: 

1. What will I do? 

2. How many years use? 

3. Need portability? 

4. Budget limit?
