Modern computer manufacturers offer consumers a huge range of different laptops. Choosing the right mobile PC allows you to save money by avoiding overpaying for unnecessary features. The selection of a laptop should be based on the individual needs of the future user.
Dimensions and appearance
When choosing the display size, consider the purpose for which you will be using your mobile computer. If you plan to constantly carry your laptop with you, pay attention to portable devices (netbooks) with a matrix size of 10 to 12 inches. Unfortunately, using such computers is not always convenient. If you will be working on a laptop at home or in the office, consider purchasing a computer with a large screen (17.3 inches). The most versatile option is 14-inch devices.
Pay attention to the look of the laptop, especially the keyboard. A properly sized keyboard will greatly simplify the typing process. This is true in cases where the laptop will be used primarily for working with documents. The most convenient keyboards are those with a gap between the buttons. The presence of a separate digital block is also a plus.
Specifications
A gaming mobile computer must have a separate video card. Integrated video chips can only cope with games with relatively simple graphics. A gaming laptop with a really powerful video card usually costs more than 35,000 rubles. Currently, nVidia 4-6 series mobile video cards are relevant. It is better to study the advantages of a particular graphics card model in advance.
Integrated graphics reduce the performance of the laptop because when working, they use the RAM of the mobile PC, and not their own resources.
If you plan to use a mobile computer in the office, buying a laptop with integrated graphics is ideal. Integrated chips will do an excellent job with tasks such as watching videos, surfing the Internet, using simple graphics editors, etc.
Modern laptop processors have at least two physical cores. This is sufficient for most everyday tasks. A quad-core processor is worth choosing if you will be using a large number of relatively "heavy" programs at the same time. In the latter case, the amount of RAM must be more than 4 Gb.
Some sellers are cunning, indicating 4 processor cores. This often means the presence of Hyper Treading technology, which allows using 4 threads for 2 cores.
The speed of a computer depends not only on the processor and the amount of RAM. If the speed of loading the operating system, the speed of opening and saving files, the ability to almost instantly launch programs are extremely important for you, choose a laptop with an SSD type hard drive. The most ideal option would be to buy a mobile PC, which has the ability to install an SSD drive together with a standard HDD drive. This will allow you to speed up your laptop by providing the ability to store a large number of files in permanent memory.
