There are many nuances to consider when buying a laptop. All the main characteristics of the purchased mobile computer must be reasonably well balanced.
Instructions
Step 1
If you need to buy a powerful laptop, this does not mean that you should immediately forget about cheap models. Quite often, the buyer pays for the brand, and not for quality or other parameters. First select the CPU. The ideal number of cores for it is 3 or 4.
Step 2
Pay attention to the clock speed of each core. It should not be less than 2.5 GHz. It makes no sense to use four cores with a frequency of 1.7 GHz. It is better to use a CPU with four physical cores rather than two virtual ones.
Step 3
Determine the amount of RAM you need. Nowadays it is not difficult to find mobile computers with 6-8 GB of RAM. Naturally, the RAM type must be DDR3. Pay attention to the clock speed of the memory cards. It should not be less than 700 MHz.
Step 4
Now choose the graphics card that suits you. In the case of a powerful laptop, its memory should be at least 2 GB. Naturally, it is better to purchase a 512-bit video adapter. It is better to check in advance the characteristics of the video card installed in the laptop. There are advanced versions that rarely work at the maximum stated performance.
Step 5
Please note that powerful devices consume a lot of energy. In this regard, it is necessary to find out the quality of the laptop cooling system. Ideally, tubular coolers are better than standard coolers. Examine the vents to make sure the laptop will not overheat. It is better to test the processor and video card before buying.
Step 6
Naturally, pay attention to the battery. Ideally, get an extra battery right away. Powerful laptops rarely last more than three hours without recharging. If there is an opportunity to purchase a mobile computer with a second integrated video adapter, then use it.
