It is not easy to choose a laptop that suits you. We will talk about what we need to pay attention to when buying a laptop in UK.
First of all, the shape.
The light and portable laptop focuses on extreme light and thin. For people who have been away on business for a long time, it is suitable. It has a long endurance. Regular office software or simple two-dimensional design software will be used.
All-round laptop takes into account color value, portability and certain game performance.
CPU is the core of a laptop. Its performance will determine the running speed of it. The current mainstream CPU is sufficient for daily office work. It is important to have a CPU with strong performance for rendering/3D mapping, video editing and simulation operations.
There are INTEL and AMD that make laptop CPU on the market. INTEL has a large share in the world. Its CPU covers a high price. It is the only one in the field of high-performance processors.
AMD’s market share is smaller than INTEL’s. AMD has developed well in the past two years. It has made corresponding price adjustments in terms of performance and power consumption in the low-priced light and thin market.
As for CPU, the mainstream INTEL i5 10300H quad-core can meet most games and daily office needs. INTEL is expensive. The cost performance of mainstream laptops is lower than AMD.
Laptops have graphics cards. The CPU will bring an integrated graphics card to ensure the normal use of laptops. Normal office does not require discrete graphics cards. Integrated graphics cards consume less power and heat than discrete graphics cards. They are the first choice for light and thin laptops. If you want to use Adobe software or 3D modeling and graphics, you need a separate graphics card.
For the needs of playing games, the requirements for graphics cards are different. In short, the stronger card is suitable for playing games.
The capacity of the hard disk determines how many files and videos can be stored on the laptop.
The speed of the hard disk determines the smoothness of start up and shutdown, software loading and overall use. Solid state is tens of times faster than mechanical hard disk. It is better for laptops to have solid-state drives. Ordinary SATA protocol solid-state drives are sufficient. But most mainstream laptops will have solid-state drives that support PCIe protocol.
Capacity: Light and thin laptops for office use are 256G/512G solid-state drives sufficient. For game laptops, 512G can be started. Most game laptops have mechanical hard disk locations. They can be installed for subsequent requirements.
Memory: Daily laptops are recommended to start at 8G. When playing single machine or opening multiple software, it is recommended to add 16G of memory. Two 8G pieces of memory can form two channels of memory. Dual-channel memory for GTX1060 or higher performance graphics cards, the number of frames will increase when playing games.
The above knowledge can be used when purchasing laptops. Choose a suitable and easy-to-use laptop!
