Now more and more popular is the purchase of a laptop for study. If 5 years ago, not many were interested in this, now it is almost an obligatory attribute of study. Some universities even warn that parents should buy a son / daughter for a successful study.
Now, as never before, the choice of laptops is huge, there are even special versions of them for study. And here the problems begin. An often asked question in such cases: Which one to choose? Which one is best for you? Is it worth it to give such money for a certain laptop?
This article will help everyone to finally choose a laptop that is right for you, for your pace of work at hobbies.
At the moment there are many companies that produce different laptops, which in their own way are good. In this case, each brand of the laptop has its own personal characteristics and this should pay attention.
Before you start choosing a laptop, you need to decide what exactly you need: work, rest or study. It is also necessary to pay attention to the operational efficiency and practical necessity - these are the main criteria. When you decide for which area of activity you need a laptop, how much work will be done and with what loads - half of the laptops will not work for you, that is, the choice has been reduced by half.
An equally important step in choosing a laptop is choosing the brand. Of course, each company strives to allocate its laptop from the best side, while not showing its shortcomings. That's why you need to study the laptops you are interested in and compare, so from 10 laptops after the comparison will remain 2-3. When choosing a brand, you should study its advantages and dignity over the rest. It is worth remembering that the more solid the brand, the more expensive the laptop - it's already wrapping the brand.
Now you can often see discounts on the laptop, which should pay attention, because it's a chance to save money. But why sellers make discounts? There are several reasons.
- The laptop was removed from production due to technical problems.
- The warehouse of production is overcrowded with this model.
- To increase the number of sales of this model.
If you want to save money, it's worth remembering that the possibility and speed of the laptop will be less. If you want the laptop to be universal and have good speed, then its price will be more expensive, but in the work this difference is justified.
So, what kind of notebook should be for study?
- it should be easy to use and have an attractive and durable housing, resistant to mechanical stress;
- it should have a screen more than 15 inches, for convenient operation;
- it should have a functional keyboard (better full);
- it should have a high-quality stuffing that allows the laptop to work long, fast, high-quality and perform several tasks simultaneously.
If you often move around and you need to always carry your laptop with you, then a lighter version of it is better suited, that would be less tired. But it's worth noting, the smaller the laptop, the smaller its diagonal or its less performance.
For good performance and performance of the laptop you need a good processor. The central processor (CPU, also the central processing unit - CPU) is an electronic unit or an integrated circuit (microprocessor) that executes machine instructions (program code), the main part of the hardware of the computer or the programmable logic controller. The more powerful the processor, the faster the work of the laptop. To study some kind of super processor of a new generation will not be needed. But at the same time buying laptops with old and outdated processors because of their price is not worth it, because it will do harm to the work. It is worth choosing a processor of average performance, which can simultaneously solve many tasks.
Atom, Core Duo and Core 2 Duo processors are inexpensive but powerful processors, which you will need.
Compulsory and important ability of the laptop is Internet access . But at the moment almost all laptops have such a function, as many laptops have Wi-Fi, which in our time is a very useful feature.
The operating memory of the laptop has a big impact on the speed of the processors. If you need to work fast and hard, then try to staff your high-speed processor with large main memory. It's worth noting that in some notebooks, RAM can be increased (for example: from 2 GB to 4 GB - this is a big difference). This is exactly the case, the code is bigger - better.
It is also worth paying attention to the choice of video card , on which the quality of the video image depends. If you are not with those who like to play computer games, then you can save a lot on the video card. So, for work, there will be enough video cards with a capacity of 512 MB, for the game you need 1-2 GB. The important thing is that a powerful video card takes a considerable resource of the processor.
Hard disk space is better to have the maximum and here it is not important for games, studies or work, in any case, a large amount of space is required. If you want to save money, you can purchase an average hard drive, and then replace it with a more powerful one. For study, work for the beginning will be quite enough volume - 350-500 GB.
It is worth paying attention to the additional capabilities of the device . In this case, important will be: 3G-connection, HDMI-out, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and others according to needs. But all the extra features are worth the extra money, but those that I have listed are already standard. But all the possibilities are useful in their own way, but if you do not need it, why buy it.
Unlike a PC, the parameters of the laptop are very difficult to change, and it's not recommended to do it yourself. But still, that you can change / improve: hard drive parameters, battery capacity, drive speed, RAM. The rest can not be changed. That is why it is extremely desirable to buy a laptop with the most convenient for you features and functions that will never fail you and do not upset you.
