Choosing a laptop is a rather complicated process, which must be approached with a great deal of responsibility so as not to be disappointed with the purchase in the future and not to regret the money wasted.
So how to avoid mistakes? You will learn about this now.
Budget option
In order to save money, some people prefer to buy budget options. And this is one of the main mistakes, as they are quite weak and have low performance.
The only thing they are suitable for is surfing the Internet, communicating on social networks and working with documents.
But here too there is a controversial point - if there are many tabs open in the browser, the laptop may start to slow down, and in addition, the system update may eat up all the resources, which will also lead to freezing. Therefore, the best option is to buy a more powerful laptop.
Buying a laptop instead of a PC
A laptop will never be a full-fledged replacement for a desktop computer. But here everything depends on the tasks for which you buy it.
If we are talking about students and pupils, then it is quite possible to get by with a laptop. Also, a laptop is suitable for people whose work is related to documents.
If you like to play modern games and work with 3D graphics or do design or modeling, then in this case it is worth buying a stationary PC with good performance.
Buying an expensive laptop
Many people believe that the more expensive a laptop is, the more powerful and productive it is. In fact, this is not always the case.
After all, the price depends not only on the components, but also on the case material, the matrix used, the type of screen, the design of the device and even the brand.
Therefore, a laptop costing 150-200 thousand rubles does not guarantee good performance, especially if it is an ultrabook, the concept of which implies a compact size and light weight, or devices from Apple.
All typical tasks will be processed instantly. But it is not designed for working with professional programs, since the thin case and insufficient cooling system will not be able to remove excess heat from the components. Consequently, the laptop will start to slow down and freeze.
The more RAM the better
It doesn't always make sense to overpay for a large amount of RAM. For example, a laptop with 6-8 GB of RAM is quite enough for surfing, watching videos and working with documents.
For those who like powerful games, working with graphics and more complex processes, laptops with at least 16 GB of RAM are suitable.
High resolution screen
All well-known companies have recently started to actively produce laptops with 4K resolution with a screen diagonal of no more than 17 inches. But it is important to consider that high resolution on a small screen is almost unnoticeable.
Therefore, it makes sense to overpay for a high-resolution screen if we are talking about a laptop with a powerful video card and processor.
As for laptops with 15-17 inch screens, a FULL HD resolution (1920x1080) will be quite sufficient for them.
We hope that our recommendations will help you choose a laptop that will not only please you with good performance, but will also serve you for many years.
