Are you planning to buy a laptop? This article mainly provides a detailed introduction to notebook configuration. Regardless of whether you have a notebook or not, you can read this article to have a clearer understanding of and purchase of notebooks.

Currently, there are categories such as thin and light laptops, gaming laptops, and business laptops on the market. Generally, portable thin and light notebooks are small in size and have relatively low performance requirements. They are quite satisfactory for office use and do not require a separate graphics card. The gaming notebook is relatively large compared to the screen size, so portability can be ignored. Playing games requires high configuration requirements, requiring powerful configuration and independent graphics.

When we buy a notebook, we still mainly look at the CPU, memory, hard drive, graphics card, monitor, heat dissipation, etc. What kind of configuration is suitable for you? Detailed introduction below.

1. CPU

As an important part of the notebook, the CPU is equivalent to the brain of the human body. The quality of the CPU directly affects the overall performance of the computer. Currently, the mainstream laptops on the market still use Intel Core CPUs. The CPU performance of the Core I series from high to low is i7>i5>i3

Those ending with U are low-voltage CPUs with relatively low power consumption, such as: i7-6500/7500U, i5 -6200/7200U, i3-6100/7100U. For friends who need to carry laptops for office work, business trips, audio-visual entertainment and simple games, low-voltage series processors are obviously more suitable.

Y series ultra-low voltage processors, ultra-low power processors, common Y series processors such as "m7-6Y75/i7-7Y75, m5-6Y54/i5-7Y54, m3-6Y30/ 7Y30. Products using this processor are rare, and are generally found in fanless or ultra-thin notebook products of various brands. For example, Apple's MacBook 12-inch and 12.5-inch versions of Xiaomi notebooks are equipped with this processor. The performance of this type of product can basically only meet the needs of daily document editing, web browsing, and video viewing, and does not meet the requirements of high-performance productivity or gaming equipment.

Most users prefer standard voltage series processors. Products with HQ and HK suffixes are all quad-core series. The current common standard voltage processors are: i7-6820/7820HK, i7-6700/7700HQ, i5-6300/7300HQ. -6100/7100H. Some domestic gaming notebook products are relatively common. Whether it is for games, high-performance processors are also a top priority in the application of software decoding, transcoding, and various professional image software.

Of course, the bigger the memory, the better.We are currently in the final stage of the replacement of DDR3 and DDR4, although most manufacturers' products are already equipped with the latest DDR4 memory. Currently, mainstream notebooks generally have 8GB of memory, which can basically be used to play games safely. There are also products with 4GB or higher. For users who need to play large-scale 3D games, some games are increasingly demanding memory. 8GB of memory is basically not enough, so they need to be equipped with A memory of more than 16GB is required to ensure that there is no shortage of memory.

3. Hard drive

There are two main types of hard drives: solid-state drives (SSDs) and mechanical hard drives (HDDs). The read and write speed of solid state drive SSD is definitely faster than that of HDD, it is noiseless and has the characteristics of fast boot speed. Most thin and light laptops on the market currently use SSD. SSD solid state drives are relatively expensive and have smaller storage capacity. If you have large-capacity data storage needs, you can buy a notebook with solid state drive SSD + mechanical hard drive HDD, and use SSD for the system disk. Data that is not commonly used can be placed on the HDD hard drive. Mechanical hard drives have large storage capacities, usually 500GB and 1T mechanical hard drives are more common. The reading and writing speed of mechanical hard disk is slower than that of fixed hard disk, and the noise is relatively loud.
