Recommending laptops to students in summer vacation has also become an annual retention item for everyone. In order to gain popularity, Tony also quickly wrote this incomplete guide to purchasing laptops for college students.
Of course, even if you are not a college student, I think you can choose a computer that suits you from here.
This time, I found several good laptops, which are divided into three types: thin notebooks, thin performance notebooks and game notebooks, hoping to provide some help to prospective college students who buy laptops.
In addition, the prices mentioned in this article are all based on official website, so you can go to the e-commerce platform to get more favorable (or more expensive) prices.
The first is a thin notebook. This kind of notebook is usually not expensive, which is very suitable for students who don't have high requirements on configuration, or people who often need to take their computers around.
The first notebook recommended by Tony here is Lenovo Xiao Xin Air series.
Lenovo's new computers in recent years have a good price/performance ratio, and Xiao Xin Air is the notebook computer that focuses on price/performance ratio and light series.
The minimum configuration price of Xiao Xin Airlines 14 is only 4299 yuan.
Moreover, it is said to be the lowest. Xiao Xin Air 14 still has AMD R5 processor, 16GB memory and 5 12GB solid state drive.
However, the lack of unique display is a serious problem of the latest Air 14, so it is estimated that it will be very difficult to run some large-scale software or games. . .
So Tony recommended the 5499 yuan version. In addition to replacing the Intel i5 processor with 1 1 generation, it is also equipped with the MX450 of GDDR6.
This configuration can basically meet the four-year study and entertainment in college, and it is no problem to play games with low configuration requirements.
As for Lenovo Xiao Xin's Pro series, Tony doesn't recommend it here.
Most of this series is concentrated display. Pro 16 with GTX 1650 graphics card costs 6699 yuan, so it is better to buy the game book mentioned later.
Another recommended thin book is RedmiBook 14 Pro series, and its lowest price is only 4299 yuan, but it is also not displayed. . .
So Tony naturally recommended the version of 5299 yuan. It is equipped with 1 1 generation Intel i5 processor like Xiao Xin Air 14, but it is equipped with GDDR5 MX450 graphics card.
This computer is slightly inferior to Xiao Xin's Air 14 in graphics performance, but it is not only cheaper in Redmi, but also equipped with a 2.5K resolution screen, while Xiao Xin 1080P. . .
There is a saying that Redmi is really not afraid of anyone in terms of cost performance. . .
If you dislike that the performance of MX450 graphics card with only two G's is not high enough and the budget is enough, then you can look at a laptop with light weight and performance.
Speaking of high-performance and lightweight books, Tony must recommend ROG Phantom Series to everyone.
Take magic 13 as an example. Although its screen size is only 13 inch, it has AMD R9 processor, GTX 1650 Max-Q graphics card, 16GB memory and 5 12GB solid state drive, but its weight and thickness are only 1.3kg and 65438+.
And it can be flipped 360 degrees, equipped with a touch screen, and the refresh rate is 120Hz. . .
With so many configurations crammed into such a small fuselage, Magic 13 can already be described as a small steel gun.
However, the price of 9999 yuan naturally went up. . .
If you want to sacrifice a little portability, you can also consider Magic 14. At the same price, the screen is upgraded to 2K resolution but can't be flipped, and the volume is slightly larger, in exchange for RTX 3050Ti graphics card and cool body lighting effect.
This configuration can play almost all mainstream games, and the size of the fuselage is not big, but the price has also come to the same 9999 yuan.
However, 10 thousand yuan is not the ceiling of the magic series. The price of magic 15 series with RTX 3070 graphics card is 14999 yuan. This is not recommended for the student party to buy. Of course, if you are not short of money, you can consider it.
And another high-performance lightweight book that Tony wants to recommend should be familiar to everyone, that is, MacBook Air.
The current MacBook Air is not the notebook of that year. Since using our own M 1 processor, the performance of MacBook Air has soared, and we can even hang our own MacBook Pro with Intel processor. . .
At the same time, MBA's battery life is also excellent. Tony took it to write articles on business trip, writing articles from 4 pm to 0 pm, playing music while opening Photoshop, and the power was still about 40%.
Moreover, its volume has not changed at all, and it is still quite thin. You can't see the difference between the M 1 version and the Intel processor version from the appearance comparison. All the changes are internal.
In terms of price, the lowest price of MacBook Air is 7999 yuan, while the preferential price for education is only 7 199 yuan. AirPods are also given, which can be said to be very affordable.
However, due to the macOS system, MacBook Air is not suitable for students who want to play PC games. Again, players should not buy Macs! ! !
And its scalability is very poor. There are only two Type-C interfaces and 3.5 mm headphone jack in the whole fuselage. If you don't need a patch cord and docking station, you can't even plug in a USB flash drive. . .
If you don't play games, then you must consider the MacBook Air with M 1 processor. This is a light and thin book with stable system, long battery life, strong performance and moderate price, which can be described as "really fragrant".
If you want to say to Tony, "Don't talk nonsense, I played games in college", then the next recommendation is pure game books, not portable, just performance.
The first recommendation is Lenovo rescuer R7000P, which is really cost-effective.
The entry-level model uses AMD R5-5600H processor and RTX 3050Ti graphics card, and has a high screen of 165Hz, and the price is only 6499 yuan.
However, this configuration has only 8GB of memory, so Tony suggests adding 500 blocks to the previous version of 16GB.
Similarly, the R7000P has a variety of configurations to choose from. If you configure 16GB memory, 1TB+5 12GB solid state drive, AMD R7-5800H processor and RTX 3060 graphics card, the official price will be tens of thousands, and poor friends can choose as appropriate.
In addition to R7000P, Tony also recommends R9000P series with better workmanship, which is superior in workmanship, materials and heat dissipation, but the price is about 1000 yuan higher.
For example, the same 3050Ti graphics card, after upgrading 8G memory and AMD Ruilong 7 5800H, the price of R9000P came to 7999 yuan, but it was acceptable.
R9000P has 3060 and 3070 graphics cards to choose from, but the price is naturally rising. This is also the budget and needs of poor friends, so I won't say much.
In fact, there are many choices of game books. In addition to the one recommended above, such as the classic Shenzhou Ares series, HP Shadow Elf 7 series can also be considered.
Shenzhou Ares Z8
These are some laptops recommended by Tony, but in addition to choosing laptops, Tony also wants to give some digital suggestions to prospective college students here.
For example, you can consider the configuration of the computer as appropriate and spend the extra money on buying more monitors, mice and mechanical keyboards. Such a daily experience is actually better than buying an expensive laptop alone.
If your dormitory is often electrified, you can also boldly assemble the desktop after learning about the lack of electricity in the dormitory, which Tony's college roommate really did.
In addition to computers, there are also mobile phones and tablets, and some majors have to buy cameras. These are all things you should consider.
But no one's money is blown by the wind. Unless you are rich, Tony still advises everyone to spend rationally and not to waste their parents' money.
Finally, Tony wishes all prospective college students can choose their favorite computers and start a new life on campus with satisfaction.
