1. Determine the budget
The first and most important factor is to consider and determine your own purchase budget. College students generally have no economic income, so they should buy laptops according to actual needs, and don't pursue too luxurious configurations. When choosing, we should determine the budget according to our own economic conditions and actual use needs, and do what we can.
At present, the price of notebook computers ranges from several thousand yuan to ten thousand yuan. The higher the price, the better the configuration, but not everyone needs a very high-end configuration. Notebooks with a price of more than 4,000 yuan can basically meet daily needs. If you are majoring in drawing and machinery, the budget will be higher, with a budget of at least 5,000 yuan.
Choose a brand
Unlike DIY assembly where desktop computers can buy accessories freely, notebook computers can only buy the whole machine, so their purchasing ideas are different from those of desktop computers. For notebook computers, the second important factor to consider is the brand. Good brands are often reliable in quality and provide after-sales service, which will save a lot of trouble in the future.
At present, the mainstream notebook computer brands in the domestic market are ASUS, Lenovo, Xiaomi and Huawei. Understand carefully and choose according to your own preferences.
3. Select the configuration
CPU processor, which is the most critical component to determine the performance of notebook computers. Generally speaking, there are two series of notebook processors: Intel and AMD. When choosing a CPU, be careful not to pursue a high-end processor, and choose a stable, practical processor that can meet your own needs. Notebooks equipped with 12 generation Core and Ryzen5800H processor are preferred.
Graphics card is one of the cores of notebook computer, which determines the graphics and entertainment performance of notebook computer. If the use scenario is just daily office, web browsing and video playback, then choose a laptop with verification. If the requirements are higher, consider a laptop with a discrete graphics card.
If you want to play games, edit videos or run high-load programs such as 3D model rendering, it is very necessary to choose a powerful graphics card, at least one with RTX3060 or above, and of course the price is much more expensive.
Memory, memory is also very important to ensure the stability and fluency of application software. So when buying a notebook, the memory capacity is also very important. Generally speaking, the standard memory of a notebook is about 16GB, which is enough for daily use.
