1, bring a laptop directly without a desktop. 2. Although the performance of desktop is better than that of notebook, the notebook at this stage can meet the common needs. 3. Generally, the dormitory space in colleges and universities is not too big, and the desktop is too crowded for personal living space, so it is not necessary to bring a desktop.
The advantages of comparison between desktop and notebook are as follows: firstly, the performance of hardware is greatly surpassed, especially the two computing cores, CPU and GPU, because the limitations of size and power consumption are not so dead. Generally speaking, the i5 of the notebook can only reach the performance level of the i3 of the desktop, not to mention the graphics card. The invisible shackle of power consumption determines the performance of notebook CPU. Secondly, the screen of the notebook is also bruised. The mainstream 14 inch 1366X768 is not enough, but 15 inch 1080p is blind. In contrast, desktop 23-inch and 24-inch monitors are much better, and the point spacing of 0.26-0.27mm not only shows outstanding results, but also looks not too ugly. Although the notebook has its own keyboard and touchpad, the keyboard stroke is very short and there is no touch at all. 14 inch has no numeric keyboard, so the touchpad is far less convenient to use than the mouse. The author's classmates in college basically use another keyboard and mouse suit to connect and use. The size of the hard disk limits the overall capacity and performance. In terms of hard disk, the 2.5-inch hard disk of notebook is far less than the 3.5-inch hard disk used by desktop in transmission performance and capacity, which is simply unbearable for many download parties. Because of the size of the desktop, the heat dissipation is far better than that of the notebook. More than once, Bian Xiao encountered his classmate's computer being restarted because of overheating, and needed help. Moreover, after long-term use, the cooling system of the notebook is very easy to be blocked by dust, which eventually leads to the accumulation of heat in the computer. On the contrary, due to the large internal space, the desktop will not overheat and restart even if it is not cleaned for a long time.
Disadvantages of desktop and notebook comparison The main problem of desktop is naturally that it is very troublesome to move. For college students, the long vacation twice a year is the main problem. Laptops can be taken home for use during holidays, but desktops are usually more difficult, and no one should bother to bring them home in order to have them. After graduation, the disposal method is basically secondary school sale. Second, the desktop will be more troublesome to buy. After all, the most cost-effective DIY is not available to everyone, and the branded desktop is far less cost-effective than its own DIY. Finding someone who knows better is undoubtedly the best solution. The last one is that the desktop will be bigger. For some people with crowded dormitory space, adding a host computer may make the overall space more compact.
Professional use suggestion
Generally speaking, desktops are more suitable for students who already have a computer at home and pursue computer performance, especially some special majors, such as architecture and animation, which require higher computer performance.
Notebooks, on the other hand, are more suitable for students who need portability rather than performance. Bian Xiao strongly advises you not to rush to buy a computer before you go to college. You can go to school first and then observe the actual environment and experience the actual college life before buying. After all, you will regret it for 4 years if you buy it wrong.
