Office laptop / notebook purchase guide, browsing – opinions, impressions

You are looking for a laptop for office, office or browsing operations and you do not know which laptop would suit your needs. Now it’s time to find out together which laptop with excellent value for money suits you.

I know that nowadays the electronic market abounds in so many different models of laptops and many customers are put in the situation where they do not know what choice to make or make wrong choices when it comes to purchasing a particular device.

Today I will talk exclusively about choosing a laptop with a very good price / quality ratio for office / browsing and a little gaming.

I think the first question we can ask ourselves is what will my laptop be used for? And after this question we can see exactly which laptop / notebook would suit us.

What are the criteria for choosing a laptop?

An important criterion is given by the price. As a price margin, the prices for such a laptop should not exceed 3000 LEI.

Processor power. Well, for a laptop that will be generally used for office, browsing and light gaming then a 2-core laptop an Intel Core i3 is enough for you. Remember also the architecture on which the processor is built. Starting with Kaby Lake would be great for good results. Of course you can also opt for a laptop with 4 cores. That’s up to everyone.
RAM

RAM plays a very important role for any device. So whether we are talking about PCs, laptops, mobile phones, tablets, RAM is a very important component.


What is RAM? (Random Access Memory);

RAM is where the computer’s microprocessor reads and processes data. RAM is internal memory that can be accessed directly by the microprocessor. Any program or file we work with on the computer is first (at least partially) loaded from the HDD (hard disk drive) into RAM. So a minimum of 4GB is common sense for those cadres not playing are not gamers and only use the PC for writing and surfing the internet.

For those unfamiliar with how much RAM you choose from DDR4 upwards you have a higher frequency memory.

HDD or SSD?

Never opt for a normal HDD (at least on a laptop). Otherwise you will go crazy with the low loading speed of the operating system and the commands you give. Always choose an SSD. An SSD is a very fast Solid State Drive (a storage medium with new technology). The loading and operation of the operating system as well as the multitasking operations that will be performed on this laptop and the waiting times will be greatly reduced. As for storage capacity, it is irrelevant. I consider that 256 GB are enough for those who do not have to store movies, music games and use their laptop only in the office. But I must repeat an SSD.
Is the brand relevant?

The brand is not relevant. I would continue to choose and urge others to focus on famous brands like Lenovo, HP, Acer, ASUS, Dell, MSI. This way you have a security when you buy a laptop and the guarantee that in case you have problems with it you will be covered by it in the services here.

Let’s also discuss pre-installed operating systems. I would always opt for a laptop without an operating system or at best a Linux that I would remove in 2 seconds anyway.

Now it depends on each person. Laptops that come with operating systems like Windows 10 have slightly weaker components to offset the price paid on the Windows license. So is it worth a laptop with a pre-installed Windows 10? There are licenses for Windows 10 Pro and at 20, 30 LEI.

So what do we have to remember in the end. A laptop that will use us for the office environment and internet browsing is a laptop that does not have top performance and the most sophisticated components. We have presented above the things we need to pay attention to when we want to buy a laptop. As a price range. Between 1500 and 3000 LEI but not more than 3000 LEI for such a laptop.

Watch out for brands that are not famous. Maybe a laptop would take your eyes off such a design, but when you get it home it will be a disaster. Be careful with the laptops you order new (sealed) and are actually resealed.
