Are you undecided whether or not to switch to a laptop from your desktop? Or do you just need a new computer but don’t know which one to choose? Let me solve your doubts
If you have ended up on this article it is probably because you would like to buy a laptop, however, surfing the internet you have noticed that there are substantial price differences between the various PCs but you do not understand why. And this is where I come in, now I will explain to you what are the main differences between the most expensive laptops and the cheapest ones to understand which are the best laptops for your needs.
Differences expensive laptops and cheap laptops
There are several things to take into account when it comes to the price of a laptop, let’s see what they are together.
Processor (CPU)
The processor plays a major role in the price of a computer. In fact, the processor is the heart of the PC and is the most important component. The faster the processor, the faster the computer will respond to commands.
A laptop with a poor processor will obviously cost much less than a laptop with a strong processor. It is the first thing you must look at to avoid buying something that does not exceed expectations. To find out which processor is more powerful you will have to look at the speed, which is often written in GHz, and the cores, in fact the more cores there are, the more powerful it will be.
To understand which laptop to get by looking at the processor, you have to understand what you have to use it for, if you have to use it for very heavy things to process then you will have to spend more.
Available space (Hard disk or SSD)
Available space is also one of the most important things to look out for when buying a new PC.
Space is one of those things that makes the price of the laptop fluctuate the most. This depends on the presence of a hard drive that is not very fast but is able to hold more space, or an SSD that is much faster, although it may contain less space.
If we only use the laptop to surf the internet it makes no sense to spend more to have more space. On the contrary, if you have to use it for heavy work or for playing, you will need much more space.
Screen or display
The PC screen is probably the thing that makes the price difference between different laptops feel the most. There are now different types of screens and the quality varies from one to the other.
The resolution of today’s PC displays is usually 1920 x 1080 pixels, which is a Full HD (FHD) resolution. The most powerful PCs, on the other hand, have a resolution of 2560 x 1440 (QHD) or 3840 x 2160 (UHD or 4K). Another thing to look at in the screen is the refresh rate, which is 60 Hz in the low-end ones, 144 Hz in the mid-range ones, and 240 Hz in the high-end ones.
Obviously a PC with a higher quality display will always cost more than a PC with a medium or low quality display.
Graphics card (GPU)
The graphics card is also very important when it comes to pricing. Many PCs are equipped with a processor with an already integrated graphics card.
The problem is that it’s not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card, so it will definitely cost less. Also in this case you have to understand what you need the PC for, because if you have to use it only for the internet, or for jobs that do not need a lot of graphics power then the integrated one will be fine.
If, on the other hand, you need it for video games or to do important graphics work, then you will need a dedicated graphics card. This of course will go a long way in increasing the price of the laptop.
Be well informed before buying
I hope I have filled all your doubts and helped you choose a good laptop. Remember that before buying one, you should understand the use you need to make of it. There is no point in buying a high-end laptop if you only need to surf the internet and obviously if you need a lot of power there is no point in buying a low-end one.
