DELL INSPIRON 5759

Rating: 4.9

Consider to begin with the most expensive laptop from those included in this collection from the world famous American technology giant DELL. The INSPIRON 5759 series includes a number of configurations that differ among themselves in many characteristics, including screen size. We describe one of the simplest - 6588, which "fits" into the category of budget cars.

The most noticeable, in every sense, in this laptop is the big screen with a diagonal of 17.3 inches. This is the very first and affected the dimensions of the laptop - 330 × 222 × 19 mm and partly on its weight - 2.83 kg. The body of this model and configuration is plastic, black. The screen is equipped with a budget-type matrix - TN with a rather modest resolution of 1600 × 900. The surface is glossy.

The computing center of the laptop is the Intel Core i5-6200U processor on the two cores of the sixth generation Skylake. Kernel frequency - 2.3 GHz, with Turbo-Boost-overclocking reaches 2.8 GHz. The volume of the L3 buffer is quite modest - 3MB.

The processor contains the Intel HD Graphics 520 graphics core with a nominal frequency of 300 MHz and overclocking capability up to 1 GHz. In addition to integrated graphics, this series can also be equipped with a discrete AMD Radeon R5 M335 card with 2 GB DDR3 memory.

The nominal amount of RAM - 8GB, memory type DDR3L-1600. If desired, you can pre-upgrade or re-package the memory on DDR4 (Skylake processors support it) with the possibility of increasing the volume to 16GB.

The storage subsystem is implemented as a single mechanical HDD with a capacity of 1 TB with a SATA600 interface. Also, the laptop contains a DVD-RW optical drive.

Communication capabilities are represented by wireless modules Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0., As well as a network adapter Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit / s).

Removable rechargeable battery with a capacity of 40 W · h (2660 mA · h) provides a very good autonomy. Independent testing has shown that the laptop holds a charge for more than 5 hours of continuous video viewing and more than 6 hours when working with text or viewing a photo. Recall, the screen of this laptop - more than 17 inches, so that such autonomy causes respect.

The interfaces and connectors in this series are as follows: on the left side - HDMI, RJ-454, power jack, memory card slot, one USB 3.0 port; on the right - the input-output for audio mini-jack, the hole of the security lock Noble, two USB 2.0 ports. USB ports of standards 3.0 and 2.0 do not differ in color, so you need to remember that 3.0 is located on the left.

ASUS Vivobook 17 X705MA

Rating: 4.8

The second number in our ranking, the best laptops up to 25,000 rubles, consider another model with a 17-inch screen. This will be the representative of the Vivobook laptop series from the Taiwanese manufacturer ASUS. With comparable specifications, this model is almost a quarter cheaper than the previous one.

This notebook in this particular configuration has much in common with the previous solution. We list the same characteristics: screen size 17.3 inches, TN-matrix with a resolution of 1600x900; one 1 TB hard drive with 5400 rpm spindle turning

The following discussion focuses on the individual characteristics of the laptop. Dimensions of the notebook are 411x270x22.6 mm, case material is matte plastic and gray metal, net weight is 2.1 kg. Unlike the previous model, here we see the matte surface of the screen, completely devoid of glare and "mirror effect".

The center of electronics is the Pentium N5000 processor on four Gemini Lake cores with a frequency of 1.1 GHz. Buffer capacity L2 - 4Mb. Uses high-performance DDR4 memory with a working frequency of 2133 MHz in a standard amount of 4 or 8 GB. The role of the graphics module performs integrated into the processor subsystem Intel UHD Graphics 600.

The set of interfaces here is slightly wider than the previous model: in addition to two USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 Type A, there is also an additional USB 3.0 Type-C. There are also “required” HDMI and a combined audio input / output. There is a slot for reading external flash memory cards and an outlet for connecting to a wired LAN.

For autonomy in this laptop meets the non-removable Li-Ion battery 42 Wh. The manufacturer promises a full charge of up to 12 hours of active work.

HP 15-bs000

Rating: 4.7

Further, in the ranking of the best laptops up to 25,000 rubles according to expert.bigbadmole.com/en/en/, we turn to a review of more compact models with a smaller screen diagonal and consider the 15-inch bs000 series laptop from Hewlett-Packard.

This series includes 12 different modifications with significant differences in key points affecting performance. We will consider a “gentle” package, but not the most minimal.

Dimensions of the device - 380x253.8x23.8 mm, net weight - 2.1 kg. Body material - plastic. A remarkable number of body colors to choose from - as many as nine for every taste from deep black to pure white, including golden. The resolution of the VA-matrix is ​​higher here than in both previous versions, despite the more compact dimensions - 1920x1080. The coating can be opaque or glossy, the effect on the price slightly.

The processor in the budget configuration can be Core i3 or i5 on two cores with a frequency of 1.6 GHz. You can minimize the price by installing a Celeron processor. RAM, respectively, can also be of two types - the older generation of DDR3 or newer and faster DDR4, in the case of compatibility with the type of processor; volume - 4 or 8GB.

As for the video subsystem, a whole range of variations is possible here, but if you need to "fit" into the total cost of the laptop less than 25,000 rubles, you will have to be content with the integrated Intel HD Graphics 405. The compromise option is a discrete AMD Radeon 520, but it will be a bit more expensive than the limit set by our rating.

The hard disk in a budget configuration will only fit a mechanical HDD with a capacity of 1GB. There is a technical possibility with a complete set of a pair of SSD + HDD, so that the laptop can be improved without problems later.

The device connects to networks via a Wi-Fi module or via a wire through a gigabit network card. There is also a Bluetooth 4.0 module. Other interfaces: USB 3.0 - 2 pcs., USB 2.0 - 1 pc., HDMI, 3.5 mm audio. External flash memory cards are supported, there is a drive for optical disks.

The lithium-polymer battery of 41 W · h of removable type should provide (according to the manufacturer) up to 11.75 hours of active work.

Acer Extensa EX2519

Rating: 4.6

Now consider a laptop from a company that has become one of the most recognizable among consumers of high-quality and for the most part inexpensive electronics. Various configurations are also available here, and all of them do not exceed the maximum set by our experts.

Laptop case dimensions - 381.6x256x26.1 mm, net weight - 2.4 kg. The material is black or gray plastic with a special texture for masking fingerprints. The screen size is the same as the previous model - 15.6 inches. TN matrix with a resolution of 1366x768 or 1920x1080 pixels. The screen surface is matte.

The central processor in this laptop was decided by developers to use the Intel Pentium N3710 on 4 Braswell cores with a frequency of 1.6 to 2.56 GHz. The maximum grade of RAM is 8GB DDR at 1600 MHz. Only one slot is allocated for memory. The video subsystem is the Intel HD Graphics 405 or Intel GMA HD integrated into the processor. The storage subsystem offers only one option - a mechanical HDD with a capacity of 500 GB. There is also a DVD +/- RW drive.

Interfaces for connecting to networks and peripherals are represented by the following set: 1 Gbit / s wired network card; wireless Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; USB 2.0 - 2 connectors; USB 3.0 Type A; HDMI; Combo jack for audio.

The autonomy of the work provides a lithium-ion battery of three cells with a total capacity of 3500 mAh. The time of active work (factory value) is 4.5 hours.
