How to choose a netbook - criteria that you should pay attention to

When choosing a netbook, first of all you should pay attention to the following specifications:

1. The amount of RAM. Determines the performance of the computer when performing several tasks at once - for example, when working on the Internet. The minimum "viable" amount of RAM in 2024 for a netbook running the Windows 7 operating system or newer is 2 GB;

2. The amount of internal storage. Determines the amount of data that can be stored in a netbook. Modern ultraportable laptops can be equipped with very small internal drives - 32 GB or more. If you do not plan to store anything in the netbook, you can purchase a model with such a disk. But in order to keep personal data in a computer, you need a device with a full HDD of 250 GB or more;

3. Type of internal drive. It depends on the download speed, wake and netbook work. HDDs usually have relatively low performance, but are inexpensive (in terms of price per gigabyte of data). SSD hard drives are very fast, but they are expensive. Flash memory is fast, inexpensive, but has a small amount;

4. CPU generation. Since there is no reason to expect a netbook performance, the specific technical characteristics of the chip (number of cores, computing threads, clock frequency) do not matter much. Instead, you should pay attention to the power consumption and the heating rate of the processor. And they, in turn, are directly related to the generation of the chip. The "fresher" it is, the better;

5. Battery life The higher it is, the better. Modern netbooks show autonomy of about 8-10 hours, which allows you to take them with you to work, leaving the charger at home.

6. If necessary, you can pay attention to other technical characteristics, such as diagonal and screen resolution, the presence of a touch screen design (classic laptop or transformer), etc.

Which company’s netbook

When choosing a netbook on the Windows operating system, you should pay attention primarily to products from the "big five" - ​​Dell, Asus, Lenovo, Acer and HP. Is that the company Lenovo now produces ultraportable computers exclusively from the Yoga series - expensive and hybrid.

In addition, netbooks are in the model range of Apple. However, they belong to the top price range.

All these companies produce reliable and productive mobile computers. In addition, they have authorized service centers throughout Russia, which is also an advantage.
