How to choose a computer? In the second half of every year, computer merchants try their best to compete for the "Golden Nine and Silver Ten" because this period is the peak period for students to purchase laptops. Today I will sort out the notebook purchasing strategy for the reference of friends who need it. Because most students now buy laptops directly, you can agree that what I said below also applies to desktop computers.
How to choose a laptop
1. Choose the notebook configuration according to your needs
Simply put, if it is computer, mathematics, art design, architectural design, and mechanical design, the configuration requirements are higher, such as large computer database systems, mathematics Matlab software, 3D art and design, CAD systems for architectural design and mechanical design are relatively resource-intensive. Therefore, when purchasing a laptop, you must consider whether the CPU, memory, and bus speed are higher (of course, they are not the most demanding). According to the needs of your major, Check the resource-consuming software requirements, just be slightly higher.
If you are studying liberal arts, the main purpose of buying a laptop is to surf the Internet, check information, use office software, watch movies, and listen to music, then the current standard The configured computer is enough.
If you are between the two, you are free to choose your preference. Especially for those students who like to play large-scale online games, the configuration requirements may be higher.
If you are a girl and do not have the need to play large-scale online games and the resource-consuming software mentioned above, there is another option. Nowadays, there are small-screen laptops on the market, including 10-inch laptops, which are compact and convenient to carry around in your bag.
Lenovo, Asus, and both have small-screen laptops
2. Determine the purchase price based on economic strength
If the economy is relatively loose, then the configuration will be slightly higher when purchasing. A little tilted for future scalability. If you are not financially well-off, you should make careful calculations, and then look at configurations and quotations online, and then go to the computer purchase market to shop around and then negotiate for a lower price. Basically, after shopping around in the computer markets in first- and second-tier cities, you can have a basic idea, because the stores are relatively saturated and the prices will not be too high. It would be good to bargain for 200-500 on the lowest price of several companies. Usually, if the price is between 2,000 and 4,000, you can basically cut it off by 200 yuan, and if the price is between 6,000 and 8,000, you can basically cut it off by 500 yuan. Merchants have a bottom line to make money, and it is impossible not to let them make money. If you want to cut it off, If there are too many, they will make trouble for you. We will talk about it later.
3. When comparing prices, be sure to look at the detailed model number of the notebook.
Everyone in the industry knows that the price gap for the same model is several times higher. For example, the lowest price of a Lenovo laptop model is around 3,000, and the highest price is more than 8,000. Many times when we consult, we only inquire about the large model, which is not possible. We must look at the detailed model. Even sometimes you see the same CPU data, the same memory data, and the same hard disk data, but there are still thousands of different computers. Because the same CPU may be dual-core or quad-core, the memory may be single or dual, dual-channel or not, and the hard drive may be divided into big-name and ordinary hard drives. Some high-configuration computer hard drives even have encrypted storage, shockproof, antimagnetic, etc. Extra functions, if we do not compare these parameters in detail, we may encounter package swaps - what we buy at a high price is only a low-end product of the same model.
4. Choose a laptop or a desktop
At the same price, the configuration of a desktop is much higher than that of a laptop. On the other hand, with the same configuration, the price of a desktop computer is much lower than that of a laptop. If you have a trustworthy market expert, you can get a very high configuration if you buy a desktop computer for less than 3,000. Of course, we outsiders cannot do it. We must be insiders, because only insiders can get the lowest prices on the market for various accessories. price. I am not saying these words to hope that everyone will buy a desktop computer, but I just have one more choice for friends who are not financially well-off. Everyone says that laptops are easy to hold, but they are also easy to lose. Desktops are inconvenient to move, but because they are relatively fixed, the stability of software and hardware is much better. In addition, for large-scale online game enthusiasts, desktop computers are still the first choice because they can get the most adequate configurations and the price is not very high.
5. Choose a big brand or a small brand?
Based on my personal experience, Dell and HP abroad are good; Lenovo and Fang in China are good.Right is fine.
Since Dell's machines are optional configurations, they are actually not as durable as HP's machines in many cases. Business machines generally choose the ones with the best stability. In foreign countries, Dell's market share is much lower than HP and IBM (previously). Samsung laptops are more expensive because they look good. Toshiba cannot get really good products in China (the Japanese always give the best things to Europe and the United States, and the worst things to China), and the price will be too expensive. Lenovo has a large brand, many repair outlets, and many beautiful color options. It is generally slightly more expensive than domestic machines such as Founder with the same configuration. Maybe it’s my own point of view, but I don’t recommend everyone to buy laptops from Shenzhou and Haier because the hardware failure rate is very high.
