Выбрать подходящий ноутбук стало довольно трудно due to the complexity of its hardware stuffing. If before all the processors were single-core, you could safely choose the laptop with the highest clock speed.
Та или иная составляющая может играть решающую role in performance. For example, if a PC has to withstand as much time as possible without recharging, then the processor must also be energy efficient. Often, manufacturers sound “flashy” parameters like high RAM, “forgetting” to say that the device lasts without recharging for a maximum of 3 hours.
To not fall for this (and many others)tricks, it is better to understand a little the range of modern laptops than to be disappointed in the purchase in the future. And the simplest task is to study the performance of the processors. The table, which will be presented below, will clearly show the line of Intel processors, their main advantages and disadvantages. However, the advantages and disadvantages of this or that processor will be easier to see in a “live” example of several popular models, typical representatives of one or another user category.
"Notebook and Immortals" Intel Atom
A popular solution for journalists and writersseeking inspiration outside the walls of the house (which means far from the sources of recharging) is equipment with an integrated Intel Atom microprocessor. Such a processor is more common in the architecture of laptops and netbooks and is leading in terms of power consumption due to low requirements for heat sink. So, the Eee PC X101CH model can work 5 hours at an average load. When the screen brightness is reduced and software is used to optimize power consumption, the period increases to 8-9 (!) Hours. The given example is typical, characterizing the energy-efficient performance of processors. A table with detailed data on working without recharging individually for each model is published on the manufacturer's website.
Office and Gambling Battle Intel Core i3
A great find for home and office areNotebook models based on Intel Core i3. Such dual-core processors can fully support the implementation of several simple tasks at the same time: viewing photos, surfing and undemanding to the hardware stuffing arcade. That is why they are a popular solution for working with office applications at work and a full-fledged multimedia center - at home. The performance of Intel processors for non-processing needs of capacitive graphics data is typically limited to the i3 series.
Space scale and war. Intel Core i5 and i7
Lovers of online battles and 3D games is dedicated to ...
For those who are used to multitasking and working withhigh graphics, the best option is a gaming machine based on one of the processors of the i5 or i7 series. Many can argue, saying that the i7 line is more productive, but such a capacitive expensive processor does not justify the investment. Such performance of notebook processors is often simply not necessary, since their mobility is not justified: they are very energy-intensive and quickly discharge a laptop. Meanwhile, it is an excellent solution for business and IT due to high performance and, most importantly, mobility of a device with this data.
Processor Performance: a table of basic user characteristics
| Intel® processor | Benefits | disadvantages |
| Atom | Cheap, quick start up, energy efficient | Poor performance |
| Core i3 | Relative cheapness, integration with popular applications and old games | Not enough high performance to work with productive applications |
| Core i5 | High performance, multitasking, the ability to work with resource-intensive games | Higher price, low energy efficiency device |
| Core i7 | High performance, updating the device for several years ahead | High price |
It should be repeated that the technical featuresThis or that device based on the processor of a certain line may differ, but the information popularized by the manufacturer for the average user looks like this.
