Choosing a notebook is not the simplest of tasks. The first thing to do is to find answers to the following questions: what do I need this equipment for, what is the main use it will have?
The notebook can be used for basic tasks such as studying, writing texts and accessing the internet. But, depending on the configuration, it offers tools that are compatible with jobs that require heavy software, demanding a lot from the machine.
There are those who still need a multipurpose computer: for studies, work and to run some games with more demanding graphics.
With this assessment in mind, the next step is to evaluate more technical items, such as the processor capacity, the amount of RAM memory (which helps with performance), the type and size of storage memory, battery and even the built-in technology on the screen.
Even simpler appliances can be cost-effective with sturdier internals. In the case of computers for games and work with demanding programs, the research needs to be even more thorough, because in this market, the price limit can go through the roof.
When discounts show up, it’s worth keeping your radar on. We took advantage of Black Friday 2021 to suggest some devices on offer.
Check out the list:
For simple tasks, studies and internet access
If your activities include simpler tasks like reading texts, creating spreadsheets or writing text files, you don’t need a notebook with a huge amount of RAM and data storage, for example. An average processor and a decent screen can meet your demand.
