Gaming laptops:
The game laptops was first released by aliens and MSI, and it sparked a lot of enthusiasm among gamers in the 1990s. At present, gaming laptops are extremely popular in the laptop market, with almost every major manufacturer launching specialized gaming laptop series to seize the market.
There is actually no standard for judging a gaming laptop, and there are no hard requirements for its configuration, so many manufacturers dare to call it a gaming laptop with an i5 CPU and a GTX1050 graphics card. But for professional gamers, this configuration is completely unqualified, but it can also coax many novices, which can be considered as a marketing tactic of the manufacturer. According to unwritten market regulations, gaming laptops must be able to run mainstream large-scale online games smoothly, maintain long-term gameplay without lag and performance degradation, and temperature must be controlled within hardware safety limits.
In summary, the characteristics of gaming laptops are top-notch configuration, excellent heat dissipation control technology, bulky or bulky appearance, poor battery life, and most importantly, extremely high price.
Ultrabook:
Ultrabooks are a new laptop category launched by Intel, aimed at competing with iPads and Android tablets. It combines PC performance with tablet portability, has a lightweight and stylish appearance, adopts an alloy shell, pursues ultimate lightweight design, but sacrifices some interfaces. To ensure battery life and heat dissipation, ultrabooks often use low-voltage CPUs, solid-state drives, and abandon independent graphics cards. Its features include a metal casing, lightweight design (thickness<20mm, weight<2KG), long battery life (>6 hours), and a small screen (≤ 14 inches).
Student laptops:
Student laptops are mainly aimed at the student community, which is characterized by limited budget but high requirements for laptop configuration and performance, while also pursuing fashion.
So the characteristic of student laptops is to use mainstream configurations in several core components that affect performance, such as CPU, memory, graphics card, etc. At the same time, in order to ensure cost and cost-effectiveness, only lower end products can be used in some unimportant configurations. For example, mechanical hard drives are used for hard drives, and TN screens are used for screens. The shell is generally made of composite materials, which are much cheaper than metal shells, and have better texture and visual effects than ordinary plastic shells.
The characteristic of a student notebook is its mid-range configuration, which can meet the needs of the vast majority of games, even large-scale games, and can barely run without special effects. The appearance is more fashionable and personalized, without pursuing battery life or thinness, and the cost-effectiveness is the highest among all types of laptops.
Business laptops:
Business laptops are exactly the opposite of student laptops. Business laptops do not pursue fashion in appearance, but rather aim to embody stability and grandeur. The laptop is mainly designed for business applications, so office properties are the top priority factor to consider.
Business laptops are usually equipped with relatively high CPUs and memory, with only mid to low end discrete graphics cards or even no discrete graphics cards. Hard drives are usually mixed with solid-state drives and mechanical hard drives.
The characteristics of a business notebook are high-end or above configuration, powerful business office performance, long battery life, and a stable and atmospheric appearance.
2in1 computer:
2-in-1 computer can actually be considered a laptop or a tablet. The main hardware configuration of a regular laptop is located under the keyboard, while a 2-in-1 computer is located under the screen. The screen and keyboard can be disassembled, and the screen part is the host. After disassembling the keyboard, the screen can be used as a tablet computer.
In terms of configuration, 2-in-1 computers come in all levels from entry-level to top of the line, but they all have a common feature, similar to ultrabooks, where the CPU uses a low-voltage version with a U suffix. In terms of memory, there are options ranging from 2GB entry-level to 32GB top of the line, but even the top of the line is almost only equipped with entry-level low-voltage discrete graphics cards. The vast majority of them do not come with dedicated graphics cards, and generally use core graphics cards.
The characteristic of a 2-in-1 computer is that with the addition of a keyboard, it can be used as a laptop, and with the removal of the keyboard, it can be used as a tablet. Generally, it adopts a metal shell and comes in configurations from entry-level to top of the line, but it uses a core graphics card or low-end discrete graphics card, resulting in poor gaming performance. However, the heat dissipation is good, the battery life is also good, and the appearance is generally quite fashionable.
Netbooks:
Netbooks became popular between 2005 and 2010 due to their high prices, specifically designed for low-income individuals with entry-level configurations and a simple appearance. At that time, the performance was limited, only meeting basic internet, office, and entertainment needs, but the speed was slower. Nowadays, large manufacturers are rarely involved, and counterfeit manufacturers still produce them. Technological advancements have enhanced their functionality, making them suitable for non heavy users. The price remains within 3000 yuan, earning them the nickname "Zhaiban" by netizens. However, in reality, they offer high cost-effectiveness and are suitable for video watching and listening to music.
