1. What is CPU, RAM, SSD, GPU
1) CPU
CPU is about how fast a laptop. The point is, the faster the computation, the faster it goes. So, it is one of the most important factors when choose a laptop.
How to choose CPU for laptop
Three categories is expensive, medium, and cheap. For example, there are Intel Core i9, i7, i5, i3.
It’s not a bad choice i3 for student and simple work because the i3 also comes out surprisingly well (Document work, Internet, watching drama, homework, simple office work). I recommend the i5 if you’re buying it for the game as a hobby. It’s faster than the i3. If you want to put more gaming performance in the game, i7 is recommend. If you want better performance, I recommend the i9.
Apple M1 & Intel Core & AMD Ryzen
Intel Core was originally representative brand of CPU, but now it is becoming a CPU war with M1 and AMD Ryzen. M1 is famous for its good performance in creating creative works of photography, drawing, and video work. And for users who are still familiar with Windows, who work on documents, watch videos, or create creations, Intel’s i9, i7,i5, i3. And AMD Ryzen 9,7,5 are in competition. As many big companies compete like this, users can use better features.
2) RAM
CPU is about how fast it laptop, and RAM is about how much it can accept. For example, if your laptop is only capable of 10, but if you do more than 20 tasks, you will see a blue screen.
How to choose Ram for laptop
RAM is usually 64gb, 32gb, 16gb, 8gb, 4gb. Among them, 16gb and 8gb are recommend for student and watching. 8gb is enough for simple tasks such as document work, watching dramas or movies, shopping online, etc. 16 GB is for gaming, high-performance work, and 32 GB for professionals. And 64gb is good for graphic design people. If you do photo or video work, web design, etc., it will help you get the job you want quickly.
3) HDD / SSD
HDD / SSD is the size of storage space. If you think about it simply, it will be easier to understand if you think of the floppy disks you used when you were young. In a nutshell, it’s about how much storage space you want to buy.
I recommend SSD that are small and perform fast tasks. The SSD also serves as a physical storage space and also serves as a way for the computer to work quickly. It’s a small and fast SSD. So the difference between having an SSD and not having an SSD in a laptop is really important. Also, You can add an SSD if you need storage space.
How to choose SSD for laptop
There are 1 TB, 512 GB, 256 GB, 128 GB, and 512 GB and 256 GB are generally recommend for laptops. In general, 256 GB is enough for a laptop. If you need more space, 512 is good for laptop. And 1tb is recommend for desktop.
4) GPU
GPU is hardware about how well it can perform fancy graphics calculations. And there are 3 types of GPU from expensive to medium, cheap. And TI is that there is a little more storage space to handle graphics processing.
How to choose GPU for laptop
Expensive ones are for high-end games or professionals, medium ones are for games, and cheap ones are good for documents, watching videos, and online shopping tasks.
2022 GPU: AMD GENOVA Coming soon

Choose the size of the screen
Let me give you an example of how we can get a computer at a good price. First, choose the size of the screen. Popular sizes are 13, 14 and 15.6-inch, 17 inches.
The 13-inch size is small, so it’s good for portability. Personally, my eyes hurt after using the 13 inch for a long time. I think it’s because I have to keep my eyes focused on the small screen. A monitor is essential when using a 13-inch laptop.
And the screen size is 15.6-inch, and it is easy to read and view, so the eyes are less tired. The 17 inch can be use like a desktop. It is good for people who work on documents for a long time on a wide screen or who want to watch videos on a big screen.
Compare performance and price to buy a laptop
E.g, If A high brand laptop is an i7, ram 8gb, SSD 256gb, graphic 1060 sells $1600 in this way, and another mid-low price brand sells for$1200 with the same function, you can choose it at the $1200 level. It may be a little more expensive because of the brand value.
In this way, you can purchase from Best Buy or Amazon more easily according to your purpose. Black Friday of 2021 has begun. You can buy a laptop with good performance in a discount at this time at Best Buy and Amazon. Also, when using a laptop, you can reduce neck and back pain by using a stand.
