My Confusion About Laptop Somebody Help by samwriter: 6:54pm On Sep 12, 2021 |
Everything about laptop is confusing me even google add to my confusion. I cant differentiate between regular laptop and gaming laptop.I went to google to know the diffrent. I saw core i7 and core i5 is better than core i3 but why is core i3 costly than some core i7 and core i5 and why is some core i7 and i5 has the same dual core with i3 and why is some core i3 can play more demanding game than core i7 and i5. i thought core i5 and i7 should be better than core i3 in everything but why is it not like that. How do i know flagship and midrange laptop? Can core 2 laptop when add with dedicated graphic card play demanding game and out perform core i7? How do i know a gaming laptop? 1 Like 1 Share |

Core alone doesn't determine a laptop. You have to consider the type or drive (HDD or ssd). The ram Processor speed Keyboard light Touchscreen Finger print Dedicated graphics 31 Likes 2 Shares |

possibilita: Also, The generation matters ... You can't compare 7th generation laptops that's cori3 with 4th generation cori7... because the 7th generation is superior in functionability to 4th generation with cor or no cor bullshitt... Is that clear? 21 Likes 1 Share |

samwriter:First of all, you need to know about the CPU generation. To get a clear view. Compare the i3, i5, i7, first generation CPUs. Also read about CPU code names. Like meaning of HQ, MQ, U, K etc. You will get a clear understanding about this. 6 Likes 1 Share |

samwriter: Alright. General overview. Desktop/laptop PCs run on x86-64. It's a type CPU design. The better the design, the more powerful the CPU. The two main CPU makers for PC are Intel and AMD. Every PC you see uses a CPU from one of these two. I'll start with Intel but wait, my rice dey burn. 16 Likes 1 Share |

Oya ayam back... Intel CPUs are widely used on many desktops. So when we classify tech generally, you have 1. Entry level (the cheapest of the cheap). This level has very low specs and very low performance. Them dey useless for anything that is more serious than typing or watching film. 2. Midrange/performance level. This level is the standard level. It balances decent performance with pricing. It is not cheap, but it is also not too expensive. At least, you no need cut your liver to buy one. 3. High end/Flagship. This level has the best CPUs. The very very best. The most powerful and also the most expensive. To buy these ones, omo you need tight belt reach end. So now that we're done, let's look at Intel's CPUs Entry level Intel Celeron Intel Core 2 Duo Intel Pentium Midrange Intel Core i3 Performance/Upper midrange Intel Core i5 Flagship Intel Core i7 Intel Core i9 Extreme 43 Likes 5 Shares |

The next one na AMD. I'm not very well versed with AMD processors sha but I like the Ryzen series a lot. On AMD we have.. Entry level Ryzen 3 Ryzen 3 Pro Midrange Ryzen 5 Ryzen 5 Pro Performance Ryzen 7 Ryzen 7 Pro Flagship Ryzen 9 Ryzen 9 Pro Ryzen Threadripper The CPU for the playstation 5 is an AMD CPU. No ask me which one. 2 Likes |

Another funny thing is, Windows 8 couldn't recognize the AMD GPU. It's either Lenovo or Lenovo again, theyake performance laptop at affordable price, though with ugly body. 6 Likes |

Taking it further from where Oga atheistproud paused, the Random Access Memory type and size play a big role too. You know RAM stores temporary data for the CPU to process. So if the RAM is not big enough(size) as well as not fast (type;ddr3/ddr4) it will slow down your laptop; or we rather say the small sized rams and slower ones are placed in low end laptops. 8 Likes |

Re: My Confusion About Laptop Somebody Help by atheistandproud(m): 8:50pm On Sep 12, 2021 |
In continuation from where Exumal stopped... The CPUs have different years of release. These all have different CPU build architecture so they all perform different. The newer than CPU, the better. On Intel, they are called generations. You have generation 1 to 12 (*updated) On AMD, they are known as series. You have series 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000. Now if you remember the list I earlier mentioned, the generations or series are more important than the brand names. Take note!!! A Core i3 10th generation CPU go beat a Core i7 first generation. An AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 5000 series is better than an AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 1000 series. Some of these people that sell PCs are crooks. They'll tell you the name of the CPU but won't put the generation. Always ask for the generation. 28 Likes 2 Shares |

RAM....He will talk more on it Storage type....(SSD/HDD/SATA) Cooling system OS...(comparability and update) Power consumption......(though OS, CPU and GPU does that) Availability of Drivers Sound system (especially for gamers) Extra hardware functions (fingerprint, wifi, webcam,body works, ) 5 Likes |
