We treat these minimal specifications so that you get the maximum user experience even if you don't use a high-end processor. We don't really recommend buying a laptop with a Celeron/Pentium/Athlon processor if you need this laptop for office work.

Even though it looks trivial, later when you need super-fast multitasking, you will feel the difference, between a laptop powered by Celeron/Pentium/Athlon and a laptop powered by at least Intel i3 Gen 10/11 or Ryzen 3 Gen 3/4.

However, if you buy a new laptop for the purposes of playing high-end games, or FPS games or other triple A games. We advise you to buy a new laptop with a minimum i5 Gen 10/11 or Ryzen 5 Gen 3/4 processor, of course, equipped with a reliable GPU and maximum RAM.

Select the GPU as needed

If you are a gamer with a need to play games that require high-end specifications, please look for a laptop with the latest and best GPU options. For example like NVidia RTX series or Radeon RX Series. This also applies to you as a content creator, yes, because a qualified GPU will help laptop performance in rendering your content.

If you only need a laptop for light work, a mid-range NVIDIA or Radeon VGA will be enough for you, or an on-board VGA can be considered.

Maximize RAM on laptops

Every time you buy a new laptop, make sure you always maximize its RAM capacity. This can help your laptop's performance become faster and more responsive in terms of multitasking, or improve your laptop's overall performance.

Make sure the RAM speed that you buy is maximum and suitable for your laptop. This can help so that your laptop has maximum performance, and is not a bottleneck.

Choose the best screen for your eyes

The best screen is the one that suits your needs, is the screen that suits you the IPS/TN/VA screen?

For example, IPS screens, this technology is very suitable for those of you who work in the field of graphic design or use other applications that require consistent and accurate color reproduction.

Then for example the TN panel, is a panel that offers response time the best. This panel is suitable for you gamers who like to play games fast paced who are very concerned about speed like FPS games. However, for the matter of color accuracy, contrast ratio, and viewing angleit is the worst compared to other LCD technologies.

So, which one is best for you? Only you can determine that.

Make sure your laptop has an SSD
