A few days ago, geek's choice of the Spring Festival mobile phone purchase guide has received a lot of attention, considering that everyone's replacement needs may not be limited to mobile phones, but there are notebooks such as such a real productivity tool, so we have come today with notebook purchase recommendations.
In fact, the current notebook market, like mobile phones, are on the eve of the new and old generations, if it is not just needed, we will recommend that you wait until 618 to buy 12 generations of Core products of the same level, but as the saying goes, far water does not quench the thirst, many people must also have purchase needs at this stage, so we still recommend 5 models worth starting with this time.
As with the previous mobile phone purchase recommendation, this article will be divided by price range, and in each price range we will select 1 to 2 products worth buying, giving friends who want to buy a machine during the New Year some reference.
4000~5000 yuan
Compared with mobile phones, notebooks are not cheap digital products. Usually, 4000~ 5000 yuan can already buy a flagship machine, but the notebook can only choose the entry level. However, fortunately, after the mobile phone manufacturers entered the PC field, they played a great help in the hardware and experience of entry-level notebooks, so this time we recommended two products from mobile phone manufacturers at this price point.
RedmiBook Pro 14 Ryzen Edition
The RedmiBook Pro series is the mainstay of Xiaomi in 2021, it was released in February last year, followed by a hardware update in the middle of the year, and we recommend the Ryzen™ 5000 processor version released in the middle of the year.
In the early 4000 yuan price point, RedmiBook Pro 14 is the best quality product, it is made of CNC technology (the only price point), while enhancing the durability of the fuselage, but also provides a good aesthetics. In terms of configuration, the Ryzen™ 5000 processor and good performance release capabilities can make it easy to cope with various needs such as office and study. Finally, in terms of screen, it has a 2K resolution, 16:10 ratio of 100% sRGB high color gamut screen, which is also a very rare configuration in the 4000 price point.
Overall, the RedmiBook Pro 14 Ryzen Edition provides a leapfrog experience at a very entry-level price, which is the first choice for people with limited budgets, and for Xiaomi MIUI users, it is also the first choice for building a Xiaomi Internet ecosystem.
Realme Book Enhanced
Realme Book is a product that left a deep impression on me last year, in my understanding, although this notebook is nominally from the realme product, but in fact I prefer to use it as the first answer sheet handed over by the OGA Group in the notebook field.
In last year's review, what surprised me most about the realme Book was the super performance release ability, as well as the very luxurious heat dissipation specifications for thin and light books. It uses a 35W TDP Core standard voltage processor with a high color gamut screen in 3:2 ratio, which is ideal for professional and complex office scenes. In terms of color matching, realme Book also provides a rare turquoise version, which is more eye-catching in appearance and much more brilliant than a lot of silver-gray notebooks.
In terms of battery capacity, fingerprint recognition, ecological interconnection, Thunderbolt 4 and other peripheral configurations, realme Book also has a good performance, but the only regret is that there is only 1 USB-A interface.
5000~ 6000 yuan
Notebooks of 5000 to 6000 yuan are considered to be mid-range advanced choices, and they tend to have better workmanship, better design, more powerful peripheral functions and so on compared to entry-level products. In this price segment, Lenovo's product matrix is the most comprehensive, so we chose it as a recommended product. In addition, there is also a product from a mobile phone manufacturer.
Lenovo YOGA 14s Core Solo Edition
In lenovo thin and light, the YOGA series is more inclined to the sense of design and quality, and yoga 14s is like this.
Yoga 14s is a very balanced thin and light book, in terms of performance, it uses an 11th generation Core standard voltage processor, the highest power consumption of 35W, and in the exclusive display is equipped with a maximum power consumption of 28.5W full blood MX450, the combination of the two, is a very comprehensive combination of all-rounder. The screen is the highlight of yoga 14s, which introduces a high brush screen of 90Hz, 400 nits brightness, and a resolution of 2.8K, using a 16:10 ratio. In addition, a larger trackpad can also make for a good experience. 、
The disadvantages of yoga 14s are also obvious, with only one USB-A interface and two Thunderbolt 4, and it may not be very convenient to connect peripherals.
Honor MagicBook V14 core graphics
Honor MagicBook V14 is the most high-end product of honor thin and light book, configuration, MagicBook V14 uses 11 generation standard pressure Core processor, performance release is very aggressive, in the face of office needs more than enough, it should be noted that this notebook is more recommended for the nuclear version, not only excellent cost performance, heat dissipation ability is also stronger.
In addition to the basic configuration and performance, the MagicBook V14 also has many features considered for business office scenarios. For example, it uses a 3:2 ratio touch screen, has the highest quality of 5 million pixels in the notebook field "dual camera", and also adds a commonly used HDMI interface.
In addition, the 4-microphone + 4-speaker configuration also makes it excellent in video conferencing and audio-visual experiences. Finally, it is worth mentioning that the MagicBook V 14 uses the same interconnection ecosystem as Huawei PC, and if you are a Huawei user, it must be a good choice.
6000~7000 yuan
6000 ~ 7000 price segment products, is the mainstream choice of some more pursuing users, this type of product, in addition to the basic performance and process level, the brand image is also more important. However, we mentioned at the beginning that at this stage in the period of new and old replacement, if you plan to spend more than 6,000 yuan to change the machine, it is actually not very cost-effective, some "49 years into the national army" meaning, but even so, we still found a model worth buying.
Apple M1 MacBook Air
After more than a year, the MacBook Air with the M1 chip has dropped to the price of more than 6,000 yuan, and on some second-hand platforms, you can even buy it for about 5500 yuan, which is simply full of aroma.
Mac is very suitable for text workers and designers, its system software ecology and operation logic are very simple, it is easy to get started for Xiaobai, and from the perspective of service life, Mac is far stronger than the same level of Windows notebooks. In addition, the M1 chip also gives it super performance and long endurance, at the same time, the mold itself also has exquisite workmanship and thin body, and there is no design of Bang Haiping.
In my personal opinion, this should be the most cost-effective MacBook for a long time to come, of course, the new design that will be released this year MacBook Air is powerful, but its price will certainly make many people prohibitive, so if you look for a Mac but the budget is relatively limited, the M1 MacBook Air must be the best choice.
