For small partners who want to buy thin and light books, with the listing of the 12th generation of Core light and thin books, it is now very easy to buy a notebook with the right price and good performance. But then it seems to have encountered a new situation, how should so many notebooks be chosen? And it is similar to the situation encountered in the later stage of the 11th generation notebook, and now the light and thin books are actually used in the standard voltage and low voltage specifications of the processor, so which should be the main one when purchasing? In fact, as long as you look at the product characteristics of different notebooks, you probably have the answer.
Take the current popular model as an example, ThinkBook 14+ This notebook should be regarded as a thin and light book, this notebook directly uses the standard pressure Core i5-12500H processor, which is very cost-effective. Another notebook that is on sale, the Acer Extraordinary S3 2022 model, uses a Core i5-1240P processor, which is a representative of low-voltage thin and light books. There are some similar situations, such as the standard pressure light and thin book has Asus Peerless Pro, and the low pressure light and thin book has the Dell Lingyue Pro14-5420, it seems that each camp has a product worth talking about.
Some small partners may choose to use price to distinguish products, but in fact, the price difference is not obvious. The ThinkBook 14+ is indeed a bit more expensive, $4,999, while the Acer S3 2022 is $4,299. But this is also because the other specifications of the two are completely different, after all, the display alone has a big difference, and as is the case when Asus meets Dell. But is this specification difference and spread inevitable? It can only be said that this is the case at present, and the low-pressure book will indeed be slightly cheaper by a few hundred pieces, and some specifications are also slightly lower.
In fact, from the specifications of the processor, Core i5-12500H and Core i5-1240P belong to the H45 and U28 series, respectively, 45W and 28W two different power consumption CPU, it is not difficult to see that some of them are overlapping, and the specification difference that can be seen is only the frequency. Although it is not yet known how the 12th generation Of Core is, the standard and low-pressure versions of the 11th Generation Core are actually about 15% different in performance, although it looks obvious, but considering the use environment of the thin and light book, it is often difficult to perceive.
For notebook brands, different CPUs may mean different collocation logic. For example, ThinkBook 14+ has a version with RTX2050 solo display, which is a high-specification solo display, which can well support video editing, content creation, etc., and even play games. If it is a low-voltage book, the future with the unique version may be MX550, MX570. In fact, in addition to further bringing difficulties in choosing, it feels like it has little significance, after all, it is a thin and light book.
Speaking of this, in fact, the purchase of thin and light can completely ignore the specifications of the CPU. After all, even the Core i5-1240P, a product with only 28W TDP, can already crush the 11th generation of standard pressure processors, and the purchase of 12 generation standard pressure Core is only the icing on the cake. Instead of focusing on this aspect, it is better to see whether the notebook's screen, unique specifications, memory, etc. meet their own requirements, as well as the notebook's thermal endurance, appearance value, etc., which are more meaningful than the CPU, and it is easier to affect the experience. Perhaps, the pursuit of a high-specification CPU, in 2022 is more to meet their own psychological needs.
