When the machine brother brushes the comment area, you can always see the reply of Sauce Zi:
"Brother Ji, what about the notebook?"
"Let's recommend some thin and light books/game books/office books."
"There are too many parameters to understand, save the child!"
This is not what I said nonsense, I don't believe you see:
Although the topic of notebooks, Brother Ji usually doesn't talk much.
But since the friends want to see it so much, it must be arranged.
No way, who let me Wu Yanzu spoil you the most.
Of course, if the crew is interested in such dry goods.
Then interact more passionately with the machine brother.
Or at the end of the article, give a small like.
If friends around you need it, you can also share it with TA.
In short, let Brother Ji see your enthusiasm, okay?
When buying a notebook, configuration is key
As the saying goes, sharpen a knife and don't cut wood by mistake.
Before dumping the product, it is necessary for the machine brother to have a few words with you.
Buying a notebook is so different from buying a mobile phone.
Notebooks on the market are divided into "thin" and "performance", two different talent directions.
For the same price, the experience you can buy can be very different.
Not to mention buying Intel or AMD, N card or A card, core graphics or independent graphics...
These are simply "propositions" for Xiaobai.
So in 2023, what configuration should I choose to buy a notebook?
Boring parameters and comparisons, the machine brother helped you save it, directly on the conclusion:
In terms of processor, choose Intel for smelly games, and AMD for thin and light office;
In terms of graphics cards, as long as there are needs for games and rendering, there is no brainless rush N card.
Then comes the second question:
There are many models of processors and graphics cards, which one is more suitable?
For example, the following picture, is it a brain ache at a glance?
Don't panic, there is an almighty machine brother.
Let's start with the processor.
On Intel's side, in order of performance from high to low, representative products are:
i9-13980HX、i5-13500H 和 i5-1340P。
It corresponds to the needs of three levels: extreme performance, mainstream games, and thin and light books.
As for those 12th generation processors that are still on sale.
Except in special circumstances, such as price fractures.
Otherwise, the machine brother will always suggest: buy new instead of old.
AMD's side is the R9 7940HS, R7 7735HS and R7 7735U.
The first of these uses the latest "Zen 4" core and TSMC 4nm process.
It's worth buying for a high-end all-rounder that balances editing, design, and gaming.
For example, Loser's Eye Phantom 14 2023.
The appearance is beautiful, the performance is beautiful, and the price is too beautiful.
The remaining two models correspond to i5-13500H and i5-1340P, and their performance is small compared to Intel.
But if you pay attention to battery life, they are still very Yes drops.
What about the R9 7945HX, which represents the ultimate performance of the AMD camp?
Computers equipped with this processor are not yet available.
Judging from the news, although it has stacked a lot of cores, the performance is worth seeing.
But it also leads to a huge chip area, comparable to a desktop processor, power consumption and heat generation are temporarily a mystery, which needs to depend on the manufacturer's thermal design and tuning.
Out of consideration for being responsible for the operator, the machine brother will not blow this processor rashly.
Other bells and whistles in the middle model.
Either the experience does not achieve qualitative change, but only changes the frequency and power consumption.
Or, simply because the price is not good enough. (That's the main reason)
If there is something worth rushing, then they will also appear in the recommendations below.
Although, Brother has tried to make the conclusion simple and straightforward.
But it is estimated that there are still many friends who will be dizzy by these codes.
"I just want to play games, what kind of graphics card should I buy!"
Eh~ The answer to this question is much simpler:
Buy directly within the budget, the largest number, the latest N-card is done.
As for the reason --
Game book
Okay, the base pose is complete.
Let's move on to exciting recommendations.
Let's start with the gamebook that is probably the most concerned by everyone, in order of lowest to highest price.
Mechanical Revolution Jiaolong series
Because Lao Huang is not a person, the price of game books equipped with 40 series graphics cards has risen a lot.
However, there is an exception among many manufacturers, and the pricing strategy is still very "honest".
That is the mechanical revolution - our "machine leather".
Eh, why does this title sound so familiar?
Ahem, Brother Ji clarifies here that the two have no half-dime relationship.
But the cost performance of the mechanical revolution, the machine brother is recognized.
Take the Jiaolong 16K computer.
The R7 7735H processor with RTX 4050 graphics card costs only 5499 yuan.
If you add money to 5999 yuan, you can also get the RTX 4060 graphics card.
Performance level, enough to play masterpieces such as Assassin's Creed, God of War and more at 60 frames in high quality.
Even, with the latest DLSS 3 of the 40 series, you can also taste the taste of light chasing.
If you just play an LOL, it can easily break through 300 frames.
Take advantage of this gaming screen with 2560×1600 resolution and 165Hz refresh rate.
If you like a large screen, you can also consider the same series of Jiaolong 17K, which is now priced at 6999 yuan.
The screen expands to 17.3 inches and is quite comfortable in the dormitory when a small desktop is located.
If you have to pick a flaw for me.
One is the fate that the price butcher can't escape - the texture is rough.
Jiaolong 16K
In addition, the weight of the large screen model is close to 5 pounds, basically saying goodbye to mobile use.
Jiaolong 17K
Therefore, this notebook is suitable for those who pay attention to cost-effective friends.
As the old saying goes: people have almost got this price.
If you are willing to throw some money on appearance in addition to performance.
Then you can wait for the following one:
Asus Chosen 4
Look, there's a quadratic here!
Ahem, in terms of performance configuration, the difference between Chosen and Jiaolong is not too big.
Mainly the processor, the chosen can be on the Intel version, the game performance is stronger.
It's a bit of a pity that the i5+4050 version has a screen up to 1080P 144Hz optional.
If you want the same 2K+165Hz as the Jiaolong, you have to pull up the i7-13700H+RTX 4060 configuration.
The price is a little touching.
After all, big names + design come at a price, you just call it a mess.
ROG Gun God 7/7 Plus
Brother Ji had never expected it before.
One day, I will recommend ROG's notebook because of "cost performance".
After repeated comparisons, I was sure that this wave of top game books equipped with i9-13980HX+RTX 4080/4090.
ROG is actually the most fragrant of the first-line big names...
The "eye of the loser" becomes the eye of the family in seconds, how can I have this kind of dream?
To put it bluntly, the price of the ROG Gun God 7 series cannot be considered "cheap".
After all, as a top configuration + high-end design, it is close to a full game book everywhere.
Selling 20,000 is also reasonable, right?
The problem is that other brands are pricing even more outrageously this year.
For example, aliens, Razer, these brands that were once ranked alongside ROG.
Notebooks equipped with top-equipped graphics cards, there is no thirty or forty thousand you don't want to think about.
In the face of other people's devilish pricing, ROG, which has hardly increased in price, suddenly looks close to the people.
As for the mechanical revolution, HP and Acer are almost positioned products.
Either the price is not much lower than the Eye of the Loser, or the price has gone down, but the configuration is not up to standard (like the OMEN i7-13700HX).
At this time, take a look at the 16GB+1TB storage, mini LED high brush screen, and liquid gold heat dissipation of the Gun God 7.
It's all spent 20,000, let's reward ourselves with a ROG.
Almighty Ben
In the past two years, manufacturers like to push "all-round books":
The performance is stronger than the thin and light book, the body is thinner than the game book, and the appearance is a bit high-end.
Whether it's office, editing, programming or gaming, you can handle it all.
It is indeed attractive to users with medium and high budgets and mass demand.
So this time, Brother Ji also gave everyone a plate of this kind of notebook.
ASUS Intrepid Pro16(2022)
This may be the only "old" product in this recommendation.
The current price is 6999 yuan.
Isn't it, what about saying "buy new instead of buying old"?
Listen to me explain ha, mainly because the Intrepid Pro16 is a very special book.
First of all, as a 16-inch book, it weighs only 1.92KG.
In this figure, the configuration of i5-12500H+RTX 3050 is stuffed.
The performance release of 70W catches up directly with the game book, so this 12500H does not lose some heat dissipation ordinary 13500H.
The disadvantage is that the noise will be relatively loud when the load is high.
The bottom line is that it's very, very scalable.
In addition to the 16GB+512GB memory, an additional set of memory + M.2 hard disk interface is reserved.
In the future, there is not enough memory and hard disk, and it can be doubled at a very low cost, and MacBook is crying.
So, why didn't Brother directly recommend the 2023 upgrade?
Because in the new model, the second hard disk slot may be cut...
And the price, but also with the performance upgrade becomes more expensive.
So, if you pay more attention to practicality, scalability.
The 2022 Intrepid Pro16 is really good.
Lenovo ThinkBook series
Originally, the machine brother wanted to expand the ThinkBook 14, 14+ and 16+ to talk about it.
But come to think of it, the advantages of these notebooks are really similar.
Forget it, pull together A!
Compared to the intrepid series next door.
The ThinkBook family has put more effort into design and texture.
For those who need to hold a computer for work, meetings, and meeting customers.
Its appearance is obviously higher.
In terms of performance, the entire ThinkBook series can fully realize the potential of the i5-13500H.
The 16-inch version is also available with up to an optional i7 processor.
However, from the perspective of cost performance, it is not necessary.
One is that the performance of the i5 is strong enough, and the second is - the basic version is really cheap.
The ThinkBook 16+ costs only 5299 yuan.
At this price, in addition to "reasonable", Brother Ji can't find any adjectives.
At this price point, it is still one of the most abundant interfaces.
The only big regret, the machine brother thinks is the 90Hz screen.
The 2023 model has not upgraded the 120Hz screen, which is really puzzling.
Also, as a series suitable for mobile work, the 2023 model has not yet updated the AMD version.
Fans who pay attention to battery life can wait.
Originally, this section would have mentioned a series as a competitor to the ThinkBook.
That's Lenovo's own Xiaoxin Pro/Air 2023 series.
But what happened recently, readers who pay attention to notebook circles, understand everything.
Xiaoxin's recommended bit, the machine brother will help it for the time being, and we will wait and see what happens.
Ultra-thin book
Finally, Brother Ji talked about two more light office books.
In fact, under the squeeze of low-priced all-round books, the target market for such books has become narrower and narrower.
There are basically just a few keywords:
Business liaison, text office, frequent business trips, docking, meetings...
And most importantly: a little money ...
Users of this kind of book will have higher requirements for design, materials and branding.
You can't always wear a suit and face Party A.
As a result, take out a "social you machine".
So, you have to really iron your heart to enter the ultra-thin book.
Cheaper, there are Asus' Lingyao 14, and the Xiaoxin Air mentioned above.
Expensive ones like LG Gram 2023.
As well as Dell XPS 13, ThinkPad X1 Carbon, which will definitely be updated in the future, they are all good choices.
To put it bluntly, at this level, the proportion of "forced grid" has been much greater than performance, heat dissipation and even cost performance.
But there is one exception in the market.
That is the familiar Ago-
MacBook Air
If your usage needs are really web pages, codewords, making diagrams and watching videos.
The MacBook Air is even a cost-effective option.
The energy consumption ratio of M2 chips is too hanging.
Compared to many ultra-thin books with i5+ OLED screens, the bright screen is only a few hours.
The MacBook Air's endurance is enough to be a decisive advantage.
And its performance is not weak, cutting videos is even strong.
Workmanship, screen color, fineness, and speakers are also Ago's traditional strengths.
If you must ask the machine brother, where is the most unpleasant about the MacBook Air.
The first is the screen refresh rate, which is only 60Hz.
As well as a little memory, the price is enough to buy the MacBook Pro.
Such a tangle is also a traditional feature of Ago, and I have to taste it.
By the way, the recent news of the 12-inch MacBook equipped with the M2 chip is also quite optimistic.
This machine was destroyed on Intel that year, and it is simply appropriate to replace the M chip.
Well, the above is the recommendation of all categories of notebooks this time.
