【A must-see for beginners】Laptop purchase guide

author:Pen Bar Review Room

We use different colors to mark different product positioning, which can be roughly divided into three categories: gaming laptops, all-round laptops, and ultra-thin laptops.

1. The red color is a game book, mainly used to play games, and it is also a choice with higher performance in the same price range, and the high-end game book is suitable for e-sports enthusiasts and 3A game professionals. 2, yellow is a panacea notebook, which is both thin and light, but the thickness and weight are not as good as those of ultra-thin books, and the game performance can only play games with low picture quality. High-end jack-of-all-trades are suitable for graphic design, film and television editing. (Individual notebooks with complex positioning, such as large-screen nuclear display books, will also be summarized here) 3, blue is ultra-thin notebook, business notebook, no independent display, suitable for business people and people with high portability requirements, not suitable for in-depth games, high-end thin and light notebooks are suitable for elite-level business people. 【Changes in this issue】

【Q&A】

Q: Why are some products incorrect?

A: Dealers will adjust the price according to the inventory situation, and it is normal for the market to fluctuate greatly due to the market downturn.

The price segment we recommend is generally an acceptable price range, such as [Mechanical Revolution Aurora Pro] I recommend buying within 6500 yuan, and it is not very recommended if it is exceeded.

Q: The notebook that has been reviewed before, why is the pen bar not recommended?

A: It may be because the comprehensive competitiveness of the product is average, we decided not to recommend it for the time being after thinking about it, or it may be because we "don't understand its beauty", so we don't recommend it.

As the saying goes, "it's hard to buy a good price", if you really like a certain model, but we don't recommend it, then it is recommended to follow your own will to buy.

Q: Why are many popular products not recommended in the pen bar?

A: Because this recommended list only includes the products that have been evaluated by the pen bar, if you want to know whether some unevaluated products are worth recommending, you can leave a message to ask us.

The products to be evaluated by the pen bar in the future have been included in the [Evaluation Plan] column above.

Q: Why are there so few options in some price segments?

A: Because there are still many new products that have not yet been released, especially mid-to-high-end thin and light laptops, business laptops, all-round laptops, etc., we will evaluate them as soon as possible after the product is released.

Q: Why do you recommend older notebooks?

A: It may be because the new model has not yet been launched, and the competitiveness of the old model is acceptable.

It may also be because the difference between the new model and the old model is too small, and the old model is more cost-effective.
