When everyone buys a notebook now, they will choose the version of the hard disk with a large capacity. Judging from the products currently on sale, in addition to Apple, the vast majority of notebooks have basically abandoned the 256GB option, starting from 512GB, the entry models are basically 512GB SSD, and the 1TB SSD version is the mainstream, up to 10,000 yuan models, and there are also many 1TB versions. The most expensive ones will be available in 2TB or 4TB versions, but basically tens of thousands of laptops will do this. So what is the capacity of the hard drive version that the average user chooses?
From my personal experience, if it's a thin and light laptop, 512GB is enough, and 1TB is a more adequate choice. If it's a gaming laptop, 512GB is really not enough, and 1TB is basically a starting choice. Why do you say that, you might as well look down.
Let's start with a thin and light book. At present, the vast majority of users buy thin and light laptops, mainly for work or audio and video entertainment, in fact, there are really not many files stored, at most to back up the photos and videos in the mobile phone. Moreover, a lot of work is now online, and even documents are online, coupled with the development of online audio and video entertainment, there is basically no need to download music and videos to local viewing. Even if there is a similar demand, the number of downloads will not be huge. So, for a thin and light laptop, 512GB is really enough.
Look at the game book again. There is a very important difference between gaming laptops and thin and light laptops, that is, there are many scenes where games are played. The game needs to be downloaded locally to play, otherwise you don't need to buy a more expensive game laptop if you play cloud games. And now the capacity of the game is very large. Take "Black Myth: Wukong" as an example, it requires 130GB of hard disk space, if it is a 512GB hard disk, excluding the occupation of the system and daily software, about 100GB, plus 130GB, it has occupied 230GB. The usable capacity of the 512GB hard drive is almost 460GB, and half of the capacity is gone.
If you download more than this one game, then 512GB is easily stretched, so for a gaming laptop, 1TB is really a starting point.
In addition, since many gaming laptops have a second SSD bay, users can also install them themselves. However, it should be noted that after some products are disassembled, after-sales service will refuse to provide after-sales service, which is finally understood in advance. You can take the SSD to the after-sales replacement, so you need to give a handling fee, which is basically about 100 yuan.
In addition, novice users may not know how to install an SSD, although it is not difficult, but if they have not operated it, they may encounter problems. Therefore, it is still recommended to find after-sales operations.
If you want to replace it yourself, you either have skilled experience in disassembling and replacing the SSD, or you have learned the relevant operations in advance, and you don't care about the impact on after-sales, then you can replace it by yourself, and you can save the service fee of after-sales outlets.
In fact, on the whole, I personally think that the safest choice is to choose the 1TB version whether it is a thin or light laptop, or a gaming laptop, so that the time to encounter storage bottlenecks will be later. If you want to play a game, it is recommended to buy an SSD and go to the after-sales service to add it, so that you will not be able to run out of storage space when downloading games.
