Passions around gaming laptops do not subside: open any review of a gaming laptop on our website, and you will read a lot of comments that relate to both the technical characteristics of the device and its appearance. Expensive models are especially hard hit, and criticism, as a rule, comes down to a single argument: “ Dand for that kind of money I will assemble a much more productive system unit! » Of course, you will, I personally do not doubt the abilities of our readers (it's not just that 3DNews has been on the air for 20 years). But 2017 is coming to an end, and nothing is better than a laptop when it comes to a full-fledged mobile computer, mankind never invented.
And in the comments on the reviews of gaming laptops, they quite often write that the concepts of " gaming laptop" does not exist. You can argue about this for a long time, citing various arguments, but I propose to go straight to the point. Let's define: in this article, under the phrase " gaming laptop» implied modern models with screen resolutionFullHD and above, which give a comfortable number of frames per second in modern AAA-class projects. Let some devices not always “pull” the maximum graphics quality settings, but they will certainly cope with average quality. In this article, you will find everything you need to know when choosing a gaming laptop in 2017. In the first part, I will look at the main features of modern mobile PCs. In the second part, I will introduce you to the optimal, in my opinion, models that are present in the Russian market in due quantity.
And one more important point: I have not yet met gaming laptops that would work quite quietly under load. Many models have been in the test lab, but all of them are noticeably noisy in games. This applies to both inexpensive laptops with a Core i5-7300HQ processor, and far from budget gamebooks with a Core i7-7700HQ and GeForce GTX 1080. If the noise level is critical for you, then I recommend getting good headphones right away.
Let's get back to accessories. As you can see, deciding on a central processor is quite simple, since in most cases you will either have to choose from two models, or there will be no choice at all. But there are several more types of mobile graphics. AMD, again, still cannot impose competition on NVIDIA in this segment, so in the gaming laptop market we are seeing a total superiority of "green" over "red". In particular, I suggest choosing a laptop among models equipped with a Pascal generation GPU. It was with the advent of these solutions that the line between laptop graphics and graphics used in desktop PCs was completely erased.
Manufacturers can even fit two powerful NVIDIA Pascal GPUs into a laptop at once.
Today, eight versions of mobile graphics are available for sale: , GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB, GeForce GTX 1070 in Max-Q design, and - hyperlinks lead to reviews of laptops equipped with these GPUs. For complete happiness is not enough unless mobile version GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Given this missing link, gaming desktops still hold the palm as the most productive systems.
Recently, NVIDIA showed mobile graphics, which is a laptop version of the GeForce GT 1030. The performance level of this chip is not enough for modern games in Full HD resolution. The same can be said about the graphics of the Maxwell generation - GeForce GTX 950M and GeForce GTX 960M. There are still a lot of laptops with these GPUs on the shelves of computer stores.
Among the listed GPUs of the Pascal family with the GTX prefix, only the GeForce GTX 1050 does not “pull” AAA projects at high, very high and maximum graphics quality settings, but this solution is enough for virtual entertainment at medium graphics quality settings. And yet, this chip is best suited for Dota 2, WOW, WOT, Diablo III, Overwatch, League of Legends and other non-resource-intensive multiplayer projects. For them, 2 GB of video memory is enough.
| GeForce GTX 1050 2 GB, games, Full HD, FPS | |||||
| World of Tanks 0.9.19.1, HD textures, Max. quality, map "Mines" | Dota 2, Max. quality, 8x AA | Diablo III Max. quality | |||
| min | avg | min | avg | min | avg |
| 35 | 70 | 30 | 60 | 57 | 80 |
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti-level graphics are sufficient at high, including maximum graphics quality settings. Only this GPU does not have a margin of safety, so in a couple of years you will have to be content with low or at best medium graphics quality settings. In addition, it is worth taking a model with 4 GB of video memory - even this amount is often, but it is still better than the option with 2 GB GDDR5 SDRAM.
That is why, by the way, I would not consider laptop options with a 3-gigabyte version of the GeForce GTX 1060 - this mobile graphics has an excellent and productive GPU, but the lack of video memory clearly spoils the whole picture.
Notebooks with GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB, GeForce GTX 1070 and GeForce GTX 1080 (NVIDIA's top solutions come exclusively with 8 GB SDRAM) are great for games in Full HD resolution at maximum or close to them graphics quality settings. Naturally, the more productive the GPU is, the more expensive the laptop costs, but it will “enough” for a long time. I think that these graphics solutions will not disappoint gamers for the next couple of years. This is important, because in a laptop, unlike desktops, you cannot replace the video card. You either have to take new model, or put up with the fact that your laptop is completely and irrevocably outdated.
As I said, laptops with GeForce GTX 1050, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and GeForce GTX 1060 graphics are equipped with both Core i5-7300HQ and Core i7-7700HQ processors. Models with GeForce GTX 1070 and GeForce GTX 1080 mainly use a more efficient CPU. But in some cases, the question may still arise: does it make sense to take Core i7 for games? The answer is simple - no, you shouldn't.
Not so long ago, in 10 games, I compared the model in which the Core i7-7700HQ is installed with the one in which the Core i5-7300HQ is installed. Both laptops use the GeForce GTX 1060 version with 6 GB of video memory. As a result, the devices showed almost the same results. Therefore, if you take a laptop for games, then in conjunction with the GeForce GTX 1050, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and GeForce GTX 1060, it makes no sense to use the Core i7. In more productive models with the GeForce GTX 1070 and GeForce GTX 1080, it definitely makes sense to use the Core i7-7700HQ, but most likely it will be there anyway.
Will not interfere with a gaming laptop and 16 GB random access memory. In 2017, in most cases, models with 8 or 16 GB of RAM are sold, less often with 24 GB, 32 GB and even 64 GB. : using only 8 GB in the system can lead, under certain circumstances, to lags during the game, since many modern projects require more than 8 GB of RAM at high graphics quality settings. Data that does not fit into video memory is written to cells system memory laptop. And already with a shortage of RAM, the paging file is activated - it is he who is used to store pages virtual memory. Using a Swap file on your hard drive will result in noticeable FPS drawdown. It will be uncomfortable to play, although the average number of frames per second shown in a particular game can be quite acceptable. So it turns out that the ideal amount for today is 16 GB, this amount of RAM is enough for all games. You can save and take a laptop with 8 GB in one case: if it allows you to add more system memory over time. AT modern systems with Kaby Lake processors, DDR4-2400 modules are used, working with delays of 17-17-17-39.
When choosing a laptop, my advice is simple: take a model that will eventually allow you to replace the drive yourself with a more capacious and faster analogue. Now many games weigh 50, 60 and even 70 GB, so a 128 GB drive is only enough to host the operating system, drivers, and one and only (maximum two) games.
Everything is clear with the diagonal of the laptop. If a gaming laptop needs to be constantly moved from one place to another, then it is better to take a model with a diagonal of 15.6 inches. Now gaming devices weigh about 2.2-2.5 kg (plus a power supply for half a kilo), which should not become an unbearable burden for a man in his prime. If the laptop will be used mainly as a stationary PC, then it makes sense to take a 17.3-inch model. Still play on big screen somewhat more convenient. In most cases, gaming models use matte displays with anti-reflective coating.
About laptops with a matrix resolution of 1366 × 768 pixels they took and forgot together - only Full HD, only ... hardcore? Just in hardcore (read - Ultra HD), gaming laptops, in my opinion, do not need. Because the graphics performance of the GeForce GTX 1070 and GeForce GTX 1080 is not enough to play in 4K resolution at or near the maximum graphics quality settings. In addition, NVIDIA solutions support DSR technology, if someone still wants to get a clearer picture on a 15- or 17-inch screen. Interestingly, the WQHD resolution in gaming laptops is practically not used: either Full HD or Ultra HD.
As for the choice of a matrix in a laptop, it is better to look for a model with IPS. Inexpensive laptops tend to use very cheap TN displays. Of course, it is possible to live and play with such a screen, but it is not necessary. IPS usually has a higher brightness level, more contrast, better viewing angles and more accurate color reproduction. As a rule, the manufacturer indicates in the characteristics only the type of matrix, and the screen quality can only be found in reviews or by personally getting to know the device. There is a catch - sometimes the same laptop model is equipped with matrices of the same type, but from different manufacturers. Therefore, choosing a laptop with a really high-quality display is not always possible. Even the price of a laptop does not guarantee the availability of a truly high-quality matrix. The proof is in the review.
Frequency support and - "chips" in a gaming laptop are pleasant enough, but I would not call these technologies essential things. Budget laptops feel quite normal without them.
In laptop reviews, it's hardest to write about the keyboard, because you have to share a purely subjective opinion with the reader. You can read hundreds of reviews in which the authors will tell you that the key travel on the keyboard of a particular laptop is smooth, clear, fast, responsive, tight, loud, quiet, pleasant, and so on, but no better way than to taste the keyboard yourself. Therefore, I recommend going to some conditional "Eldorado". Even if the model that you have noted is not on the stand, you can always study the keyboard of another model from the same manufacturer. As a rule, they supply laptops with similar input devices. For example, MSI has been working with SteelSeries for a long time. As a result, both the RUR 80,000 model and the RUR 250,000 MSI GT73VR 7RE Titan SLI model use the same keyboards, even though they are comparing laptops with 15.6- and 17.3-inch screens.
I don’t see the point in paying attention to the touchpad at all. In addition to a gaming laptop, you need to buy a good mouse.
Additional parameters: battery, interfaces, sound
You shouldn't expect record-breaking battery life from a gaming laptop, although some models are able to operate without being connected to the mains for 4 hours or even more while watching videos or while surfing the web. If you need a gaming system with the ability long work battery, then look for a model with a capacious battery - from 60 Wh. Just be aware that in offline mode, GPU performance degrades dynamically, limiting rendering to 30 frames per second. In this mode, playing is not always comfortable, but in any case, not for long - an hour and a half at most.

The rest of the gaming laptop options are sound, wireless connection, interfaces - I boldly call them secondary. If there are several A-type USB ports, an HDMI output, an Ethernet connector and 3.5 mm mini-jacks for connecting a headset on the sides of the laptop, then this is quite enough for a comfortable pastime at the device. The presence of newfangled USB 3.1 Type-C and Thunderbolt 3 is extremely pleasant additional options, but definitely not essential interfaces. The sound quality of most laptops is usually below average. Simply because for a good audio component you need a spacious case.
Upgrade options and configuration options
Separately, I will mention the ability to independently upgrade a gaming laptop. This topic is dedicated to a separate one. As a rule, we can install additional RAM in a laptop, as well as replace existing drives with faster and more capacious analogues. This upgrade is enough to noticeably speed up the laptop. In addition, buying a laptop in a minimal configuration with subsequent “refinement” is a very profitable activity. For example, the initial configuration of the ASUS ROG Strix GL553VE with a Core i7-7700HQ processor, 8 GB DDR4-2400, 1 TB HDD and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB costs an average of 79,000 rubles. And the option with exactly the same hardware, but with 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB of SSD (SATA 6 Gb / s) - 92,000 rubles. However, for this amount, we can independently improve the initial configuration of the ASUS ROG Strix GL553VE with an additional 8 GB of RAM (+4,000 rubles) and a 250 GB solid-state drive (NVMe, PCI Express x4 3.0, +9,000 rubles). Agree, this version of the laptop looks much more interesting.
With all of the above in mind, it is better to buy a laptop that can be upgraded over time without any problems. Especially if you take not the most pumped modification. For example, a system without an SSD or with only 8 GB of RAM.

I can cite a million and one situations as an example, when having an inexpensive but productive laptop at hand with a good time battery life could save an unlucky student from a retake and help an unlucky journalist or programmer finish work on time, who for some reason lost access to their files. You always need to have a "trump card in your sleeve", "escape routes" - call it whatever you like, but those whose professional activities are related to computers and IT should worry about good backup tools in advance.

7.5 Evaluation
- Battery for 8 hours
- Good 14" screen
- 100 GB free with purchase
- The lowest price on the market
- No keyboard backlight
- Inaccurate touchpad operation
- No complete hard drive
- Quiet, muffled sound
- 2 GB RAM - very little
There is nothing surprising in the fact that our rating opens a laptop that can be purchased at the lowest price on the market - a little more than 10 thousand rubles. How is this even possible in 2019? Despite the fact that outwardly he does not lose to his older “colleagues” at all, and in many respects even outstrips them: for example, only a couple of participants have Soft Touch coverage. Perhaps all the trouble is hidden inside?
There is an element of truth here, and this share is rather big. The performance of the Prestigio Smartbook 141C seems to be frozen at the level of 2008 and does not want to cross this 10-year gap:
- Mediocre keyboard;
- Low-speed processor and video card from Intel;
- The lack of a full-length hard drive as such.
All this does not allow the gadget to jump above its head. It could well be used to “hang” in social networks, but even here an ambush is 5 GHz wireless networks are not supported. Why not just forgive the device for the sake of crazy savings? ..
However, laptops without "merits" cannot be included in our rating and those are present in the description of Prestigio Smartbook 141C. The combination of a bright and fairly “adult” IPS matrix with Full HD resolution, as well as 8 hours of uninterrupted battery life, simply pulls it out “by the ears” and leaves it to “breathe” in 10th place - it definitely cannot climb higher.
7.8 Grade
- Wide range of colors
- Full set of required interfaces
- Media storage on SSD
- Small amount of user memory
A quick look at the characteristics of the laptop, which is located in 9th place, at first there is a feeling of satisfaction from the abundance of modern technical solutions, characteristic of a completely different price segment: 4 GB of DDR4 RAM on a 2400 MHz bus, USB version 3.1 ... But when the description of the display comes into view, I want to shake my head and make sure - didn’t it seem? – only 11.6 inches on a TFT TN matrix?
It is clear how the developers of the Dell INSPIRON 3180 managed to keep the weight of 1.46 kg with tolerable performance. However, from the good:
- 2-core processor and integrated graphics card from AMD;
- Support for all IEEE 802.11 frequency bands;
- Loud speakers and great build quality from Dell.
In addition, when ordering, you can choose the software configuration of the machine (Windows/Linux/Unix), and in all versions, the laptop runs silently and almost does not heat up - always within 50C.
Thus, if you need a compact inexpensive laptop for study or work with documents for ridiculous money and fits in any ladies' backpack, Dell Inspiron 3180 is almost the best offer on the market. With their "troubles", of course, but where without it.
7.6 Evaluation
- 10000 mAh battery
- Light weight at 1.5 kg
- Good screen
- Quality from HP
- 100 GB on the "cloud" as a gift
- Minimum price
- No keyboard backlight
- No hard drive
- Terrible sound
On the 8th place in our rating of laptops up to 20,000 rubles, there is a development from Hewlett Packard with the speaking name Stream 14. This is a fairly good device that has all the necessary functionality for working in the office or surfing the net, but not suitable for running resource applications: for this, it “has not grown enough RAM” - a miserable 2 GB DDR3.
In terms of equipment, the HP Stream is very similar to the Prestigio, but holds much more pleasant surprises for its audience - and therefore the 8th place.
- First, it concerns the design: several color options to choose from and the thickness of the case is significantly lower.
- Second, inside full Intel Celeron with all the "following" in terms of heating and speed.
- Thirdly, the manufacturer gives each buyer 100 GB on the "cloud" file storage service, thereby compensating for the modest 32 GB of MMC memory, which cannot be replaced with an SSD.
If that's not enough for you, then get the latest Head Shot - a 10,000 mAh battery and a full day of battery life.
Among the shortcomings of the HP Stream 14 model is the lack of a keyboard backlight and poor sound quality, but these are not obvious characteristics and become clear only during operation. Build quality, warranty from HP and low price may well offset these small "omissions".
7.7 Evaluation
- 10,000 mAh battery for the whole day
- Cool and bright IPS screen
- Pleasant to use keyboard
- Slot for additional SSD
- Rich set of interfaces
- No keyboard backlight
- The amount of built-in memory - no!
On the 7th position is the first 15-inch laptop in our rating. And, of course, it was made in China. Meet Digma EVE 605 - not the most professional "zakos" under the MacBook, but it has a real and full-fledged IPS matrix with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and there are no questions about the results of its work!
Impressions from working with the gadget, in general, are pleasant. All the necessary ports and connectors are placed on the ends of the case (there is even an Ethernet LAN), and the level and quality of sound reproduction are almost the best among all budget lines.
Yes, the hard drive capacity is “none” – only 32 GB, but the developers have provided a slot that is easy to get close to and the warranty will not fall off.
Install at least a terabyte, if only to meet the 2.5 ”form factor. Yes, and a bonus in the form of a 32 GB SD card, which comes directly with a laptop, can play a positive role when choosing a car - usually suppliers do not go for such gifts.
Thus, the picture emerges quite rosy. What prevented Digma EVE 605 from rising a bit higher in our rating? Obviously, the build quality of the "Made in China" case - buyers complained about the crunches and deflections of the keyboard when typing quickly, as well as the long battery charge time from 0 to 100% - is a little annoying - I would like to keep within 2 hours maximum. Five is not acceptable for 2019.
8.0 Grade
- Excellent battery life
- A combination of two types of storage - HDD and SSD
- Convenient location of all interfaces
- Wide choice of body colors
- No keyboard backlight
- Obsolete display matrix
HP is persistently storming the approaches to the pedestal of our hit parade and launches heavy artillery: a 4-core processor from Intel, 4 GB of RAM and a colorful Full HD screen.
It should be understood that the rest of the “bells and whistles” in the form of an optical drive and an SSD drive can only be available in older versions of this line.
If you need to meet $ 300, get ready to purchase a regular 15 ”laptop, albeit very well built - this is HP.
Picky consumers can, however, find flaws in everything. For example, not everyone is able to arrange a TFT TN matrix, although it is reliable in operation and does not drain the battery much. By the way, limited screen brightness adjustments simply will not allow this. Someone has already heard about the benefits of Type-C USB connectors and wants to see them on economical versions. But, in fact, for the hard disk capacity of 500 GB and the high-speed SATA interface, it is already worth saying “thank you” to the developer. If you add almost 12 hours of battery life to this, you get a cool machine for work and study.
In general, the HP 15-BS000 was created to solve a wide variety of tasks: even some modern toys are “up to it” - the Intel HD Graphics 405 video card is not the most stock stuffing. A full-size digital NumPad will obviously please accountants and students and make their work more comfortable and faster.
7.4 Evaluation
- Compact dimensions
- Full set of interfaces
- Good speaker placement
- Excellent autonomy
- Run games only on medium settings
On the 5th position of the TOP of laptops up to 20000 there is a rather strange copy - Acer TravelMate B. This strangeness lies in the fact that it has no advantages: neither a powerful gaming processor, nor a 17-inch display, nor Thunderbolt 3 (for one it could give 1 ranking position). Why is he even here then? And then, so that adherents of other ecosystems can admire how harmonious a laptop can be - no minuses (for its price) can be found in it either.
Whatever characteristic of the gadget you take, you always want to add: “And you don’t need more.” 4 GB DDR3 RAM is exactly the amount you need for maximum overclocking intel Celeron up to 2 Hz. And the 400 series accelerator from HD Graphics perfectly organizes the work of a small 11.6-inch matrix with a resolution of 1366x768.
Internal 500 GB SATA drive and pre-installed operating system Linux system makes the device practically a pocket server for an IT specialist who travels to support a client or goes on a business trip.
Minimum weight of 14 kg, pleasant appearance and cool autonomy for 10 hours make Acer TravelMate B an indispensable and compact assistant in any field of activity. Looking ahead, we can say that Acer is a brand with clear championship ambitions, and 5th place is just the beginning.
7.9 Grade
- Two body colors to choose from
- Excellent autonomy
- Choice of configurations
- Processor energy optimization
- Obsolete display matrix
- Large case weight
The next participant in our “competitions” is a real favorite of the public - a bright and functional Dell Vostro 3568 with an excellent design and ample opportunities for connecting external devices.
It has something of a premium - a fingerprint scanner to restrict access.
In general, although this device costs relatively little money, it can no longer be called “compact” - a good desktop laptop of 2.2 kg and Linux on board - “true” admins will definitely appreciate it.
In very good proportions, the “expected” and “unexpected” indicators are combined:
- Finding an "adult" Intel Pentium 4415U with 2 cores of 2300 MHz inside is quite expected, but with a screen diagonal of 15.6, providing only HD resolution is strange.
- A similar situation with the interface group: a complete set of USB, HDMI and Combo for headphones versus RJ-45 for wired network and VGA (D-Sub).
Along with such ambiguity, there is an absolute advantage that is difficult to argue with - a solid-state SSD connected via Serial ATA is the first gadget with such a hard drive in our TOP and it is for this that the 4th position in the rating.
For those who do not want to exchange compactness for performance and appreciate the first more than the second, there is a recommendation to take a closer look at the top three.
7.5 Evaluation
- Compact size and light weight
- Four screen modes
- Sound setup utility
- Combination of two drives for file storage
- Integrated graphics only
- Small battery capacity
The bronze medal of our rating goes to a laptop from the eminent ASUS brand for winning the 2019 Designer of the Year nomination. In fact, the X507MA model has 4 different modifications, which differ greatly in technical equipment, but at the same time do not go beyond the allowed $300 even in the highest configuration. The younger version can be purchased in general for 15 thousand rubles.
The consumer can choose from HD and Full HD matrices of a 15.6 ”display (in all cases, this is an economical IPS matrix), Celeron or Pentium processors (for 2 and 4 cores, respectively), RAM from 4 to 8 GB, a wide range of hard drives, supporting SATA interface and speed up to 5400 rpm.
At the same time, the car looks great, weighs only 1.6 kg and has full set ports and slots for connecting external devices.
You can choose the preset of the operating system with which you are more familiar and comfortable to work with.
Full size keyboard with digital block and sensitive touchpad make typing fast and comfortable. Objectively, there is no reason why you shouldn't buy the X507MA - all the necessary functionality is provided at the proper level.
8.1 Grade
- Proprietary vision care technology
- Excellent battery life
- Large stock of ROM in the maximum configuration
- Low price - only 20,000 rubles
- Poor color quality and a small margin of display brightness
- No connector USB type-C
In second place is a very cool development from Acer. The model with a catchy name Extensa EX2540 continues the rating of inexpensive laptops in 2019. Price, quality, design and functionality - everything here harmoniously developed - a rarity among modern laptops for work and study.
Design top cover with imitation of metal chamfers, the use of wear-resistant materials and coatings win the attention of potential buyers at first sight. And they don’t let him go until the consumer “burrows” into a detailed study of the filling of the laptop. And inside there is something to "eat"
- First of all, this is the only series that offers a high-performance Core-i5 super-processor with core overclocking up to 2500 MHz in the older models of the line. Turbo mode Boost, Core-i3 is installed in stock.
- The amount of RAM is amazing for this segment: it is possible to equip up to 8 GB of DDR4 RAM on a 1600 MHz bus (in some versions it can even be upgraded to 16 GB).
- Complementing the picture is the widest range of hard drives used to store user files. Already in the initial configuration, a 128 GB drive is installed, and in principle it is permissible to use SATA hard drives up to 2 TB.
A juicy screen matrix with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, a keyboard with a numeric keypad, a gigabit port for inclusion in a highly loaded local network - this and much more allows you to use the Acer Extensa EX2540 at home and at work, in the office or city park, for studying and just for a pleasant while away leisure.
8.2 Grading
- big screen
- Technology for adjusting sharpness and contrast to the application used
- Support for native sound utilities
- Fast charge support
- Increased power
- Low core frequency
- No optical drive
The winner of our "competition" is an excellent laptop from ASUS in all respects. It does not even need to be introduced - this model is well known to everyone who is at least a little interested in productive developments in the IT market - Vivobook 17 X705MA completes our rating.
There is nothing surprising in the fact that a gadget from the "border" area of market segments won the championship in the TOP.
Its characteristics are such that it is impossible to say for sure: is it a high-performance “state employee” or a cheap premium car?
ASUS Vivobook 17 immediately leaves the competition behind, thanks to a huge and high-quality Full HD screen with a diagonal of 17 inches. For its operation and maintaining good performance when processing multi-threaded processes, a conventional SMA accelerator is no longer suitable. It uses a cool video card from NVIDIA - GeForce920 MX with 2 GB of memory.
All 4 modifications use exclusively high-speed DDR4 RAM with maximum frequency 2133 MHz with a total capacity of 4 to 16 GB - this allows you to run even demanding applications on a laptop, such as online games at maximum graphics settings. And fps at the same time keeps at a comfortable level.
Already in the cheapest version, a 1000 GB hard drive with a SATA interface is installed and an addition is possible in the form of another HDD hard drive in a 2.5 ”form factor.
The announced indicators are already enough to honor the Asus Vivobook at the top of the podium of our rating, but the developers did not rest on this and decided to “finish off” the audience with the presence of a fingerprint scanner, high-quality sound of the speakers and (theatrical pause…) USB installation 3.0 Type-C! Blimey! A real triumph of technology over marketing: 5-0 in favor of ASUS.
Summing up
The results of the review turned out to be more than just “positive”. Among the huge selection of powerful laptops for every taste and budget, you will definitely find the top 10 most technologically advanced and reliable machines according to reasonable price to solve their daily tasks (or put them in a "hot" reserve).
Regardless of what quality indicators you put at the forefront - processor performance, image quality, design, or simply the presence of a rich interface infrastructure - you can say with 100% probability that "armed" with $ 300 in your pocket, you will surely get one of those , which are featured in our ranking of the best low-cost laptops in 2019.

If you are reading this article, then most likely you are faced with a difficult question " How to choose a laptop in 2018?". This process, of course, is very responsible, because you need to choose a laptop that will last you a long time and will be able to satisfy all your wishes in it. Well, or a maximum of opportunities for a certain amount, which you do not mind allocating for its purchase. And, of course, in order not to make a mistake in choosing, you are looking for expert advice on the Internet. Well, I hope my articles will be at least somewhat useful to you.
And how much are you willing to allocate for a laptop?
- Best laptop display size
- Which graphics card to choose a laptop?

Go…
The main features of choosing a laptop in 2018
Among the huge variety of laptops on offer, first of all you need to choose what you like. The laptop should be good for you. Because, at least, it will be part of your interior. And secondly - you will spend with him great amount your free time.
Best laptop display size for home
Think about why you choose your laptop. Its size and characteristics will depend on its purpose. In most cases, a laptop with a standard 15.6-inch display diagonal will do. But if a larger display is much more convenient for your activities, you can also choose 17.3-inch models. And in the event that you need a laptop for travel, take a closer look at (11, 13, 14 inch models). For basic needs, this will be enough, and compactness is highly valued when traveling. Moreover, in 2018 there were enough laptop models that are both small and powerful enough.
Continuing with the theme of comparing displays, you will need to decide which display is right for you - glossy or matte. It is believed that matte displays are more suitable for work, while glossy ones are chosen for multimedia entertainment. Because all colors and shades are better conveyed on glossy than on matte. On the other hand, the matte display eliminates glare, which is good for your eyes. They won't tire too quickly.
Choosing a laptop video card
Doesn't look as cool as desktop PC
It is worth clarifying for yourself what needs you choose a laptop for. If for work, then, most likely, you should not pay attention to such a parameter as a video card at all. A low-power integrated video card will suffice for you. Although if the work is related to graphics, then here you already need to choose a more powerful video card, but it is not at all necessary to chase top-end cards. But if you like to play modern games, then here you can’t get out. To be able to play both modern games at high detail settings and games that will be released in the near future, you need a latest generation graphics card. These are at the moment (January 2018) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti (mobile), AMD Radeon RX580M.
Although, if you like to play games, then I would advise you to buy desktop computer. It's more powerful and cheaper. I have already compared a laptop with a desktop PC in my article "".
By the way, there is one unpleasant nuance with notebook video cards. You cannot buy these video cards separately and do not replace the existing one, as it could be done in a stationary PC. You need to immediately choose a laptop with a powerful graphics card. Or use the docking station to connect . But it is quite inconvenient and expensive.
Processors in laptops in 2018
Speaking of processors, it is worth mentioning that only two major manufacturing giants compete in this area. it Intel and AMD. Now it is difficult to say the processor from which manufacturer is preferable. It often depends on the specific situation. But since we are considering laptops, then Intel would be preferable here in view of its economical power consumption, which is important for device mobility. But there is also the other side of the coin - Intel processors are much more expensive than their competitors, other things being equal (or approximately equal) indicators. Intel processor lines are graded as follows (from weak to powerful):
Intel Atom (more for tablets than laptops)
Intel Celeron (weak processors for laptops and computers)
Intel Pentium (slightly more powerful, but still entry-level processors)
Intel Core i3 (midrange processors)
Intel Core i5 (pre-top level processors, can easily handle all modern games)
Intel Core i7 (top premium processors, just beasts)
(appeared only at the end of 2017, but not everyone can afford them)
Also, a lot depends on the generation of processors. For example, an eighth generation i3 can compete with an i5 processor from, say, the fourth or fifth generation. Technology does not stand still.
If processor power is an important indicator for you, then in subsequent articles in which I describe the best representatives of laptops in certain price ranges, you can see the power of processors and video cards in points
Random access memory (RAM) of a home laptop laptop
RAM
As for the RAM, then everything is simple. Recommended minimum 4GB. If you want to play, you need 8GB or more. Fortunately, unlike video cards and processors, this parameter can be increased at any time simply by purchasing an additional RAM bar, unless, of course, there is free space for it on the motherboard. And if not, then you can replace the already existing (or existing) RAM bar with another, larger one.
Read more about increasing RAM in my article "". It is partially suitable for laptops.
Conclusion:
Years go by, but everything remains the same. If you want to play, pay for the power. In the article, of course, everything turned out to be generalized and not very informative. The specifics for each part will be later. But now you know in general terms what you should pay attention to and how to choose good laptop home in 2018. It will not be difficult for you to choose a laptop that you really need, and not one that a consultant imposes on you.

“How to choose a laptop” is a simple question for a specialist who is well versed in modern devices. But what to do ordinary user who wants to buy an inexpensive but productive laptop for the home, and at the same time not overpay a lot of money for a brand. Let's deal with this issue together.
How to choose a good laptop for home in 2018?
Today, tablets and smartphones are becoming more and more popular, but most users understand that for full-fledged work, study and games, a computer or laptop should always be at hand. But if a computer is a stationary device that you cannot take with you on trips and to work, then a laptop is a universal option. So, what to look for when choosing this versatile device?
Quick Pick
If you don't want to get into the details of choosing a laptop, then here are some "quick tips" to consider when buying a device. For more information, read the sections below.
- 12.5 - 15 inch screens strike the perfect balance between portability and usability. It is better to choose screens with a large diagonal if you will not carry a laptop with you, and it is not very convenient to work or play on small screens.
- If you plan to spend more than 60,000 rubles, then build on these minimum specifications:
- CPU Core i5
- screen resolution 1920x1080
- random access memory 8 GB
- SSD instead of HDD
- 8+ hours of battery life would be ideal if you plan to carry your laptop with you all the time.
- Windows or MacBooks is a matter of personal taste.
And now let's understand everything in more detail.
Choosing a platform: WINDOWS OR MAC OS?
The answer to this question is not easy, especially if you are not familiar with both operating systems. In this section, we will try to highlight the strengths and weak sides each OS.
Most modern laptops in Russia are shipped in operating system Windows, MacOS is for Apple products only.
Windows
The most popular operating system that runs on laptops costing $10,000 or more and offers a wide range of features from touch screens to fingerprint scanners. Since the Windows operating system appeared several decades ago, a huge number of games and applications have been released on it. Despite this, the system is not very well thought out, so "bugs and lags" are waiting for the user throughout the entire time of use.
MacOS
All MacBooks come with this operating system. In general, Mac OS offers similar functionality, but it has much fewer problems: the OS is completely protected from viruses, functions stably and has excellent ergonomics for work. If you are not bothered by a small amount compatible games and new interface, then you should definitely choose Mac OS.
Choosing a screen size
Before looking at specifications and prices, you need to figure out the screen size. By screen size, laptops are:
- 12-13 inches: The lightest and thinnest devices that fit easily into any bag. But you will not be able to play demanding games and heavy applications.
- 14-16 inches: The best balance of portability and comfort of use. Laptops with such a diagonal are equipped with a good “stuffing”, plus they are convenient to take with you due to their not very large sizes.
- 17 inches or more: Such devices have a high computing power, so they are most often used only for the home (demanding games, applications, video editing, and so on).
Choosing technical specifications
The choice of laptop components, such as processor, hard drive, RAM and graphics card, is the most difficult thing when buying a laptop. Therefore, do not be discouraged if you do not understand anything about this, below we will try to figure it all out.
CPU
The processor is the brain of your future portable PC, which has a huge impact on performance, speed and power consumption. There are two main manufacturers on the market: Intel and AMD.
Processors from by Intel work an order of magnitude faster than their main competitor, but the price of their products is correspondingly higher. Therefore, if you have a good budget, we recommend that you look at laptops with a Core i7, Core i5 or Core i3 processor. If you do not want to overpay for a faster processor, then pay attention to AMD products: Phenom II, Turion II, A6, A8 or A10.
RAM
When working on a laptop, you will surely use Google browser Chrome or other similar applications. For their smooth operation, they require a lot of RAM, so we recommend choosing from 4 GB of memory, and ideally from 8 GB or more.
Modern laptops may have free memory card slots. Therefore, if you do not have enough available "RAM", you can buy one or two bars.
video card
A video card is a component that converts a graphic image stored in computer memory into a form for display on a monitor screen. Video cards are divided into 2 types: discrete (external) and integrated (internal).
Integrated, as a rule, initially built into motherboard or processor. They do not have their own memory, so they have to use the laptop's RAM, and this greatly affects performance.
Advantages of using an integrated graphics card:
- the price of a laptop is much lower;
- small size, respectively, weighs much less;
- consumes a minimum of energy.
Pros of using a discrete graphics card:
- high performance;
- quality image;
- does not consume the device's RAM.
Battery life
If you plan to use your laptop only at home, right next to the outlet, then you don't need to worry about battery life. It’s a completely different matter if you use the laptop “on your knees” every day, that is, using only the battery charge. In this case, you'll need at least 7 hours of battery life, and 8 hours would be ideal.
Do not trust the inscriptions of the developers about the battery life, as they constantly overestimate these values. Before buying, be sure to look at tests from objective sources that will show an approximately true value.
