Before you buy a laptop, you need to be prepared for the fact that, having come to an electronics store or having visited the corresponding online resource, you will have to face a huge assortment of these products. Moreover, companies producing mobile computers are also not small. And although everyone, most likely, has their own opinion about which manufacturer should choose laptops, the rating will not be superfluous.
Asus
One of the most popular laptop companies is Asus, a Taiwanese manufacturer and watchdog for the related market. The products are of high-quality assembly, reliable after-sales service and include models belonging to different price categories. The company was one of the first to launch a transformer laptop that combines a laptop as well as a tablet. Incidentally, Taiwanese experts have created a series of gaming devices Republic of Gamers, able to compete with the Alienware series from Texas-based Dell. And here is one of them.
Asus G551JM
This model represents the best laptops for games, so it can not be called budget (cost about 70,000 rubles). But, despite this, the laptop is very popular among users. Firstly, it is equipped with an excellent IPS-display with Full HD resolution with rich colors and wide viewing angles. Secondly, it works very quickly: any tasks are performed at lightning speed, and the system boots up within 10 seconds.
Thirdly, this is a gaming laptop, and in this regard, it fully justifies this statement. It will easily launch the latest games, as it has a 4-core Intel Core i7, 8 GB DDR3 and a 2 GB GeForce 860M graphics card installed inside.
Hewlett packard
Next, we are transported to the USA, California, the city of Palo Alto. Here is another well-known company that produces laptops. A rating without Hewlett Packard would be incomplete, because it has been on the market for a very long time and has been recognized as one of the best brands. Hence the second place. The devices have an excellent design and a sturdy case. True, Hewlett Packard produces few good budget models.
The manufacturer divides all of its products into several series, starting with those that include simple devices, and ending with elite models with powerful filling, unique design and the ability to work in 3D programs. And as an example, consider one of the company's latest models - the elegant, gaming HP Omen laptop.
HP Omen
If you are wondering how much the HP Omen laptop costs, then the price ranges from 90,000 rubles. He has a number of advantages. Among the main advantages distinguish appearance and dimensions. It looks solid, and the weight is only about 2 kg. The aluminum plate on the lid has a texture in the form of small triangles, as well as an inscription reminiscent of the manufacturer.
The laptop has a 15.6-inch touchscreen made using IPS technology and has excellent sensitivity. They also note the sound system Bang and Oluffsen, which provides good sound. The keyboard has a customizable backlight. And inside there is an Intel Core i7 4720 with a graphics core, 16 GB of RAM and a GeForce 960M graphics card.
Apple
The next popular brand is Apple. The main feature of all its devices is a different operating system. Mobile computers run on Mac OS, are usually well optimized and have an attractive design. Many people think that Apple makes the best laptops. All models of the company are in a high price category. So, for example, one of the latest MacBook 12 devices, which does not even have Air and Pro consoles, costs about 90,000 rubles.
Apple MacBook 12
As for the characteristics, the novelty is equipped with a 12-inch Retina-display with a high resolution of 2304 × 1440 pixels. And the Intel Core M processor and 8 GB of RAM are responsible for the work. This model is so compact that the company had to develop a keyboard specifically for it. Moreover, a completely new mechanism has been made for the keys, thanks to which pressing is guaranteed regardless of which part of the button the finger touches.
Attention is also paid to the autonomy of the MacBook 12. The battery occupies at least half of the internal space of the device. Of course, the laptop could not beat the records of battery life, but it can withstand 7-8 hours with an average load.
Lenovo
Now about the Chinese company Lenovo, which is also a popular brand that produces both expensive and inexpensive laptops. The range includes various models: powerful and functional from the ThinkPad and IdeaPad series; mid-range devices as well as compact netbooks. Therefore, Lenovo is able to please both gamers and those who need a laptop to work. In general, it offers devices for every taste and every wallet.
Lenovo IdeaPad B5030
This laptop belongs to budget models. It is made entirely of matte plastic, which in itself is not bad, because fingerprints on it are practically invisible. There are no complaints about the assembly either: the case design is reliable and durable.
Before proceeding to the specifications, we will find out how much the laptop costs. Its price is about 20-25 thousand rubles, so there is nothing to do too demanding games on his hard drive. It's just that the local video card is not designed for such loads. He does an excellent job with office applications, playing multimedia files, and surfing the Internet is a pleasure. And this is easily explained by the fact that the Celeron N2830 processor and 4 GB of RAM are responsible for the operation of the B5030. Although there are modifications with more powerful processors.
Toshiba
The Japanese company Toshiba with electronics has long been at the "you". Its specialists are always trying to introduce some new technologies into their devices, while maintaining high quality. As a rule, each Toshiba laptop belongs to a certain series, and Satellite is considered the most popular. The models included in it have all the necessary features for working at home or in the office. And some of them are so productive that they often end up on the table of computer game lovers.
Toshiba often makes inexpensive laptops. But this time, the Portege family computer will be considered, which you will not name budget. And although this device is not the most powerful, its advantage is different in portability and impeccable style.
Toshiba Portege Z20T
What is the appeal of this laptop? Its first feature is the hybridity of the device, i.e. in an instant, it can turn into an elegant tablet. The second feature is a clear Full HD IPS display with a maximum brightness of 300 cd / m2, which is very good for a 12-inch screen.
And the third feature is the autonomy of the device. The fact is that the manufacturer positioned his device as a long-playing one, attributing to him at least 16 hours of work. And he lied quite a bit. In practice, the laptop lasted 10-12 hours while browsing the Internet, and even less in the tablet mode. But this result is not bad either.
Unfortunately, all these features simply fade before the outrageously high price (about $ 1300). Therefore, not everyone can afford a Toshiba Portege Z20T laptop. Although, perhaps, he is worth his money.
Sony
Despite the fact that the Japanese company Sony is no longer producing laptops, it will continue to rank. True, not the corporation itself, but its division - Vaio, which it recently sold. That it is now engaged in the production of laptop computers. He can’t boast of a large assortment yet, but on the basis of the devices that are on the market, we can say that they are distinguished by high-quality case materials, multifunctionality and optimization. And all the components designed for them work without problems. At the same time, not everyone can buy a Vaio device, like a Sony laptop. Take, for example, the latest model released under an independent brand.
Vaio z
This is a hybrid laptop with a diagonal of only 13 inches and a large resolution (2560 × 1440). The device itself is equipped with a special rotary design Multi Flip, which allows you to open it 180 degrees. The case materials are carbon fiber and aluminum, so the weight and thickness of the laptop are minimal (1.3 kg and 16 mm). A little unusual device, but this explains the presence of the letter "Z" in the name. According to rumors, it means “zero” and explains the company's desire to start all over again.
The transformer is available in two versions, which differ in processors (Intel Core
i5 or i7) and RAM (8 and 16 GB). The device also supports the use of an electronic pen, and its battery life is 12 hours. But for this you will have to pay from 70 to 100 thousand rubles.
Samsung
It's time to finish listing the most popular laptop companies. The rating, of course, can be continued further, but so far there are enough seven manufacturers. The last one is the South Korean company Samsung. Of course, its activities also affect other types of industry, for example, chemical and heavy, but electronics account for more than 70% of the group’s sales. This division is engaged in the production of televisions, household appliances, hard drives, LCD displays, RAM, smartphones, etc. As for the company's laptops, first of all, it is necessary to note the lightness and reliability of devices.
Samsung NP300E5C
In general, it is difficult to find an inexpensive Samsung laptop with decent features. But this model refutes this fact, given its popularity among users and the price that is being asked for (about 25,000 rubles). And manufacturers themselves are hinting at increased device autonomy.
Notebook
Samsung NP300E5C shows good performance for its price. Of course, it is rather weak for demanding games, but its capabilities are enough for working with documents, launching multimedia content and performing everyday tasks.
To make it clear, a discrete graphics card is installed there , the resources of which are enough to run games two years ago at low settings. But only 4 GB of RAM, which, however, can be increased to 8 GB if desired.
