Suppose you have to buy a laptop.
Possibly you go to an online store.
And in the laptop category you limit the search according to
your needs, but then you don't know which one to choose.
Believe me, I know how you feel.
Unlike cell phones or other gadgets, laptops
have hundreds of variations and are always changing in price.
Look at the case of Lenovo IdeaPad with 194 results and prices
ranging from 300€ to 700€.
That's why making a video about the best laptops
doesn't make much sense, because it all depends on what you can get.
However, I can help you find the best laptop for you.
As I have found the sponsor of this video Samsung.
Yes, you heard right.
Samsung has sponsored this video and right now they are
with an event called #YouMake, with some direct discounts,
but also a surprise where you choose a product
from one of these categories, like for example this refrigerator
or in my case the S21 FE and you complement it with a free gift of your choice.
If you need a new TV, add the soundbar.
If you need a new tablet, then the Buds Live or also
you can take advantage of some direct discounts like this OLED TV
or on the Watch 5.
This promotion is only available for Spain and if you are a student,
you can get some additional discounts additional discounts, so check it out.
Once again, thanks to Samsung for sponsoring
this video in the description also you will find all the links to the event.
Well then,
the first thing you need to know is your budget and what you need it for.
You need a laptop for gaming no matter the cost
or are you looking for something new a little cheaper that you can use for work.
A lot of you are saying, Dah...
That's obvious, but you can't imagine the number of people who love each other
buy a laptop for 300€ or 500€ and play Cyberpunk at 60 frames per second.
At least the anime you'll be able to watch it without problems.
That's why my second recommendation
are other extra products that allow you to complement that laptop.
If you need something for studying with a good battery.
But when you get home you're going to play.
Maybe the best thing to do is to buy a laptop something cheaper and lighter
and then build your own gaming PC or buy a console
instead of buying a much more expensive expensive laptop that does all of this.
Another alternative would be to play in the cloud with some service like GeforceNow,
but for this you need a good internet connection.
Me with this ASUS laptop
I am able to play Cyberpunk without any problem with GeforceNow.
Despite being a laptop
with medium specifications and having a reasonable Internet connection.
All this to say that
you must be honest with yourself and consider all options.
Once you know all this, then you can start you can start looking for candidates.
Make a list of those who have have caught your attention
and look for reviews of those models both on YouTube and on websites.
To make your job easier.
I have created a template in Notion that you can duplicate and that you can use
to list the good and the bad of every laptop you see.
But the most important aspects you should
pay attention to is in relation to the keyboard and the trackpad,
to the heating and to the heat dissipation in different
tasks, as well as its display how it looks and viewing angles.
Other types of specifications related to its raw performance with its raw performance as well
are very important and I will talk about about that next.
But these that I mentioned
they're kind of a little bit more difficult to analyze over the internet.
That's why whenever you can try to test the laptop in person,
it doesn't have to be the model
the specific model you are going to buy, but it does have to be of the same line.
Try the keyboard, the trackpad, how does it feel?
to know if you really like it or not.
In case this is not possible.
Try to buy it from a store that facilitates the whole return process.
I remember when I lived in Spain, my experience with Mediamarkt,
was not the best when it came when it came to returning products, but with Amazon
yes, and even more so when it is Amazon that distributes
and sells the product, when it's a third party and you have to read the fine print
to know that everything is going well, but in general, Amazon is very good at this.
Now I'm going to ask you a question and I want you to be honest with me.
When it comes to buying a laptop.
Do you always look at the latest models?.
If so, you shouldn't always.
In the case of the ASUS G14, its latest generation
improved not only the performance, but also the display.
A larger trackpad and overall feels more premium.
But with the new MacBook M2 the consensus
is not the same and more considering the price difference.
In my opinion, you should
always consider the benefits you are going to receive with the price to pay,
although in many cases this is also subjective.
What is not so subjective is the performance, which you cannot conclude
just by looking at the product specifications product specifications, but in real tests.
For example, consider this PC in both configurations
where the only difference is its lender and you will probably think that the I9
is the best, but in synthetic Benchmarks the difference is derisory.
And the same happens in games, so it's not worth
to buy the best, but in other cases, even with the same processor
and the same graphics card, the results may be different.
As you can see in this graph from Cyberpunk between the Lenovo Legion
and the MSI Vector.
So my recommendation is that you always look at always look at the actual results
in Benchmarks more of that laptop and compare it with your other alternatives.
Because many times there can be limits of
energy consumption or simply internal components
that are not the best, as is often the case with RAM.
In order to reduce costs, many manufacturers integrate a
only DIM of RAM, which clearly performs worse than if it were
in Dual Channel or integrate modems low quality wifi
which at the end of the day worsen your experience, so you should
check if it is possible to improve this yourself, by opening the casing
of the laptop and also if the product warranty allows you to do so.
This possibility not only increases the lifetime of the life of the product, but also
can significantly improve performance, not only by changing the RAM,
but also the storage in those laptops that come without SSD.
But something you should also consider are all the extras that you're going to need
with the laptop, if you're going to use it as a second monitor.
A stand like this will improve its ventilation and the height will also make it more comfortable.
If your laptop has few ports
USB, maybe a dock like this one is also necessary.
So consider all the extras you're going to need, especially
the one for your laptop connections, which come with less and less.
And for example, if you don't have HDMI, you will need a
USB C to HDMI and all this so that's money that you have to spend.
As I said at the beginning, I don't want to give you a specific recommendation
of the laptop you can buy because it depends on your budget,
where you live, a lot of factors, but on the NewEsc website
you can find two guides oriented more oriented to the Spanish public.
Of the best cheap laptops
and of the best gaming laptops we update every month.
Still, if you live in Latin America, for example, you can see it
to get a general idea of what you can you can get at a given price.
But come on, you're free to look at it,
to ask me and I'll try to answer as fast as I can.
And well, I hope you liked this video and see you in the next one.
Bye Bye.
