Need help choosing a laptop
Thread Content
I’m seeking advice from everyone; I want to buy a laptop now, as my current one is already eight or nine years old. The budget is around 5,000; it’s for normal use of CAD, PDSOFT, and Office, without playing large-scale games, with occasional play of games that don’t require high specifications. Thank you
Let’s talk about brands first; if business laptops are not a problem, the ThinkPad is the top choice； If you don’t like business laptops, go with Dell or Lenovo ； If domestic brands are an option, Xiaomi and Huawei can be considered. If you travel frequently, you can opt for a lightweight model; if you don’t move around much, a mechanically reinforced hard drive will also work. Prices are clearly displayed online these days.
Do I need to buy a high-end model for a ThinkPad? Was the ThinkPad worth nearly 5,000 that the company provided before a piece of junk? ? ? ? ? ? Do you prioritize appearance, performance, or cost-effectiveness? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Personally, I think 5,000 yuan can meet the poster’s needs
The 5000 price range is a rather awkward one – configurations below 5000 are of poor quality, while those in the 5500–7000 range offer more reasonable specifications. It depends on your needs; if you don’t require a high-performance graphics card, the 8th generation Intel processors have now been released, offering significantly better performance compared to the 7th generation. I suggest waiting a few days and purchasing a laptop with an 8th generation low-power CPU; Dell is a recommended brand.
Check out Taobao, JD.com, and Suning Easy Buy
Drawing notebooks are very inconvenient; if you travel frequently or go to sites on site, it is recommended to bring a tablet. If you have the money, get a Microsoft Surface. There isn’t enough money to buy a Lenovo MIIX. The MIIX5 I got is pretty good.
For chemical engineering, it’s recommended to choose ones with high performance; a dedicated display is definitely necessary, as it will be useful for 3D rendering in the future
The higher the performance, the longer it can be used, and it’s less likely to be phased out
