How to choose a lightweight laptop?

Most buyers think that any more or less lightweight PC can be called an ultrabook. This is wrong. The Ultrabook brand is owned by Intel, which determines the specifications for devices using the brand. It received registration in 2011.

To be called an ultrabook, a device must meet two conditions:

• Be subtle. Thickness values ​​vary depending on the size of the device. The maximum diagonal thickness of a laptop with a 13.3-inch screen should not exceed 18 mm. For models with a large screen, the limit is 21 mm.
• Be easy. Laptops with a screen up to 13 inches diagonally must weigh 1.5 kg or less. Models with a 14-inch screen – 1.8 kg. Even with maximum screen sizes, the weight of an ultrabook cannot exceed 2 kg.

However, these are not all selection criteria. You should also focus on:

• CPU. The chipsets in ultrabooks are far from the same as those in desktop computers, although the name of the models may differ by just one letter. The I7 processor is approximately 2.5 times less powerful than its full-size counterpart. The performance gap is even wider in the Atom series. If a Pentium or i3 processor is enough for everyday tasks on a desktop PC, then it is better for an ultrabook to have an i5.
• Video card. Using an integrated graphics card in lightweight laptops is the norm. Very few models have discrete video cards, and even those are extremely low-performance. Thus, the quality of a video card directly depends on the processor, because they are combined.
• Screen. Ultrabooks are devices designed primarily for work. Therefore, the quality of their screen is an important criterion. It is advisable to buy models with an IPS matrix and a resolution of at least FullHD.
• Design. A laptop should not only be stylish, but also practical. The metal case helps with this, as it is more resistant to damage during transportation, improves appearance and promotes heat dissipation.
• RAM. For comfortable work, it is better to have at least 6-8 GB of RAM, while 4 GB may be suitable for undemanding tasks.
• Storage device. The HDD capacity depends on the user’s requirements, but no one sets it below 500 GB. The question is more about the SSD drive. Its presence allows you to speed up the system and launch all kinds of programs many times over. A lot of advantages of SSD make it extremely desirable for installation in ultrabooks.

Important! Experts advise buying a lightweight laptop right away with a small reserve of power for the future. Ultrabooks have very little resource for upgrades. Their maximum is to add one stick of small RAM and an SSD drive.
