Last time, Brother Ji wrote an article "Laptop Buying Guide".
Because of the cost-effectiveness, the recommended laptops in that article were all laptops costing more than 4,000 yuan.
At that time, Brother Ji guessed that some friends might be interested in books under 4,000 yuan, so he made statistics.
The result was unexpected, with more than 3,000 likes...
It seems that everyone likes cheap and affordable things.
Hey, since Ni Meng is so enthusiastic, Brother Ji is here to fulfill his wish today.
First of all, it must be clear that notebooks get what you pay for.
Last time I recommended notebooks priced above 4,000 yuan because there are many types of notebooks to choose from at this price. Whether it is the ultrabook that pursues thinness and lightness, or the gaming notebook that pursues performance, they can both ensure their own advantages while taking into account quality and performance.
And laptops under 4,000 yuan...
Excluding genuine Windows, Office licensing costs and brand premiums, how much money can really be spent on hardware?
Considering the 4 years of use in college, if you have the ability to use , you still have to work hard and spend an extra 1,000 yuan to choose a mainstream configuration.
If you are really strapped for money and just want to buy a computer, Brother Machine recommends you:
Windows assembly of computer plus monitor/Mac mini plus monitor
It is cheaper to build your own desktop computer, the performance will be better, and it will be more convenient to use. smoothly.
The monitor and host are separated from each other, allowing for more random allocation of funds.
- If you play LOL often, then invest more money in the host.
- If you are a girl who often watches TV dramas, occasionally surfs the Internet, writes documents, etc., then just buy a good monitor.
Now the AOC 31.5-inch curved monitor is only 1299.
The point is that the larger notebook screen is only 15.6 inches, and the display area of the 31.5-inch monitor is equal to 4 times that of the notebook .
Whoever uses it knows how it feels.
Excluding the 1,300 yuan spent on the monitor, the remaining 2,700 yuan can be used to build a good host. The entire solution does not even cost 4,000 yuan.
The only disadvantage of desktop computers may be that they are not convenient to transport during holidays.
If you care about this, Brother Ji has to recommend Mac mini small host to everyone.
In everyone’s impression, Apple’s computers are often expensive, but Mac mini is an exception.
(the quotation of Mac small host on a certain website is for reference only)
3000 Yuan can experience the peace of mind and beauty of the Apple system.
For surfing the Internet, watching TV series, and chatting on WeChat, the Mac small host is completely sufficient, and it is also very convenient to carry.
Of course, if you insist on buying an notebook under 4,000 yuan, then continue reading:
Acer Mowu TX420 (3,999 yuan / 14 inches)
3,999 yuan, which is actually 4,000...
Teacher Luo once said , not willing to make that 1 yuan, which makes the company look like a thief.
But just because of the 1 yuan difference, this computer was selected...
First of all, in terms of configuration, Mowu TX420 uses the latest Intel 8 generation i5-8250U processor.
In terms of paper parameters, the 8th generation i5 beats the 7th generation i7, and its performance is very strong.
As for games, it uses MX130 with a performance of about 940M. There is no problem playing LOL and Need for Speed 18.
has quite a few interfaces.
On the D side, the TX 420 has a small hatch, so the memory and hard drive can be easily upgraded without opening the back panel.
But the problem lies here. The standard configuration of 3999 yuan only has 128GB SSD and 4GB memory.
This combination is not enough for daily use. If the memory and hard disk are upgraded to the mainstream 256GB + 8GB, the actual expenditure will be about 4,500 yuan.
Strictly speaking, this notebook is more like an "emergency notebook". When you have money in the future, just upgrade the configuration and the computer's performance will be fully released.
Shenzhou Ares K650D-G4D2 upgraded version (3399 yuan / 15.6 inches)
3000 yuan, this price range is the world of Shenzhou.
About 3500 yuan, it must be K650D, with the best performance, no one else.
k650D uses the desktop-level G4560 processor. This processor is weaker than the 8th generation low-voltage i5 and stronger than the 7th generation low-voltage i5. It is also much stronger than the i5-4210M used in mainstream gaming laptops two years ago.
So the CPU performance is OK.
(Performance Ladder Chart)
GPU is the highlight of this computer. Although it only costs over 3,000, it uses the MX150, which is better than the 3999 model that the machine brother just recommended.
GPU performance has been improved by about 40%
To put it simply, this thing is a mini host with its own screen.
- desktop-class CPU is destined to have poor battery life.
- If the weight is more than 2.5 kg, no muscle in the body should be able to carry it.
- Everyone knows the workmanship of Shenchuan.
comes with its own screen and battery, which may be its only advantage over desktop computers.
If you choose this one, remember to upgrade the memory and solid-state drive. I can still survive for another two years.
Xiaomi Air (3599 yuan / 12.5 inches)
Among Xiaomi notebook , I only recommend this one.
Although it is the same as those other Xiaomi notebooks, it has no value for money. But the workmanship of its shell is excellent and looks comfortable.
I won’t introduce much in terms of performance. Anyway, just remember that it can only be used for writing documents, chatting on QQ, surfing the Internet (don’t open too many web pages), and watching TV series.
Let’s focus on its exquisite shell.
5.71 mm narrow bezel screen.
B is covered by a whole piece of glass.
ACD has a tough metal body on three sides.
looks like apple.
11.5 hours official battery life.
12.9 mm thickness.
1.07 kg weight.
standard ultrabook indicator.
When these parameters are added together, Brother Ji seems to see a bourgeois woman who loves to go to libraries and coffee shops.
For them, performance is irrelevant, and appearance is the most important.
Just before taking pictures and posting them on WeChat Moments, you might as well buy a touch-up pen from Machine Brother and blacken the MI at the bottom of the screen.
It's not a real Apple after all, right?
Shenzhou Elegant XS-3000S1 (2399 yuan / 14 inches)
2000 You can also buy notebooks.
solid state drives, full HD IPS screens, and many.
Only Shenship can do this.
At this price, I really can’t say that the Internet is not lagging.
can only say that if you must buy a laptop at this price, this one is the best.
Summary
Careful computer friends may have discovered that Brother Brother’s recommendation jumped directly from 3400 to 2400, with a gap of 1,000 yuan in the middle.
The reason is simple.
At present, the price of the 8th generation low-voltage i5 has remained at around 3,800 yuan. If the price drops by 300 yuan, only the 7th generation low-voltage i5 is available.
But if you are looking for performance, the CPU and GPU of the Shenzhou K650D are better than those equipped with the 7th generation low-voltage i5.
In other words, the 7th generation low-voltage i5 has no purchase value now.
At the same time, most laptops on the market priced between 2000 and 3000 use N3450/3160 processors.
These processors starting with N are actually upgraded versions of the previous Intel Atom processor.
Atom was originally used for netbooks . In other words, notebooks using N-series processors are more like large-screen netbooks. Notebook like
is not cost-effective at all. will naturally skip it directly.
It’s the beginning of school season recently, and Brother Ji guessed that there will be many unscrupulous businessmen selling “large netbooks” in the computer mall and at the school gate.
hopes that all computer users will not buy such things because of the store's deception and a temporary bargain.
