Which laptop is really good...? -Points to focus on when choosing a notebook PC asked by 200 working women
Let's take a closer look at the top five.
01The most important point for laptops: "processing speed"
・If the processing speed is slow, stress builds up. (30s/office worker) ・Processing speed is important because there is a lot of multitasking work and Zoom. (30s/office worker)Even if you want to work efficiently, waiting for processing results in wasted time. Even during telecommuting, which has increased due to the corona crisis, we often do multiple tasks at the same time, such as editing documents that are shared on the screen and searching the Internet. If your PC is running slow, it might annoy your opponent.
Specs related to processing speed are mainly "CPU", "memory" and "storage".
The CPU, which is the key to processing speed, depends on the usage, but for Intel it is "Core i3 or Core i5 / 8GB memory / 256GB SSD" or more, and for AMD it is "Ryzen 3 or Ryzen 5 / 8GB memory / 256GB SSD" or more. With these specs, document creation and simple image editing will work smoothly.
If you want to create full-fledged image editing or video editing, you should choose higher specs.
Memory is often compared to a desk, but the wider the desk, the more work you can do in parallel. For general work, 8GB or more is recommended.
And the storage that stores the data is also related to the processing speed. There are two types of storage: HDDs are cheap but slow to read and write, and SSDs are expensive but fast to read and write. We recommend SSD, but if your budget is not enough, choose a product that combines SSD and HDD. SSDs with 256GB or more are the norm.
02Battery life is important for laptops
・Because I want the battery to last a long time when I carry it around. (30s/office worker) ・Because it's hard to carry around a power cable all the time. (20s/office worker)Even though the number of people using it at home has increased, it's a little troublesome to always connect the power cable and use it. It's better to have a battery that lasts as long as possible so that you can use it anytime, anywhere as soon as you open it. Let's use it as a guideline whether it can be used on the go for a day.
However, battery life will vary depending on how you use it. If you play videos continuously or insert a SIM card and connect to the internet, it will decrease faster. The specifications often state the operating time under low load conditions, so it is better to set the operating time to 8 to 10 hours or more as a standard. In addition, it is safe to have a model that supports "rapid charging" that can be charged quickly.
03The most important point for a laptop is "lightness"
・I want something that is easy to carry around because I use it for work. (30s/office worker))-Because it's light, you can easily carry it anywhere. (30s/office worker)When you work outside, you end up with more luggage. Besides, I'm worried about not only the notebook PC, but also the AC adapter for charging. By the time you reach your destination, your shoulders will start to hurt.
Nowadays, notebook PCs are getting lighter, and there are quite a few manufacturers selling notebook PCs weighing less than 1kg. If it is less than 1.5 kg, you will not feel inconvenient to carry it around. However, if it is a lightweight model, the battery life may be short, so please check whether it has a light weight and a satisfactory driving time.
04Easiness of typing on the keyboard
・I feel stressed when the keyboard is hard to type. (20s/office worker) - Occasionally there are keyboards that don't feel right, so ease of typing is important. (30s/office worker)Laptops use the built-in keyboard, so if the keyboard doesn't suit you, you'll be dissatisfied. It is a good idea to try the height of the keys and the width of the key pitch before purchasing. Depending on the manufacturer, the position of certain keys may have been changed, so check if there are keys that you use frequently.
05Points to focus on in a notebook PC: "Design"
・Design is important because you want to feel comfortable holding it. (20s/office worker) ・Because I want to use my favorite colors and designs. (20s/office worker)Like stationery and miscellaneous goods, carrying a laptop in your favorite color and sophisticated design will make you feel better. The color variations are increasing, and the texture of the top surface is different, so please choose your favorite design.
