What's Inside?
Intel Core i5 12450H
- The 'Core i's are no longer made - but are still strong performers. Generates more heat than the new Intel Core Ultras.
- The '5' CPU is the budget-conscious workhorse. It handles most tasks but may struggle with multitasking. The '7' upgrade is typically worth it for better performance for a small difference in cost.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050
- The 3000 series is two generations old, and generally only found on older under-performing laptops. Not bad cards, but due to how the laptop market works you can get the latest generation for around the same price - with better longevity and up to 40% better performance.
8 GB of RAM
- 8 GB is NOT recommended. It will struggle with modern software and games, making it a poor investment.
512 GB SSD
- 512 GB is the bare minimum for modern storage needs, and it's highly uncomfortable to use since today's games can exceed 100 GB each. Upgrade to at least 1TB if you can.
- The modern SSD is around 20-40x faster than conventional hard drives, and far more physically resilient.
15.6" IPS-level, (Full HD / FHD)
- 15" and 16" are the standard screen sizes, balancing portability and screen real estate.
