What's Inside?
Intel Core i7 13620H
- The 'Core i's are no longer made - but are still strong performers. Generates more heat than the new Intel Core Ultras.
- The '7' CPU is the gold standard for performance and multitasking, offering great speed at a reasonable price.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050
- If you need a graphics card, but don't need it for demanding tasks, this is the card. Don't expect a lot from it, but it'll run what you need. The 4060, 5050, and 5060 are all better choices though.
- The 4000 series is the previous generation from NVIDIA, and still stands proudly alongside the newer 5000s with less than a 10% performance difference between like tiers. Not a bad choice.
16 GB of RAM
- 16 GB is the current standard and handles most workloads. We are in a transition period towards 32 GB systems, but 16 GB is still king in today's market.
1 TB SSD
- 1 TB is the recommended minimum for most users, providing a very usable amount of room for games and files.
- The modern SSD is around 20-40x faster than conventional hard drives, and far more physically resilient.
15.6" IPS, (Full HD / FHD)
- 15" and 16" are the standard screen sizes, balancing portability and screen real estate.
- IPS (In-Plane Switching) screens offer great viewing angles and color accuracy — and aren't too expensive.
