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 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.
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. Today's games can exceed 100 GB, so you’ll need to manage space carefully and often.
- 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.
