For school­child­ren, a lap­top is a great assis­tant in their stud­ies. With him, the learn­ing process will go eas­i­ly and quick­ly. That is why every stu­dent should have this mod­ern device.

A lap­top for study is a portable com­put­er designed to solve school prob­lems (cre­at­ing pre­sen­ta­tions, writ­ing reports, search­ing for infor­ma­tion on the Inter­net). The gad­get must meet sev­er­al impor­tant require­ments: the strength and reli­a­bil­i­ty of the case, a pow­er­ful proces­sor, at least 8 GB of RAM, and the pres­ence of parental con­trol.

Unlike a desk­top com­put­er, a lap­top is small in size, has low pow­er con­sump­tion (about 80 W, for a PC this fig­ure is 100 W) and is equipped with its own bat­tery. Thanks to the lat­ter, the child will be able to do home­work even in the absence of elec­tric­i­ty.

All mod­ern lap­tops are con­di­tion­al­ly divid­ed into sev­er­al cat­e­gories, con­sid­er them below:

For study	Have a screen res­o­lu­tion of at least 1920×1080 pix­els with a bright­ness of 160 nits or high­er to avoid dete­ri­o­ra­tion of the stu­den­t’s vision. For com­fort­able work, it is bet­ter to choose mod­els with at least 8 GB of RAM and a proces­sor of at least Intel Core i3;
For design	They have a Full HD-qual­i­ty screen, equipped with a con­troller with four or more cores with a fre­quen­cy of at least 2.5 GHz to work in var­i­ous graph­ic design appli­ca­tions. A good option would be a lap­top with an Intel Core i5 or high­er proces­sor and 8 GB of RAM;
For games	They have a proces­sor with a fre­quen­cy of 3 GHz or more, a sol­id amount of RAM (from 16 GB and above). For gam­ing tasks, devices with proces­sors from Intel Core i5 and AMD Ryzen 5 are suit­able;
For work	To solve office tasks, the gad­get does not have high require­ments. The main thing is that the lap­top works quick­ly in office appli­ca­tions (Word, Excel, Pow­er­Point) and does not freeze. For work, it is bet­ter to choose proces­sors not low­er than Intel Core i3 with at least 8 GB of RAM.

How to choose a laptop for a student

With a wide vari­ety of lap­tops for study, choos­ing the right option is not easy. We have pre­pared a list of para­me­ters that you should pay atten­tion to when buy­ing a lap­top for a stu­dent.

CPU

The speed of the lap­top, first of all, depends on the proces­sor. For sim­ple school tasks (prepar­ing essays, cre­at­ing pre­sen­ta­tions), web surf­ing or unde­mand­ing games (for exam­ple, GTA IV), Intel core i3, AMD Ryzen 3 proces­sors are suit­able. Their pow­er is enough to work in sev­er­al pro­grams at the same time and, for exam­ple, edit video for var­i­ous edu­ca­tion­al projects.

Memory

The amount of RAM for a stu­den­t’s lap­top must be at least 8 GB. This amount is more than enough for the fast oper­a­tion of the oper­at­ing sys­tem, brows­er, text edi­tors. If the child is pro­gram­ming, then it is bet­ter to pur­chase a PC with 16 GB of RAM.

>

>

The amount of built-in mem­o­ry is also impor­tant when choos­ing. For high speed read­ing and writ­ing data in the device, it must be at least 256 GB.

video card

An inte­grat­ed (built-in) video card is suf­fi­cient for study­ing at school. The choice can be stopped on AMD Radeon Graph­ics or Intel UHD Graph­ics.

Display

To make the child’s eyes less tired and strained, a bright screen with a good image and suf­fi­cient con­trast is need­ed. A wor­thy option for a stu­dent can be a dis­play of 1920x1080 pix­els with a Full HD res­o­lu­tion of 15.6 inch­es.

Interfaces

The manda­to­ry set for a stu­den­t’s lap­top includes the pres­ence of a Wi-Fi mod­ule, at least two USB ports and one HDMI. If the child is study­ing remote­ly or with an online tutor, then the device must have a web­cam (1 or 2 MP).

Review of an expert on laptops for a student

Shares his review of a lap­top for a stu­dent Alexan­der Kar­ta­shevtech­no-blog­ger “WaiFayka.RU”:

“A stu­dent lap­top is most often used for text work, so there are no high require­ments for it. It is enough that the gad­get meets the fol­low­ing char­ac­ter­is­tics:

• It had a small weight (up to 2 kg), for the con­ve­nience of tak­ing the gad­get with you to school;
• It was equipped with a screen that is safe for the eyes of a child (for exam­ple, IPS);
• Met the min­i­mum require­ments for com­fort­able work with Word, Excel, Pow­er­Point appli­ca­tions (at least 8 GB of RAM).

In addi­tion, it is bet­ter for a child to pur­chase an inex­pen­sive device, as he can break it or acci­den­tal­ly break it.
