| Screen Size |
15.6-inch is traditionally the most popular laptop screen size by far. But, it is being gradually replaced by the 16″ diagonal. Both 15.6″ and 16″ provide a lot of screen real estate while avoiding the bulkiness of 17.3″ laptops. |
| Screen Resolution |
Full HD (FHD) is the most common laptop screen resolution today. It offers good image sharpness and a decent amount of screen space for the user interface and applications. However, it doesn’t match the visual clarity of top-tier 4K Ultra HD. On the plus side, FHD typically consumes less power than 4K, making it more energy-efficient for everyday use. |
| Screen Features |
Displays based on IPS technology provide much wider viewing angles than the budget-class TN screens. The 144Hz screen refresh rate is higher than the typical 60Hz. It enables smoother movement of objects on the screen. It’s important for gaming and watching fast-paced action and sports. The 144Hz rate also makes webpage scrolling much smoother than on the basic 60Hz displays. |

| Performance |
High-performance laptops are those with powerful processors and dedicated graphics cards. These notebooks are suitable for AAA gaming, professional content creation and other heavy tasks. |
| Processor |
The 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12450H is a powerful processor. It’s typically used in gaming and other high-performance laptops. But, it isn’t as power-efficient as the mainstream laptop processors and it’s slower than its Core i7 H-series counterparts. |
| Graphics |
The GeForce RTX 3050 is a dedicated gaming-class video card. It’s much more powerful than the basic and common integrated graphics processors and capable of running smoothly all modern PC games. However, there are even faster GPUs in the RTX lineup – the RTX 3050 Ti, 3060, 3070 and 3080. You should consider them if you want to maximize performance for gaming on high resolutions and high detail settings. |
| RAM Size |
The 8GB RAM size is the recommended minimum in 2025. It provides comfortable multi-tasking for the most home and office users. Keep in mind that 8GB may be not enough for some demanding programs and many newer games. |
| Data Storage |
512GB or larger storage capacity is recommended if you store a lot of large files and install many programs. |
| Battery Capacity | 53 WHr Battery |
| Operating System |
Windows 11 Home operating system is designed for everyday users who need a fast, intuitive, and connected computing environment. The Pro version is recommended only for select business users that need extra enterprise features. |

| Other Notable Features |


If you wonder whether it’s possible to upgrade RAM: yes, it is. There are 2 slots, one occupied by the included 8GB stick and another free slot. 8GB in total is really too small for 2024/25 gaming.
