Processor
Indicates the laptop’s performance. Higher clock speed, more cores, and additional threads ensure faster task handling.
-
Brand
For basic tasks, device performance depends more on the processor model than on the brand. Certain features, such as Thunderbolt data transfer technology, are developed by Intel and supported only on devices with their processors.
-
CPU Series
CPU series indicates performance, power consumption, and architectural differences between processors. A higher number in the series name (e.g., Core i7 or RYZEN 9) means a more powerful chip. More powerful CPUs may consume more energy.
-
Model
CPU Model – an encoded designation of the processor’s specifications. Higher numbers indicate a more powerful chip. The final letter shows special features: for example, U stands for low power consumption, H for high-performance graphics.
-
Cores
Number of Cores — the number of physical processing units within a processor. A minimum of two cores can handle basic tasks, while more cores boost overall performance, enabling faster and smoother operation of applications and games.
Graphics
-
Type
The graphics adapter is responsible for rendering images on the screen. It can be integrated (part of the CPU) or discrete (on the motherboard) from NVIDIA or AMD. Choose an integrated GPU for basic tasks, and a discrete GPU for gaming or demanding app.
-
GPU model
GPU Model — the specific graphics card model with its own features and capabilities. The letter prefix (e.g., GeForce RTX) indicates the performance class, while the numbers denote the generation and position within the lineup.
-
GPU Memory, GB
GPU Memory — the amount of dedicated high-speed memory on the graphics card, where game data and certain applications are loaded for fast processing and display. This specification is especially important for gaming.
Memory
The more RAM, the more programs your laptop can run simultaneously.
-
Type
Each new generation of RAM consumes less power, allowing for higher bandwidth and faster system performance. The most energy-efficient variants are labeled with the "LP" prefix, indicating Low Power memory—ideal for mobile and ultra-thin devices.
-
RAM, GB
RAM Capacity — the amount of memory installed in the device. A larger capacity ensures smoother performance and faster response. For resource-intensive tasks, at least 8 GB of RAM is recommended.
-
Memory slots
Number of RAM Slots — determines the maximum amount of memory the device can support. A device can have up to 4 slots, either occupied or empty. Maximum performance is achieved when using a pair of modules: 2 × 8 GB outperforms a single 16 GB module.
-
Max memory, GB
Maximum RAM — the highest amount of system memory the device can support. This limit depends on the number of memory slots available and the maximum capacity of a single memory module per slot.
Display
-
Screen Size
Screen size affects the device’s dimensions and weight. It measures the distance between opposite corners in inches. Up to 14" are ultraportable, 14–16" versatile, 17.3"+ for desktop replacement.
-
Resolution
Maximum resolution – the highest number of pixels a display can show, measured horizontally and vertically. Higher values provide more detailed and sharper images. The most common resolution is 1920 × 1080.
-
Panel Type
The panel type affects display quality. Different panels vary in color, contrast, and viewing angles. TN panels are affordable and fast. IPS panels offer wider angles and more accurate colors, while OLED delivers the best quality.
-
Refresh rate
Refresh rate — the number of frames displayed on the screen per second. A higher refresh rate ensures smoother visuals. For everyday tasks, 60 Hz is sufficient, while a refresh rate of 120 Hz or higher provides a competitive advantage in gaming.
-
Brightness, nits
Brightness (nits) — the measure of a display’s maximum luminance. A bright screen ensures comfortable use outdoors or in poorly lit environments. For everyday use at home or in the office, a brightness level of 220–250 nits is usually sufficient.
-
Touchscreen
Touchscreen devices let you interact using your fingers or a stylus. The display can recognize up to ten simultaneous touches, making it convenient for taking notes or sketching directly on the screen.
-
Display surface
Screen surfaces can be glossy or matte. Glossy displays look attractive and work well with touch input. Matte screens with anti-glare coating reduce reflections from sunlight or bright lamps.
Storage
Internal storage.
-
SSD capacity
M.2 SSD — a solid-state drive with an M.2 interface. Depending on the device model and class, the M.2 slot can accommodate drives supporting data transfer via SATA, PCIe, or NVMe protocols (listed in order of increasing performance).
Preloaded OS
With a preinstalled operating system, your laptop is ready to use right out of the box — no need to spend time installing the OS or drivers.
Battery life
Indicates how long the laptop can operate on a single charge.
-
Battery capacity, Wh
Battery Capacity — defines how much power the battery can deliver over time, regardless of current or voltage.
-
Battery life
Battery Life — the maximum time the device can operate without being connected to a power source. Many factors affect battery life, from hardware configuration to the tasks being performed.
-
Fast charging
Rapid Charging – allows the battery to regain power in a short amount of time. The lower the battery level, the faster the charging process occurs.
Keyboard
Highlights keyboard features that affect ease of use, such as a numeric keypad, backlighting, or spill resistance.
-
Keyboard (backlit)
The keys are illuminated with either a single backlight for the entire keyboard or individual LEDs for each key. Backlighting makes typing, gaming, and app control easier. Depending on the device model, the backlight can be single-color or RGB.
-
Ukrainian language
Ukrainian layout — keys are marked with Ukrainian alphabet letters alongside Latin characters, making it easier and faster to type in Ukrainian.
Connectivity
Which wireless networks the laptop can connect to.
-
3G/4G
Supports connectivity to 3G and 4G mobile networks, allowing you to stay online wherever coverage is available. The 4G (LTE) standard delivers faster data transfer speeds.
-
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology widely used in consumer and industrial devices—including computers, smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs—to connect to the internet without the need for physical cables.
-
