When it comes to thinkpad, everyone may be familiar with it. The student computer launched by thinkpad has caused a strong whirlwind in the notebook selection of college students because of its highly targeted functional design. Recently, thnkpad has launched seven or eight student phones. Each student computer has its own characteristics. Here, the editor will use one of them, the best-selling student computer, the Thinkpad student computer E440, as a model to evaluate the ThinkPad student computer. Please follow the editor and read below.
Hard disk part
In this option, E440 does not leave us much space, it is nothing more than 500G-1T, and most of the rotation speeds are the traditional 5400RPM. A small number of i3 versions have 7200RPM hard drives. There is indeed a slight difference from the testing process, but the actual results are almost the same. According to the strict performance level requirements, they will all pass. Capacity depends on your file storage requirements. If it is an i3 model, then your files are mostly various forms, which are mainly data. The space requirements are not high, so 500G is enough.
If you choose an i5 or i7 model, it means that your files are almost all large files of hundreds of megabytes or even GB, and they are all single, so even 1TB of space is actually not enough. Therefore, in addition to the maximum hard drive space that comes with the E440, you also need to buy a mobile hard drive or an external fixed hard drive.
If you are not satisfied with the capacity, you can only choose the HDD+SSD hybrid model with limited stock based on the original. Although the E440 of this design has the disadvantage of too small SSD capacity (only 8G), the acceleration experience is very It is limited (switching on and off is faster, files are opening faster), but it is basically the only realistic option. Since the E440 does not have an mSATA design, the cost of modifying a SATA SSD is relatively high, but it is also the last option to consider (there are many ATA SSDs on the market for laptops, but they are all more expensive than traditional HDD hard drives) ).
Graphics card part
Except for software like 3DMAX, most work content does not involve graphics card issues, so the GT840M graphics card used in E440 This situation is generally only applicable to friends who are involved in more three-dimensional image processing. However, I would like to remind friends that GT840M is not a graphics card designed for professional fields, and it is not as good as the low-end NV FX series or AMD fire pro models in many aspects. The actual performance can only be used for basic 3D modeling tasks (such as home modeling in decoration renderings, product modeling without much optimization of triangle surfaces, or very simple game character modeling, etc.)
In fact, GT840M is a higher-end entertainment card (not a professional game card), which is generally used to play some low-level stand-alone and basic online games. In addition, although there are also specifications of 1G and 2G video memory, they are generally used. From the perspective of 64 processing width, the impact of video memory size on the display effect at work is second. Friends do not need to be too entangled in the size of video memory. It is not worth spending a few hundred yuan more for 1G of video memory. This point also needs friends. Attention.
About the screen
In fact, for notebooks like the E440 that are slightly more business-oriented, technologies such as IPS are basically out of the question. Our choice of screen effects There is no choice. For those who choose the i3 model E440, this is not a problem because the nature of the work determines that it does not need to be considered. However, those who buy the i5 and i7 models are recommended to choose a suitable external screen. For work, even if the size is not large enough, it is better to have a screen with better colors and viewing angles such as IPS or VA, which is also better for eye health.
From point to point, usually through the quality of a product and its comprehensive market reputation, you can know more or less what other products under this brand are like. Maybe you have read this After reading the above content, we already have a general understanding of ThinkPad student computers. As a popular notebook product specially designed for students, ThinkPad is not the most popular notebook product.Perfect, but still has rare advantages. Of course, when purchasing, everyone still needs to choose the most suitable computer product from a comprehensive perspective.
