Which laptop is best for movies?

I would like to buy a laptop to watch (only) films / Netflix and on the go dvds (I travel a lot by bus and train)

my price range is "up to 500 euro"

now my question (s):

is a laptop with dualcore better or rather Intelcore? And what do I have to pay attention to when buying?

I can currently only buy the laptop through Amazon. So if you bought a laptop yourself and have good experiences please write it to me with the link on ☺️

A FullHD display (1920x1080) with an IPS panel is important. The rest is rather unimportant. Whether AMD or Intel (processor) does not matter for watching movies. Of course, a CD drive is also important, which most new 350-500 euro laptops no longer have. Then you need an external USB drive or similar.

Unfortunately I do not know if this is already available for 500 euro, but for films I would recommend a laptop with an OLED screen, because watching films is so much more fun

Va

You can only get them for a lot more money.

Thanks ☺️

Why IPS? OLED is much better for films

Va

But it does not exist in the price range.

So, first of all there's no comparison between "dualcore" and "intelcore". A "dual-core" processor has two cores (logical). Then there are quad (4), hexa (6) and octa (8). After that, the processors are only called tencore, twelvecore, etc. What resolution do you want to watch? And why only from Amazon? It should also be added that there are Intel and AMD. These are different manufacturers with different CPUs. In your price range there will only be dual and quad core.

Oh well, because it's different with cell phones

So I found some laptops now I don't know if they are good. The description:

HP Slimbook Ryzen 5 3500U 8-Thread 3.7 GHz CPU (15.6 inch Full-HD) Notebook (512GB SSD M2, 8GB DDR4, AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, DVD ± RW, WLAN, Bluetooth, USB 3.0, Win 10 Prof., MS Office) # 6408

The cheapest OLED laptop starts at 1500 euro. Sure, because cell phones have smaller displays.

I don't have such high demands, just so that it isn't always so boring during the train journey (from NRW to Berlin).

Lo

But that doesn't depend on the processor, but on the display (resolution and color rendering)

Va

Sounds pretty good at first. Which model is that exactly? And how much does it cost?

kn

It costs 499 euro

which model that is. Good question. Unfortunately I didn't find it, but if you want you can copy my comment and enter it in the search window at Amazon, then you will see which one is.

Va

There's a choice of Ryzen 5 2500U while the description shows Ryzen 5 3500U. It's funny. I'm just looking for alternatives.

Lo

Here would be a relatively acceptable laptop: https://geizhals.de/...at&hloc=de
