I'm looking for a used notebook, what should I pay attention to?
Should the corei5 be a new generation or should I rather pay attention to a large RAM?
I like to write on several documents at the same time (sometimes paint, PPP and excel open) and watch a video.
How much should the maximum cost?
I would pay attention to an SSD on which the operating system is installed, a 1TB hard drive (HDD), at least 8Gb RAM and at least one i5 of the 3 or 4 generation (if possible without U in the name (eg I5 2500U))
With the low requirements you need to pay attention to nothing. Maybe on a removable hard drive for an SSD.
Thank you. Why without U?
Because most U processors are just 2 kernels with hyperthreading. So there are i3, i5 and i7 processors that are almost all the same, you only pay more. An i7 you may have a 300Mhz higher clock than the i5, but costs much more.
It would be much easier if you also call a budget.
My over 7 year old laptop has an i5 2410m, 8GB of RAM. And that's enough for your tasks!
You get for under 450 euro but also already new with such specifications!
It is important that an SSD is installed, otherwise it will take a while to boot and programs will load forever.
These are the bad CPUs
Is M better than U?
M CPUs usually have twice the power consumption, so they can provide more power. However, these CPUs are just like the U CPUs with only 2 cores 4 threads. They are better, but not as good as CPUs with the abbreviation QM or HQ. These then have the full cores and even better performance through more approved power consumption.
