The basic principle of [cost-effectiveness] is to "match the demand." If a high-end gaming laptop costs 15,000 yuan and the price is reduced to 10,000 yuan, it will be very cost-effective for players who want to play "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", but if it is just for office use and Internet access, , What about users who use word? Spending 10,000 yuan to buy a notebook with this configuration is very cost-effective.
[Value for money] You can’t just consider the configuration and price, but also consider the brand, quality, etc.
Based on factors such as configuration, price, brand, quality, etc., we recommend ten cost-effective laptops below.
Top ten cost-effective laptops in 2022 (in no particular order)
NO1: Mechanical Revolution (MECHREVO) Unbounded 16 new products
Price: 5699 yuan
Weight: 1.7KG
Brief comment: I didn’t expect that the first launch of the i7-12700H core-based thin and light notebook was not Lenovo HP, nor DELL and ASUS, but the domestic brand Mechanical Revolution. Nowadays, standard voltage processors are increasingly found in thin and light laptops, which makes the living space of low-voltage laptops smaller and smaller. Unbounded 16, a 16-inch large-screen metal body, weighs only 1.7KG. Even without a discrete graphics card, it has a light and agile body as a standard laptop.
Configuration: i5-12500H/16G/512G/RTX3050Ti/15.6-inch 100%sRGB 165Hz View >>
Reservation price: 6699 yuan
Brief comment: The i5-12500H not only defeated the previous generation’s high-end model i7-11800H, but also eclipsed the flagship model i9-11980HK.
Why is the 12th generation i5 so powerful? The reason is that Core has been a large category from the 1st to 11th generation, and has undergone a qualitative change since the 12th generation. It adopts a hybrid architecture of P core + E core, and the IPC and energy consumption ratio have been greatly improved.
Dell gaming notebooks have always been conservative in style, but this one has caught up with the trend, with a GPU output of 95W and direct graphics card connection technology.
NO3: Acer’s new Shadow Knight Qing
Price: 6699 yuan
Brief comment: This model has three major highlights: First, it uses the latest 12th generation Core i5-12500H, which has powerful performance and surpasses the previous generation flagship model i9-11980HK. Second, the 95W full-blood version of the graphics card fully unleashes its performance. The third is the killer network card, which is usually only seen in high-end motherboards and high-end gaming notebooks. It can automatically detect the priority of tasks and has lower latency than ordinary network cards during games (especially in multi-tasking environments). .
Among global PC manufacturers, Acer ranked sixth in terms of sales volume in 2019. In February 2019, it also won the US e-sports notebook sales championship, with a market share of 23%.

Price: 7499 yuan
Weight: 2.0KG
Brief comment: ASUS has carefully listened to various complaints from users about the first generation, and Tianxuan 2 has upgraded "memory, hard disk, cooling, and network card". In Tianxuan 3, "dual graphics card three-mode switching" has been added, that is, you can use independent graphics output to increase the number of game frames, or you can only use core graphics to save power and improve battery life, or you can use mixed output to meet daily applications. It can be said that "almost no shortcomings can be found."
Configuration: i7-12700H/16G/512GSSD/RTX3050Ti/16.1-inch wide color gamut IPS View>>
Reservation price: 7299 yuan
Brief comment: Among the Shadow Elf series, the 6-liter 7 has the biggest changes. There are seven changes, namely - 1. Hardware upgrade to Core 11th generation and RTX30 series. 2. Cooling module upgrade. 3. The upper limit of power consumption is higher and the performance is fully released. 4. The screen has been upgraded from 15.6 to 16.1, supporting DC dimming. 5. Appearance upgrade. 6. Battery capacity upgrade. 7. Built-in game software center upgrade. Overall, the quality has gone up a notch.
The 7-liter 8 is mainly about the CPU motherboard and memory. It uses the latest 12th generation Core i7-12700H and DDR5-4800 memory, and the performance improvement is very considerable.
Side by side: HP vs. 66, fourth-generation 15.6-inch interface fully expandable
Weight: about 1.4kg
Price: 5299 yuan
Brief review: Zhan 66, just by looking at the name, it is a laptop that can fight wars. Compared with the third generation, the fourth generation has major upgrades in terms of CPU, graphics card and screen-to-body ratio. The CPU improvement is mainly reflected in IPC, with a range of up to 25%. The core display model of i5-1135G7 is Iris XE G7, and its performance is more than 3 times that of UHD630, which is approximately equivalent to MX250 independent graphics.
The main upgrade of the screen is the adoption of narrow bezels, which increases the screen-to-body ratio to 87.5%.
The Zhan 66 has passed 19 US Department of Defense MIL-STD-810G military standard certifications. It cannot be said that it has a King Kong body, but it is physically strong and can handle ordinary small falls and fights with no problem.
The station has 66 complete interfaces, including USB3.1, full-featured Type-C, HDMI1.1, RJ45, card reader, etc. Especially the RJ45 port. In places where the WIFI signal is not very good in the office, plugging a network cable directly is better than any wireless connection. Third, it has dual memory slots for easy expansion.

Secondly, it uses a 100% sRGB wide color gamut screen, 2.2K high resolution, DC dimming and flicker-free, and has passed the Rheinland low blue light certification.
Third, large-capacity battery, long battery life, fast charging, and rich interfaces.
NO9: Mechanical Revolution (MECHREVO) Z3 AIR cost-effective, thin and light gaming notebook
Configuration: i7-11800H/16G/512G solid state/RTX3050/15.6 inch 100% color gamut View >>
Price: 5699 yuan
Weight: 1.96KG
Brief comment: i7-11800H + RTX3050 + wide color gamut screen, a thin and light body of less than 2KG, and a price of less than 6K. This configuration should be placed in a first-tier brand, starting at least 6K. Moreover, it is not easy to achieve a 95W GPU in a thin and light gaming system. You must have passed the heat dissipation test to dare to do so.
Configuration: J-4125/12GB/256G solid state/15.6-inch IPS screen/ View >>
Price: 1699 yuan
Weight: 1.6KG
Brief comment: Shangsheng is one of the four little dragons in the Internet installed base. It has entered the field of notebooks. If you compare brands, its competitors are Lenovo, HP, Asus... It is incomparable, but it provides a price of less than 2K, making second-hand Pontus was eclipsed. The webmaster believes that there needs to be a place for the 1XXX price range in the list.
There are currently three main models of Climbing notebooks, P1, P1X and P2. The processors of P1 and P1X are J4125. P1 has no advantage in weight. The processor of P2 is N5100, which is a little newer, but the performance is not much different from J4125. The price is 300 more expensive. From various angles, P1X is more cost-effective.
Intel J-4125 uses Gemini Lake architecture and does not belong to the Core family. Since it has four cores and four threads, its performance is higher than the Core i5-6200U (dual core and four threads), and it can be used for office, video, online classes and other applications.
