Would you like to buy a laptop for your studies and are you still looking for information? Here are some tips on which laptops to choose and what to avoid.<\/p>\n
The first tip, regardless of all other considerations, is this: the device should have at least 8 GB of RAM. Currently, most laptops already meet this need. AMD or Intel doesn’t matter at the moment. Next, you should ask yourself if you would like to do one or more of the following on the device: play games, do AI video\/photo editing? Then a dedicated graphics card should be installed in the notebook. NVIDIA is particularly suitable due to better software support for AI and also partly for photo editing. For (more complex) programming, you should plan for a more powerful processor and more RAM (16+GB).<\/p>\n
For versatile usage<\/strong>: Most general consumer oriented devices can be of interest (see list below), these are generally cheaper, but do not have particularly long support (e.g., firmware updates). They are also partly processed, a little worse than business models.<\/p>\n For studying only<\/strong>: Here we would rather recommend the business models, if affordable (see lists below). These are geared more towards business applications, e.g., with chip card readers etc. and receive firmware updates for much longer. The manufacturers also offer different ‘flavours’ here, for example ThinkPad T-Series are very sturdily built laptops, while the P-Series contains more high-performance laptops. If you only do “office” work, a laptop without a dedicated graphics unit as above is sufficient for you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Windows should be supported by almost all devices without any problems. Unfortunately, for Linux, you have to check whether the specific hardware of the devices will be supported. Fingerprint sensors or WLAN chipsets in particular can be affected. More info here (external link<\/a>) and a list of hardware and how well it is supported here (external link<\/a>). For macOS, you look for a price-matching MacBook.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nLast question: Windows, Linux, macOS, or something else?<\/h4>\n

Zu den Anforderungen: M\u00f6chtest du einen vielseitigen Laptop, ggf. sogar um Computerspiele zu spielen oder brauchst du nur einen f\u00fcr die meisten Dinge im Studium?<\/h4>\r\nFalls ersteres<\/strong>: Hier bieten sich, wenn es g\u00fcnstig sein soll, die meisten Consumerger\u00e4te an (siehe Liste unten), diese sind im generellen g\u00fcnstiger, aber haben keinen besonders langen Support (z.B. Firmwareupdates) und sind teils auch etwas schlechter verarbeitet als die Gesch\u00e4ftskundenmodelle.\r\n\r\nFalls nur f\u00fcr Studiendinge<\/strong>: Hier w\u00fcrden wir eher zu den Businessmodellen raten, wenn das Geld es zul\u00e4sst (siehe Listen unten). Diese sind im allgemeinen etwas mehr auf Gesch\u00e4ftsanwendungen ausgerichtet, z.B. mit Chipkartenlesern etc. und bekommen wesentlich l\u00e4nger Firmwareupdates. Auch bieten die Hersteller hier verschiedene Flavors an, zum Beispiel sind Modelle der ThinkPad T-Serie sehr stabil gebaute Laptops, w\u00e4hrend die P-Serie eher Hochleistungslaptops beinhaltet. Falls nur \"Office\" T\u00e4tigkeiten gemacht werden, reicht wie oben ein Laptop ohne dedizierte Grafikeinheit.\r\n\r\n \r\n
Letzte Frage: Windows, Linux, macOS oder sonstiges?<\/h4>\r\nWindows sollte von quasi allen Ger\u00e4ten problemlos unterst\u00fctzt werden. F\u00fcr Linux muss man leider etwas gucken, ob die spezifische Hardware in den Ger\u00e4ten unterst\u00fctzt wird, besonders Fingerabdrucksensoren oder WLAN-Chips\u00e4tze k\u00f6nnen davon betroffen sein. Mehr Infos dazu hier (externer Link<\/a>) und eine Liste von Hardware und wie gut diese unterst\u00fctzt wird hier (externer Link<\/a>). F\u00fcr macOS suche man sich einen preislich passendes MacBook raus. Hier sollte man aber beachten, dass es Probleme mit den Modellen mit M1-Chips\u00e4tzen geben kann, sollte man Hardwarenah arbeiten bzw. programmieren wollen. Das ist u.A. in Modulen der IT-Sicherheit h\u00e4ufiger der Fall.\r\n
