With a laptop for your studies, with which you can also work creatively, you should pay attention to a few important specifications.
In order to get through a whole day at the university, your new laptop needs a sufficiently long battery life. We recommend a runtime of at least six hours. This is usually enough for a day, even if there is no socket nearby for a long time.
For this reason alone, laptops with AMD Ryzen™ processors are perfect for everyday university life. The intelligent battery management of the processors ensures the longest possible battery life.
Other important factors are the weight and size – after all, you probably regularly transport the laptop to the university in your backpack. Make sure it weighs less than 2 kilograms and has a maximum display size of 16 inches.
But what good is a lightweight laptop with long battery life if it doesn’t deliver performance? The AMD processors in the following laptops provide the performance needed to learn, render, edit, and export creative projects. In this way, you can also implement your creative work on the move without any loss of performance.
