Introduction

Laptops have become indispensable for professionals worldwide. Selecting the right laptop depends on your specific computing requirements and other factors. A laptop comprises various modules and components, such as the screen, keypad, fan, RAM, hard disk, touchpad, battery, antenna, and, crucially, the processor (CPU and GPU), along with battery management ICs.

The processor is arguably the most vital component. Significant advancements have been made in processor technology, focusing on aspects like the number of processing cores/threads, clock speed, graphics performance and frequency, and display support with resolution capabilities. Additional key parameters include reduced power consumption, efficient thermal management, and capabilities in machine learning and deep learning. Furthermore, modern processors incorporate enhanced image processing units, advanced security features, and support for WiFi and 5G wireless connectivity.
