A modern student cannot do without a computer. But how do you choose a technique to suit your child's needs? How not to get confused about the options?
The choice of computer largely depends on the age of the child.
Primary classes
A stationary device is best for young children. Parents often think that a laptop, despite the fact that it is more expensive, is much more compact and more convenient. But the child cannot be put on the sofa and offered to engage in a crooked position. Posture and vision can deteriorate from this. You can also choose a candy bar. But it has a drawback: when it is outdated, it will be difficult to update it.
If you are not familiar with technology, buy a device with basic functions. Later it can be equipped with everything you need. You are not sure that you will be able to install the "filling" yourself - call the wizard. It will still be cheaper than buying a ready-made gadget. In addition, the specialist will customize the computer based on the child's needs.
A dual-core processor with at least 4 GB of RAM is enough to start. The volume of the hard disk is at least 500 GB. The diagonal of the monitor is from 17 to 21 inches. The smaller one will be cheaper, but then do not count on a high-quality image, and your eyes will get tired. Pay attention to the screen resolution. The higher it is, the clearer the picture will be.
Nowadays, few people use discs. External drives are preferred, so you can opt out of a CD / DVD drive. If you buy assembled components, you will be able to lower your expenses a little.
Before buying a computer, check if the operating system and antivirus are installed. Their presence will avoid additional costs. This also applies to office programs.
high school
Older children can already process photos and videos, get involved in programming, use many programs and applications, and make presentations. All this requires upgrading your computer. You will need more RAM (16 GB should be enough), the video memory will have to be strengthened by purchasing a new video card.
High school students
For a graduate, mobile technology is convenient, that is, a laptop. The student will be able to study anywhere, take him to lessons or to a tutor. And in the future it will come in handy in a higher educational institution. Check the battery life before purchasing. A good indicator is 10 hours. Check how many USB ports the gadget has. It is better if there are at least three of them. The amount of RAM from 16 to 64 GB on the hard disk. Don't go after ultra-thin models, they are very fragile. The presence of an LTE modem will allow you to use the Internet when Wi-Fi is not available. This is very convenient, but rather expensive devices are equipped with it, so you should understand whether this is really necessary.
