The launch of a new operating system means for many users the opportunity to completely replace their current computer and embrace the brand-new platform. Despite what the market suggests, the selection remains huge, and finding the right model can be a bit tricky. Fortunately, online sales portals work for us with their statistics, and in the case of Amazon, these are the five most popular laptops with Windows 10.
Much is said about the computer market. The dominant opinion is that computer sales are still buried, tablets are starting to feel the first signs of fatigue, the phablet format is replacing older smartphones, and there is some progress in hybrid designs. Buying a computer no longer has the impact it used to. It has ceased to be a ritual or something that requires months of planning and study. Of course, an informed user will always easily escape the traps any seller sets (because there are traps, let's not fool ourselves), and to this we must add the reviews published by buyers, which, although they should not be taken as gospel, tend to serve as a reference. That brings us to Amazon, which is preparing for Black Friday that will begin next Friday. With the arrival of Windows 10, it is possible to find the five most popular laptops on the portal that include this operating system, and if you intend to change your hardware, you might want to take a look:
Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK
Its almost total dominance of the desktop is behind it, but no one denies that Dell continues to make some very interesting laptops. One of them is the Inspiron i7559-763BLK which comes with a quad-core Intel Core i5-6300HQ processor at 2.33 GHz, 8 GB of RAM, a 15.6-inch screen (1080p), 256 GB of solid-state storage, and an Nvidia GTX 960M graphics chip accompanied by 4 GB of memory. Fallout 4 on a laptop, maybe…?
ASUS Zenbook UX305LA
ASUS is fully immersed in the mobile device market, but that doesn't stop it from creating systems like the Zenbook UX305LA In just one and a half centimeters of thickness, ASUS managed to install an Intel Core i5-5200U, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of solid-state storage. The screen is 13.3 inches with 1080p support, and with a weight that doesn't exceed 1.3 kilograms, its portability is definitely assured.
Toshiba Satellite CL45-C/4335
According to Amazon, this system is the number one seller among new computers, and at that price we can understand it. The Intel Celeron N2840 might be a bit humble for many users, and the same applies to its 2 GB of RAM, but there's 64 GB of solid-state storage replacing the traditional hard drive, which should compensate for any performance concerns. Price? 267 dollars, and Amazon reports it as out of stock. I think that says it all.
ASUS F555LA-AB31
The list presents us with another model from ASUS, which evidently tries to offer a more general, or why not, traditional experience. The ASUS F555LA-AB31 includes an Intel Core i3-5010U processor at 2.1 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, optical drive, WiFi ac, and a 500 GB hard drive as the main storage unit. The screen size goes up to 15.6 inches and the native resolution is 1080p, but video is handled by the Intel processor.
Toshiba Satellite C55-C5241
The most popular Windows 10 laptop on Amazon, which tops the list and even beats two Chromebooks, is the Toshiba Satellite C55-C5241 Intel Core i5-5200U, 8 GB of RAM, a one-terabyte hard drive, DVD burner, Intel HD 5500 graphics, and a 15.6-inch screen at 1366 by 768 pixels define it without a doubt as a workhorse. Despite the importance of SSDs today, I'm sure this model tips the scales in its favor with the one-terabyte drive.
Well, this is where we've reached. It would be crazy to assume you'll find these exact models locally, but companies often release very similar variants depending on the region. Search, and compare. Good luck!
