Laptop Buying Guide for 618 Sales (Continuously Updated)

We use different colors to mark different product positions, roughly divided into three categories:Gaming Laptops、All-Purpose Laptops、Ultrabooks。

1. Red is for gaming laptops, primarily used for gaming, and they are also the choice with higher configuration performance in the same price range. High-end gaming laptops are suitable for e-sports enthusiasts and 3A game professionals.
2. Yellow is for all-purpose laptops, which are both lightweight and have good performance, but they are not as thin and light as ultrabooks, and their gaming performance can only handle games with lower graphics quality. High-end all-purpose laptops are suitable for graphic design and video editing professionals.
3. Ultrabooks, without a dedicated graphics card, are suitable for business people and those who require high portability. They are not suitable for deep gaming, and high-end ultrabooks are suitable for elite business professionals.

【Improvements this issue】

  1. Added ThinkPad neo 14

  2. Added (old model) Lenovo Savior R9000X

  3. Removed (old model)Lenovo Savior R7000P（RTX3060 version has limited supply）

【Note】Although Intel’s 12th generation Core processors and AMD’s new 6000 series Ryzen processors have already been released, laptops with these two new processors are very rare, and it is even difficult to find new ultrabooks recommended in the high-end price range. Therefore, you will see many (old model) laptop recommendations in this article, aimed at meeting the needs of users with urgent purchasing needs.

【Q&A】Q：Why are some product prices incorrect?A：Distributors will adjust prices based on inventory, and global epidemics have caused significant price fluctuations, which is normal.
Q：Why did you delete most laptops but keep a few old models?A：Because some new products have been released, but not all, and a small number of old stocks are still worth purchasing, so they are temporarily retained.
Q：Why have some new products been released but the laptop bar has not recommended them?A：Most laptops are purchased and tested by the laptop bar evaluation room, so when manufacturers do not provide evaluation machines, and e-commerce platforms are generally out of stock, we cannot quickly obtain computers for testing.We will wait until we test the real machine before deciding whether to recommend it.
Q：I’m interested in a laptop that has been officially released, why hasn’t the laptop bar tested and recommended it?A：Because the laptop bar evaluation room is located in Shanghai, and Shanghai has just unsealed and resumed work for a few days, we are rushing to “catch up on work” for testing.
