Many college students, considering performance, will directly purchase high-performance gaming laptops. However, as a studious individual, you inevitably need to bring your laptop to places like classrooms, libraries, and clubs.

At this time, you may find that gaming laptops are not only very physically demanding but also have a poor battery life. The power adapter is as large as a brick, and the power cord is longer than life itself, which is very ostentatious and embarrassing.

In this situation, you might consider an all-purpose laptop. Although its performance is not as good as a gaming laptop, it has significant improvements in portability and battery life, making it more flexible in terms of usage scenarios.

Next is the recommendation section, which is divided into two parts:

The first part is the high-performance all-purpose laptop equipped with a dedicated graphics card. It can be considered a genuine all-purpose laptop, with overall configuration more inclined towards gaming laptops.

The second part is the all-purpose laptop using integrated graphics. This is a new product that has emerged in the past two years due to the significant improvement in the performance of integrated graphics, with overall configuration more inclined towards thin and light laptops.

Dedicated Graphics All-Purpose LaptopsROG Zephyrus 16 Air

Firstly, the first section recommends the ROG Zephyrus 16 Air as the first choice.

This model is accurately described as a thin and light creation, although the price is a bit expensive, but in terms of product quality, it is also worth the ticket price.

This time, the Zephyrus 16 Air has adopted a brand new mold, with a CNC metal body that has an excellent texture, and there is also a white option available. The overall performance release has reached 120W, which is an excellent level among similar notebooks.

At the same time, the Ultra 9 185H processor also provides good performance and battery life after power off. Because the Ultra processor has an independent NPU unit, it can also provide better performance and energy efficiency for some AI applications.

For example, video face tracking, smart matte cutting, and so on. With the construction of the future AI application ecosystem, the space that NPU can play will also become larger and larger.

Moreover, as a high-end line of ROG, the peripheral configuration is impeccable. The screen is a 2.5K 240Hz OLED Nebula screen, and the speakers use a six-speaker configuration with 2 high and 4 low, and the sound quality is currently in the first echelon. Users with sufficient budget can consider it.

MSI Stealth 16There is also a similarly positioned model, the MSI Phantom 16 AI Studio.

The main target audience is creative professionals, and the screen is equipped with a 2.5K 120Hz IPS display, which is good news for users who are not fond of OLED.

The battery capacity is directly increased to 99.9Wh, which is the maximum allowed on airplanes, and can provide good endurance when necessary.

However, portability and refinement are not as impressive as the Phantom 16 Air.

Next is the HP Zhan 99 discrete graphics version.

Recently, the discount is quite good, and the configuration of i5 and R7 with 4050 can be purchased within 6500 yuan, which is very cost-effective in the all-in-one discrete graphics laptop category. The Zhan 99 also inherits the traditional advantages of the Zhan series, with excellent expandability and endurance.

At the same time, after-sales service provides one year of free home visits and half a year of free 7*24-hour consultation, which is very friendly to computer novices.The downside is that the 50W power consumption is far from enough for the 4050, with a TimeSpy graphics score of only about 7500. Additionally, there are many optional versions of the "War 99", and it also offers workstation configurations with professional graphics cards, but the price is also very expensive. Professional users can take a look.

ThinkBook 16+

The last recommended model in the discrete graphics all-in-one category is the ThinkBook 16+ with a discrete graphics card.

The 7840H processor is paired with an RTX4050 with a power consumption of 90W. If you are not satisfied with the performance release of the "War 99", you can consider this model, which has excellent internal and external expandability.

Moreover, the travel weight is controlled at a little over 2.3kg, equivalent to the weight of a general game laptop without a power adapter, but the battery capacity is a bit small, and the price is also more expensive.

Nuclear Graphics All-in-One

Next is the recommendation for nuclear graphics all-in-one models. The processors of these all-in-one models are mainly Core Ultra and R7 high-performance Ryzen, and the nuclear graphics performance has reached the level of GTX1050ti to GTX1060.

In terms of gaming, this is more suitable for various online games, and some 3A masterpieces that are not very demanding in performance can also be played at medium to low quality.Here's a reminder: Although the performance can meet certain gaming needs, the gaming experience is far from that of models with dedicated graphics cards. Consider the integrated graphics performance as a bonus when buying a thin and light laptop.

HP ProBook 14

The first recommendation is the HP ProBook 14.

The R7 7840H processor, paired with 6400MHz high-frequency memory, can effectively utilize the performance of the 780M integrated graphics. With a 120Hz screen, it is capable of handling simple gaming during leisure time from work.

Moreover, the 14-inch body houses a large 68Wh battery, ensuring good battery life.

The downside is that it is a bit thicker and heavier than its competitors, but after all, it's a 14-inch product, and it's not that heavy.

ASUS TUF Gaming Pro 15

The second recommendation is the ASUS TUF Gaming Pro 15.In the mainstream first-tier brand Core Ultra thin and light laptops, it is quite recommended. You can choose the Ultra 5 125 and Ultra 7 155H processors. Although the performance is not very strong, it is truly thin and light in the same size models, and it feels like the old MacBook Pro when you pick it up.

The touchpad is also super large, and the screen is a 2.8K 120Hz OLED screen, which is a good screen from ASUS. The only downside is that the segmented chin is so big that it can dock two aircraft carriers, which is really not very good-looking. Fortunately, the texture of other parts of the body is online.

ThinkBook 14+

If you have higher requirements for performance, you can take a look at the ThinkBook 14+.

This generation has been upgraded with a brand new mold, and it provides 70W of performance in the Geek mode, which can fully utilize the performance of the Ultra processor.

Moreover, this computer also comes with a TGX graphics card expansion dock interface, which can be used with a desktop graphics card. According to some digital media tests, the performance loss of the graphics card dock when connected to an external screen is very small, which is quite usable.

At the same time, the screen quality and expandability of ThinkBook 14+ are also excellent. The screen is a 3K 120Hz OLED screen. The downside is that the volume is much thicker than the competitors, and the noise under high load is comparable to a gaming laptop.Mechrevo Boundless 14 Pro

Second and third-tier brands can consider the Mechrevo Boundless 14 Pro.

The R7 8845HS version, priced just over 4000 yuan, and the Ultra 5 32GB+2TB version, under 5000 yuan, are highly recommended.

Although the Ultra 5 version has already launched with a 16GB+1TB configuration, with the current SSD prices being so outrageous, it's quite cost-effective to upgrade to 32GB+2TB storage for an additional 500 yuan.

In addition to its cost-effective configuration, the 245g 100W gallium nitride power adapter is also a major highlight, significantly reducing travel weight.

The downside is the relatively low memory frequency, which results in weaker integrated graphics performance compared to processors of the same type. Additionally, Mechrevo's brand power has recently diminished, so everyone should weigh this for themselves.

These are all the versatile laptops recommended in this issue. I wonder which type of notebook you will choose?

When purchasing portable laptops, you can actually go to the computer city to try them out in person, as it's a computer that you will frequently pick up and put down. The overall craftsmanship and texture satisfaction is more important than that of a gaming laptop. However, also remember not to be deceived by some unscrupulous merchants.
