The processor, or CPU (Central Processing Unit), is the heart and engine of the notebook. It contains millions of transistors that allow our machines to calculate and process all the data that we will see in form of different results, as text, image, video, applications, games, etc.

Basically, the notebook CPUs are similar to the desktop ones, but designed for way lower power consumption and temperature. There are cases, though, were the laptop makers included desktop CPUs in their models to get a positive performance hit. This would cause on normal basis, (and on the negative side), a drain for the battery duration and excess of temperature for the notebook itself, so from NotebookDeluxe we do not recommend this option unless certain requirements are met for the notebook (specially high performance).

In the actual days* there are two major CPU producers, being Intel and AMD, and while is… Read more
