How to choose a 17-inch laptop on Black Friday
When it comes down to it, the biggest question that comes with any 17-inch laptop is what sort of usage you are going to have. If you’re just looking for a larger screen for watching content, browsing the web, and productivity, then you can get away with pretty much any 17-inch laptop, especially since most of them tend to have reasonably good specs. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a gaming laptop, then you’ll want to prioritize something with a good GPU, since larger screens tend to come with 2K resolutions, and you’ll need a beefier GPU to handle that.
Speaking of GPUs, if you do want to go for a gaming option, it’s worth noting that GPUs for laptops tend to be mobile versions that are a lot less powerful since they have to fit in a smaller space, meaning they have to be throttled down to not overheat. Another thing worth noting is that you really should be aiming for a minimum of 8GB for any laptop and 16GB if you want to go for a gaming version. Storage can vary based on your needs, but you can always check out these external hard drive deals or expand your internal storage with these SSD deals.
