The computer has long been an integral part of the life of modern man. These devices vary in purpose and have different characteristics. Our rating presents models of the best computers in 2022

A PC (personal computer) is a multifunctional device that modern man uses for work, study, web surfing and entertainment.

Computers, first of all, differ in power and performance and are focused on certain tasks.

Also, computers are different in types:

  • Stationary (desktop) - a small PC that is convenient to place on the table;
  • Monoblock – a PC in which the system unit and the monitor are combined into one device;
  • Tower is a computer with an elongated case, which is placed under the table.

Our rating is divided into 4 relevant segments:

For working from home For such a task, you do not need high power - a processor with a capacity of no more than 2.6 GHz, a ram capacity of at least 4 GB, as well as an SSD capacity of 256 GB are enough. Such a computer is suitable for working in simple applications (for example, Word), and with several simultaneously open programs, the speed of functioning will be low, so it is better to pay attention to models with RAM from 8 GB;
For design The "heart" of such a computer is a video card. Of the popular models, it is worth paying attention to the GeForce models. Also an equally important parameter is a productive processor and a ram capacity of at least 8 GB;
For games Such computers should have the most powerful hardware. For modern games, you need to choose models with at least 16 GB of RAM, with an Intel processor not lower than i3 and NVIDIA graphics. Also important is a high-quality cooling system;
Low-cost computers These PCs are suitable for simple tasks (surfing the Internet, working in text editors). They have minimal power parameters and graphics. You can choose such a computer for studying or working on the Internet.

How to choose a computer

First of all, you need to decide on the purpose. This depends on the power of the computer and its cost. The most expensive are game models. They have maximum equipment: a powerful processor, professional graphics and a multi-level cooling system. It is better to pay attention to components from Intel and NVIDIA, which have many lines for gamers of various levels. Many also like the AMD Radeon processor, which is similar in specs to Intel, but has a lower cost. Also, such devices are suitable for design, photo and video editing.

For home use and household tasks, inexpensive PCs with minimal parameters (memory from 4 GB and components related to budget lines) are suitable. Pay attention to computers of well-known brands. Usually, such manufacturers choose the optimally successful combination of components for maximum performance.

Expert feedback on computers for the home

Personal experience of using the computer was shared by the expertYuri Semendyaev, Director of 4GEO LLC:

"I'm a PC user with an Intel i5 processor, 20GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. I work with Word electronic documents, edit Excel tables with a large number of formulas in cells. I actively use the Internet to search for information and communication. Basically, up to hundreds of tabs of various sites are open in the browser, which can hang there for weeks. I use Ubuntu Linux, as it saves me from fearing for my data and the need to update antiviruses. "
