"Laptop for work", "workhorse", "office laptop" - these devices are called differently, but the essence is the same. It would seem, what such special requirements can be placed on a laptop for working with ordinary office applications and surfing the web in a couple of dozen tabs? Well, if you find out what those workhorses are like in 2021, you will hardly want to go back to the old ones. Let's see what you can get now for 50-60 thousand rubles. An example would be the Honor MagicBook X 15 laptop.

Compactness and lightness

There is no need to explain anything here: who wants to carry a heavy laptop every day? Just a few years ago, that same average "workhorse" weighed more than two kilograms and was five centimeters thick, and there was no choice. If you need a computer, carry it. Now - praise be to the God of progress - the main working tool does not at all burden existence and movement. The Honor MagicBook X 15 weighs 1.56 kg and is 16.9 mm thick, which is about the same as a couple of magazines.

Long battery life

Previously, in the corridors of large corporations, by a working laptop in hand, it was easy to understand who is an ordinary employee, and who is at least the head of a department. The first ones go to a meeting not only with a computer but also with a charger for it, because the available models worked then at best for two or three hours.

Now a laptop for 50-60 thousand can easily do without recharging a whole working day. Test packets have shown that in the office Honor MagicBook mode works more than 11 hours.

Well, and a small bonus from this energy efficiency: low energy consumption from the battery means low heat generation into the environment. This means that the laptop stays cool and the fans are quiet.

Fast charging

Most often, there is time to recharge a laptop: either, in fact, at the workplace, or at night at home. But if something went wrong, then the ability to quickly fix everything turns out to be the most valuable. Therefore, a good working laptop should not only discharge slowly, but also charge quickly. Honor MagicBook X 15 fully charges in an hour and a half, and the battery reaches 70% in an hour (for a lunch break, for example).

Bright, flicker-free screen

Not only are old CRTs bad for your eyesight, bad LCD screens can flicker and tire your eyes too. The fact is that in the overwhelming majority of cases, the so-called PWM (pulse width modulation) is used to control the brightness of the backlight - the backlight turns on and off quickly and quickly. The higher the set brightness, the more time it spends in the on state. And here the most important factor is the frequency of this very PWM. If it is low, there will be noticeable flicker, which can tire the eyes. If it is high - for example, we measured 6 kHz for the Honor MagicBook X 15 - then no flickering will be visible, and you can comfortably work behind such a screen for a long time.

Robust metal body

Throwing a laptop, of course, should not be, but physics is physics: metal is stronger than plastic, it protects the filling more reliably, and even a tangible blow will not split it, but only in the worst case will leave a dent. And, frankly, the metal case is stylish and beautiful.

The fingerprint scanner

A long, complex password is very important for data security and safety. It gets by with the complexity of memorization and, obviously, the time to enter, and every day, many times a day.

To keep a good strong password from creating problems, the Honor MagicBook X 15 has a fingerprint scanner. It is built into the power button, works quickly and leaves the password as a backup option for logging into the system.

Powerful processor

It may seem strange, but a productive processor, although important in a working laptop, does not make sense to put it at the beginning of the list of requirements. And because now even the younger Intel Core i3s provide quite comfortable work with office applications and the browser (and the Honor MagicBook X 15 has a version with Intel Core i5). And because fast memory and SSDs make a big contribution to good system responsiveness.
