We started wondering what the ideal laptop would be, because every user’s needs are different and it’s impossible, due to physical limitations, to create a gaming system with a battery that lasts many hours and is totally portable. . That is why we have instead focused on small points that can be improved or implemented in all computers of this type to make it much smaller.
What would the ideal laptop look like?
We are not going to talk about processors, memories or graphics cards, but about much more mundane things, small details that, if applied as we suggest, would make the user experience much better. In addition to the fact that they could be implemented in any of the subtypes of this type of computer.
Very poor quality webcam
The first of the peripherals that we find completely dispensable in a laptop is the webcam. What might come as a surprise to some in the age of telecommuting and corporate meetings, but even then most people have it turned off. If we talk about streaming, it is a device whose angle and quality are below the minimum required to broadcast on the Internet and, as if that were not enough, in many models this means that the computer laptop needs to be much larger than it actually is to accommodate it in the screen frame.
For us, an external webcam is always better that you can place where you want and give you enough video quality to stream or chat with your acquaintances. While removing the bezel 100% isn’t a good idea to protect the screen from keystrokes, removing the webcam from the screen bezel would make laptops a bit better. Additionally, we advocate selling it as a separate piece that we can place in any
Laptop speakers are a waste of space
The second thing is laptop speakers, if for some reason soundbars, wireless speakers or even headphones are used that’s why no one ever uses the built in speakers and in the end they end up decorating. Honestly, we’d much rather see manufacturers include a small soundbar as standard so you can plug it in when you need it than no built-in speakers. We prefer its space to be used for other more useful things inside our laptop case, like being able to fit a larger battery or other options that would improve the overall quality of the computer.
complete sound cards
Thirdly, and without leaving the subject of audio, we are not going to talk about a technology that we have a lot of, but that we lack in many laptops and that is the inclusion of an audio DAC advanced. Many headphones are delivered as standard and in the end when you have bought several they accumulate in the drawer. We are referring to boxes that connect to a USB 2.0 port and have a mini-jack at the end and output 5.1 or 7.1 sound.
Well, they should be inside the laptop, as part of its circuits and thus freeing up one of the USB ports so that we can connect more peripherals. Also, many desktop motherboards include full DACs, so we don’t see a problem that goes unsolved from laptops.
2.5 inch NVMe SSD
The disappearance of disks, hard drives and eventually SATA SSDs will be due to the fact that NVMe SSDs in the M.2 form factor are much faster when it comes to transferring and accessing data. However, these have a problem and that is that they don’t accept as many memory chips in their small space.
The best would be something of both worlds, a drive with the speed of NVMe SSDs, but with the ability to house multiple chips like 2.5-inch SSDs thanks to more space. Not as units sold separately, but as a standard configuration in our laptop, because thanks to this they would have greater capacity, but not less speed.
instant standby button
How about a button that instantly saves everything we do in flash memory, turns off the computer and allows us to take it with us without having to put it into sleep mode? Obviously, the grace would be to be able to retrieve the information simply by lifting the lid or pressing the button again. Well, it can be done with an SSD drive which uses SLC type cells and can sustain tens of thousands of write cycles. The purpose of it would not be to save data, but as a memory to recover the situation of our PC. How about never having to restart Windows again in your life? Is it okay to be able to continue your game where you left off? Of course, this would all depend on the battery life.
