On this page you find an overview of the most important technical specifications at the products and how to interpret them. This shall help you to find a suitable device. 

The labels that are used at u:book indicate special features of the devices.

Technical data

Main processor (CPU) 

u:books are powerful laptops, so almost all devices are equipped with an Intel Core i5, AMD Razor 5, Apple M1 processor or higher.

The number of processing cores and the basic clock frequency are specified, for example 4 x 2.4 GHz. The more processing cores a processor has and the higher the clock frequency, the more powerful it is.

 

Random-access memory (RAM) 

How much RAM you need depends on what you want the computer to do at the same time.

u:books have enough RAM to run the operating system, office applications and browser smoothly in multitasking mode. With many u:books, the RAM can also be increased at any time.

 

Mass storage (SSD) 

u:book devices have SSD memory. These are very fast both when reading and writing and operate silently. SSDs are insensitive to vibrations. They do not heat up and weigh little. Last but not least, SSDs are energy-saving and thus conserve battery power.

Flash memory differs only in design, but not technically from SSD.

 

Graphics processor

Dedicated graphics cards with their own RAM offer high graphics performance. This is necessary, for example, for 3D-intensive applications or ambitious image processing. Devices equipped with them are marked with the corresponding label.

 

Screen

The screen size is stated in inches and the resolution in pixels. The higher the screen resolution in relation to the screen size, the finer the display.

IPS and OLED screens are characterised by a high level of realistic colour representation and are therefore particularly suitable for image editing. They have a high viewing angle stability. When looking at the screen from the side, colours, brightness and contrast are therefore preserved, so that even writing is easily legible.
