The keyboard is backlit, making it easier to type in the dark or dim lighting.

Through the use of power-efficient components that do not produce large amounts of heat, a device can be made that doesn’t use cooling fans. This results in a much quieter, or even silent, device.

For example

Best

You can detach the keyboard of your device and use the screen as a tablet. Detaching the keyboard makes the device lighter and gives you the possibility to switch easily between laptop-mode and tablet-mode. The keyboard is included when buying the device.

For example

Uses LED backlighting, resulting in better image quality, more vibrant colors and richer blacks.

IPS (In-Plane Switching) is a technology used for LCDs. It was designed to overcome the main limitations of normal TFTs TN-matrices: relatively slow response times, small viewing angles and low quality color reproduction.

For example

Best

It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.

Best

Flash-based storage devices such as SSDs have no mechanical components. Due to this they are typically faster, run silently, and are more shock resistant than traditional HDDs.

For example

Best

Best

More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.

Best

More USB 3.0 ports allow you to connect more devices to your computer that support USB 3.0. USB 3.0 is an improved version of USB 2.0 which offers faster transfer rates.

Best

More HDMI ports mean that you can simultaneously connect numerous devices, such as video game consoles and set-top boxes.

Best

The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.

For example

The device can connect to WiFi.

RJ-45 ports are used for LAN (Local Area Network) connections. With more ports you can achieve increased bandwidth across a LAN, or connect to multiple networks. It also has the added benefit of not losing connection to the network if one fails.

A front camera, also called secondary camera, can be used for video chats/selfies.

Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.

GPS enables global positioning, useful in map, geo-tagging or navigation apps.

For example

More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.

Best

The clock multiplier controls the speed of the CPU.

Best

This benchmark measures the performance of the CPU using a single thread.

Best

This benchmark measures the performance of the CPU using multiple threads.

Best

A larger L2 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.

Best

A larger L1 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.

Best

OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
