Note that all the above models are discrete. Actually, for a configuration with discrete graphics, it is the model of a separate video adapter that is indicated; if it is supplemented by an integrated module, the name of this module can be clarified by the official characteristics of the processor.
It is also worth mentioning that this paragraph does not give the full name of the model, but only its name within the series (the series itself is given separately - see above). However, knowing the series and model, one can easily find detailed information about the graphics card.
Video memory
The amount of native video memory installed in the laptop's graphics card. Only discrete video adapters and their advanced varieties like SLI or Dual Graphics have such memory (see "Video card type").
The more memory, the more powerful the graphics card and the better it can handle complex graphics. Of course, the specific capabilities of the adapter depend on a number of other parameters (primarily the characteristics of the graphics processor); however, the difference in the amount of memory, as a rule, is quite consistent with the difference in the overall level. In terms of specific numbers, solutions with
2 GB are entry-level,
4 GB and
6 GB are intermediate, and
8 GB - to advanced, and
12 GB and
16 GB can be found in top-end gaming laptops and high-end workstations.
3DMark06
The result shown by the laptop's graphics card in 3DMark06.
This test primarily determines how well a graphics card handles intensive workloads, in particular, with detailed 3D graphics. The test result is indicated in points; the more points, the higher the performance of the video adapter. Good 3DMark06 scores are especially important for
gaming laptops and advanced workstations. However, it is difficult to call them reliable, since measurements are made on video cards with different TDPs and an overall average score is given. Thus, your laptop can have either more or less than the specified result - it all depends on the TDP of the installed video card.
3DMark Vantage P
The result shown by the laptop graphics card in the 3DMark Vantage P test.
Vantage P is a variant of the popular 3DMark test — namely, the next version of this test after 3DMark06 (see above). Like all such tests, it is designed to test the performance of graphics under high loads and displays the results in points; the more points, the more powerful and performant the graphics card is. Good results in 3DMark Vantage P are especially important if the laptop is going to be used for demanding games. However, it is difficult to call them reliable, since measurements are made on video cards with different TDPs and an overall average score is given. Thus, your laptop can have either more or less than the specified result - it all depends on the TDP of the installed video card.
M.2 drive size
The size of the M.2 SSD module (see "Drive Type") installed in the laptop. Specified in the format "width x length".
This parameter primarily allows you to evaluate the amount of space allocated for the drive, and the possibility of replacing it with a module of a different size. It is worth noting here that the M.2 standard itself allows several options for length and width, but boards with a width of 22 mm are most widely used. The length of such a board usually corresponds to one of the standard options: 30 mm, 42 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm and 110 mm.
In general, the installation of a shorter module of the same width (for example, 22x42 mm instead of 22x60 mm) does not cause problems, but the possibility of using larger components should be clarified separately — not every case allows the installation of M.2 drives with a larger one than the standard module , length. As for specific dimensions, the most common in modern laptops is M.2 22x80 mm SSDs: this size is guaranteed to allow you to change the “native” drive to almost any 22 mm standard module (except for the largest, 22x110 mm — and even for them there can be a place ). There are also smaller sizes — 22x60 mm, 22x42 mm and even 22x30 mm — but much less frequently. And here it is worth saying that the shorter the length of the SSD module, the smaller its capacity, usually.
Note that modern laptops also use M.2 modules of a different width — usually 16 mm with a length of 20 mm (16x20 mm). H...owever, this is a very rare option.
