12 best laptops with IPS matrix

When compiling a rating of the best laptops with an IPS matrix, we were guided by many factors: configuration of components, usability, dimensions, weight and reliability. Each of the models presented below and its modification has its own flavor and advantages. It should be understood that such panels are not installed in budget models, so the price of laptops is quite high, but there really is something to pay for.

Which is better SWA, TN or IPS

In the bulk of laptops, manufacturers install a screen matrix developed on the basis of TN + film or VA technologies. Such a screen has poor color accuracy and saturation. Even with the smallest change in the viewing angle, the color characteristics become severely distorted.

In addition to the aforementioned drawback, when working with a laptop for a long time, the user's eyes get very tired. Despite this, manufacturers, due to the low cost of such matrices, install them in all lines of laptops, from the most budgetary solutions to the premium class.

Screens produced using IPS - matrices have a maximum viewing angle at which colors are not distorted, saturated and accurately reproduce the entire gamut of colors and shades perceived by the human eye. Unlike TN and VA screens, the cost of IPS panels is significantly higher. Therefore, if you choose a laptop of the same price, with different displays, you need to sacrifice performance or opt for a high-quality display.

We recommend choosing laptops with an IPS screen if the user does not need the sky-high performance that in most cases is needed either by gamers or professional developers of demanding software products. Nevertheless, if you need high-quality video viewing or work in programs to create or edit graphics, then the selected panel type is perfect for these purposes.

The best laptops with an IPS screen

When describing all the devices, we took into account the fact that screens with an IPS matrix are much better than screens with TN and VA, but they mainly differ only in resolution, and the picture quality and richness of color reproduction are excellent for all models.

The first in the ranking of laptops with an IPS matrix is ​​the Acer Aspire 5. At a reasonable price, this unit offers a fresh processor from Intel and a nimble 256 GB solid-state drive.

Unfortunately, the Aspire 5 reached the domestic market only in the classic black color. But if you are planning to buy this inexpensive laptop overseas, then look at other colors, including blue and red. In appearance, the devices for different regions are almost the same.

Please note that 8 GB of RAM is soldered here on the motherboard, and the manufacturer does not provide the ability to expand the memory.

The keyboard of the RedmiBook 14 is standard, and it is pleasant to type on it. Truncated up / down arrows are a feature of most laptops, so there is no point in criticizing this decision.
