Laptops «New Generation»
A new certification label for a new category of PC
The new generation of PC is a name given by Microsoft to its ultraportable laptops. In order to have that name, the laptops have to carry specific equipment and functions.
The operating system should be Windows in order to run Windows Ink and Windows Hello. On the performance side, the processor has to be at least an Intel 8th gen and the laptop should carry an SSD in order to comply with the weight, size and speed regulations set by Microsoft. The RAM should at least be 4GB, and the working autonomy at least 8 hours in order to be used regularly without having to charge it.
On the design side, the laptop should be light and thin. That means that it should not be more than 2 KG and should not be thicker than 2cm when it is closed.
