Description
The lower-priced configuration of the Nordan Book 15, for school, office work and browsing. It has the same aluminum body as the Ryzen 7 model, with a six-core Ryzen 5 8645HS, 16 GB of memory, a 512 GB SSD and a 15.6″ Full HD screen at 60 Hz, for $350 less.
We ran both side by side. With 30 browser tabs, a spreadsheet and a video call open, the Ryzen 5 stayed just as responsive. The gap shows in long, heavy jobs: a 10-minute 1080p video export took 9 min 10 s here and 6 min 50 s on the Ryzen 7. Its 2.8K screen also shows sharper text. Our guide to choosing a laptop for work and school explains where the money matters.
Which Book 15 to choose
- This model: documents, school, browsing and video calls, on a budget of $649
- Ryzen 7 with 32 GB: photo editing, coding and many apps at once
- The Ryzen 7 also has the matte 2.8K screen at 120 Hz, which is easier on the eyes over a long day
Same as the Ryzen 7 model
- An aluminum body that weighs 3.7 lb
- A full-size keyboard with a number pad
- Two USB-C 4.0 ports with charging, two USB-A ports and HDMI
16 GB is the amount we recommend as a minimum, and 512 GB holds a few years of documents and photos. When this configuration is out of stock, the Ryzen 7 model ships free next day and both qualify for 12 months 0% APR.
