From the left, Mr. Tsuda, Mr. Asano, Mr. Nakagawa
-Thank you for joining us today. First of all, please tell us about your work.
I used to be a company employee, but a while ago I started a company with a friend. . Currently working as a video creator. It's been 5 years since I've been a social worker. |
I'm in my 3rd year working. She works as an accountant at a manufacturer. |
I am 29 years old. She is a freelance management consultant. |
――Everyone, of course, use a computer for work, so here is a survey of 422 young business people ( I would like to hold a round-table discussion to explore the troubled PC situation while watching Mynavi News.
Question ①There are many people who have purchased a personal computer in the first year of working. I bought it in my third year as a member of society. It was just around the time when I started preparing to become independent, and I needed a computer. |
I also bought it in the third year. Like Mr. Nakagawa, I became a freelancer. |
I'm in my first year as a member of society. Unlike the two of you, I bought it completely for my hobby. It was right around the time I got my bonus, so I thought I'd like to do some shopping. I wasn't sure if I should use a tablet or a computer, but I thought a computer would be better for watching movies and editing photos. |
=Conclusion: Many of them are in their 1st to 3rd year as working adults?
-According to the survey, many people, like Asano, thought about buying a computer during the bonus period. How about Nakagawa-san and Tsuda-san?
I was going to be independent, so it was a feeling that I bought it out of necessity. |
I also bought it because I needed it for my work after becoming independent. |
――Regarding how you use your computer, do you choose “private” or “both (private and work)”? There were many people who answered.
I use it for work, but there are surprisingly few people who say "only work"! |
It may be due to the increased time spent at home due to the corona crisis. There may be many people who use it both privately and telework. |
It is understandable that many people use it for browsing websites, online shopping, and creating materials and documents. . I also don't use SNS or play games on my computer... |
Most of the uses that are ranked high in my survey. Among these, I don't watch videos much, but I feel like I may use SNS. We had a few online drinking parties, but now we don't do them anymore. |
I watch videos, edit photos, and occasionally talk on Zoom. On the other hand, I use my smartphone to browse the top website and shop online, so I don't think I'll do it on my computer. |
=Conclusion: After all, something that can be used for both work and private life seems to be good.
Question 3
-Price and performance were the most important points when purchasing a computer, with price being the most important. became.
That's pretty obvious! The first thing I thought about when I bought a computer was the price. |
Same! First of all, I had my own budget. |
That's right. I also like the price. In the first place, I don't need such high performance for my work... |
――Everyone emphasizes "price". What was your budget when you bought your first computer?
100,000 yen! |
――The three of you answered perfectly (laughs). It may be a realistic budget for a young business person in his twenties to buy a personal computer.
--However, it's better to have as good performance as possible, isn't it? When pursuing performance within a budget, the most important points were "comfortable operation even when online," "smooth startup," and "smooth multitasking."
This answer makes a lot of sense. I am also worried about "moving smoothly with multitasking". I wasn't conscious of it when I bought it, but now that I'm working as a video editor, I sometimes wonder if I should have bought a higher-spec computer... |
I often have online meetings, so it's important to be "comfortable even when online" hey. You may also be concerned about battery life. I often work away from home. |
I often watch videos, so I'm concerned about image quality and screen size. increase. Battery life is also important. I don't take my computer outside, but I do watch videos in bed, so I'm concerned about battery life! |
=Conclusion: Price is the best, but performance is also a concern...
Question 4
-Many people feel that the points they place importance on when choosing a computer have changed as a result of the pandemic.
Certainly, I spend a lot more time at home. That's why I spend more time watching videos, so I'd like to choose a computer that makes it easier to watch videos. |
--As Mr. Asano said, the most common voice for the "impact of the corona disaster" is "becoming more focused on performance." That's what it means.
・Since I have more opportunities to watch videos, I have started to consider the size of the screen.・Since I watch more videos, I have become more particular about image quality and sound quality.・Until now, I have focused on cost. However, performance has become more important. ・Since I have more opportunities to use a computer than before, I wanted to purchase something with better functionality to increase efficiency. ・The number of online meetings has increased, so the processing speed has increased. I started to choose something that is fast ・Because my work style has changed from going to work to working from home, I carry more computers. Lately, I've been thinking about battery life. ・I used to be particular about name value, but now focus on quality. ・Since I spend more time using my computer at home, I'm also paying attention to quietness.
Similar to what we felt! If I were to buy one now, I would want a computer that I would use as much as possible and not have any stress. |
People who are particular about screen size, image quality, and sound quality are increasing. |
If you use it at work, you absolutely need specs that can work comfortably even with multitasking. It seems that the increase in terewāku has an impact. |
= Conclusion: "Performance" is now more important than before.
--Everyone talked about the points of choosing a computer from the perspective of their respective jobs and hobbies. I think that the specs of the PC required will change depending on the budget and usage. So, this time, I would like to introduce some "PCs that are perfect for working people to buy with winter bonuses"!
mouse F5-i5POINT Standard model of mouse computer. Equipped with the latest Windows 11, it is a full-fledged machine with a narrow frame, a large 15.6-inch screen, and an easy-to-operate numeric keypad. Due to the large screen, it weighs about 2.03 kg, which is a little heavy, so it is basically intended for home use, but the battery life is about 7.5 hours, so you can use it without connecting to a power source. . Above all, the biggest point is the price of 79,800 yen (tax excluded) [87,780 yen (tax included)].Eh! It's cheap! |
Great! Even though the performance is sufficiently high, the price is far below 100,000 yen. |
Cospa is the best. |

mouse X4-i5POINTNext is a slightly more compact model than before. The price will be higher than before, but it is 94,800 yen (tax excluded) [104,280 yen (tax included)], which is your budget of 100,000 yen. It has all the functions you want in the standard, and the CPU is equipped with a high-performance Intel Core i5-10210U processor. Office software and Photoshop can work without problems. Also noteworthy is the weight, which is only about 1.13 kg despite the large 14-inch screen. It has a battery life of about 12 hours, so it is one that can be taken out and used not only at home but also when going out.This is really good! When I picked it up, I was surprised that it was lighter than I had imagined (laughs). Portability is more important to me than anything else, so the lightness and battery life are very helpful. |
Certainly light! I thought the computer I'm using now is also light, but this mouse X4-i5 is even lighter than that. The screen is big enough and clean. This is nice |
For general use, the performance is already sufficient. The price of the previous mouse F5-i5 was also amazing, but this mouse X4-i5 is also attractive because it has just the right amount of performance I want. |

DAIV 4PPOINT The last one is from "DAIV", a brand for creators of mouse computers. The main feature of this computer is its lightness! There are only about 985g of 1kg cut. However, since it is a model for creators, it is equipped with a high-spec CPU and GPU, and the memory and SSD have double the capacity of the two units introduced so far. The price is 139,800 yen (excluding tax) [from 153,780 yen (including tax)], which is a little expensive, but it has such specs, so it will be useful for multitasking during business, and performance is important. It is a model that I would definitely recommend to creators.This is amazing! Even if it is expensive, I think it is cheap enough considering this performance. I like that it has Intel Iris Xe graphics. I think it's perfect for video editing. |
For my current usage, the performance so far is over-spec, but video editing If there is a possibility to start in earnest, it seems good to invest first. I thought it would be nice to have a silver housing. |
It's true that my work doesn't require such high performance, but I'll start with something better If you buy it, you will be safe in the future. |

――Now that we have introduced the three models, which one do you think you want the most?
I'm definitely "DAIV 4P"! After all, high performance is necessary for video editing. |
I am "mouse X4-i5"! I got it for 100,000 yen, and I thought it would be good if the housing was thin and light. If you want more cost performance, I think "mouse F5-i5" is also good. If you don't take it out of the house, the cost performance of "mouse F5-i5" is amazing. |
I'm "mouse X4-i5". I carry a computer with me at work, so it's better if it's thin and lightweight, but I can't use up the performance of the "DAIV 4P" (laughs), so even if I consider the price of 100,000 yen, the "mouse X4-i5" Kana and. |
This time, together with three young business people, we thought about the personal computer that we should buy as a bonus. The viewpoint of choosing a personal computer, such as usage and design, as well as budget, varies from person to person. The most important thing is to choose a computer that suits your purpose.
With a wide variety of mouse computers, you should be able to find the perfect one for everyone from casual users to professional creators. If you are thinking of buying a computer as a bonus this winter, please use this article as a reference.
